Jim Baxter, Director of Allanwater, said: “We are proud to have broken ground on our newest development in the Central Belt, in Carluke. As a family-owned developer, we are committed to building high-quality homes in exceptional locations and take our responsibility to meet local demand for homes very seriously. We understand that creating new communities goes beyond the bricks and mortar, which is why we have contributed nearly a million pounds into the local area as part of our planning obligations, which will help to fund local projects including affordable housing, educational projects, and improving infrastructure to everyone’s benefit.”

“Carluke itself is an attractive semi-rural town with great travel connections across the Central Belt to Glasgow and Edinburgh, and we are proud to be building a range of homes to suit buyers’ needs across the entire market, from first time buyers and young families to downsizers.”

The new homes at Allanwater Carluke are located just a short 5-minute drive from Carluke town centre, and approximately 15 minutes from both Wishaw and Larkhall. Carluke Train Station offers regular services to Glasgow (40 minutes) and Edinburgh (one hour), and is situated less than 1.5 miles from the development.
