Located at Stepford Road, just north of the city’s Edinburgh Road, Lochwood Gardens will comprise a collection of 106 homes including a mix of two, three and four-bedroom detached, semi-detached and terraced homes.

Creating a landmark community for Glasgow East, the developer said its new Lochwood Gardens project is set to be a welcome addition to the area, with initial plans including the development of a nature garden and a play area as part of the sustainable new neighbourhood which will boast views of Cathkin Brae.

Linda McLuskie, sales and marketing director for Merchant Homes, said: “This is an exciting milestone for what will be a truly unique development for Glasgow East.

“Stepford Road is a prime location within the city and we look forward to creating a brand new community there. With a variety of housetypes – some of which are a first for Merchant Homes – we are confident the development will be a popular choice with a wide range of prospective new homebuyers, from those taking their first steps onto the property ladder, to those with growing families who are looking to secure a step up.

“We look forward to releasing more details of our plans for Lochwood Gardens as they progress.”

Work on the new development will begin in April 2019 with the launch of the first phase of homes expected to be released in May 2019.
