Persimmon Homes - Forth Valley View, FK2

Development info

• Site plan

Our new build development in Shieldhill couldn’t be in a better, central location, for easy access to Scotland’s two great cities and to the key towns in between. With a range of two, three, and four-bedroom new homes, Forth Valley View will suit first-time buyers, growing families, professionals, and downsizers. The village has a good range of local services, including a primary school, and for all the extras, Falkirk is literally just up the road. It’s home to the famous Falkirk Wheel and the equally famous Kelpies – the largest horse sculptures in the world. Both of these attractions bring visitors to the town, ensuring that Falkirk is a thriving place to live as well.

To get your bearings, Stirling is 17 miles away, Glasgow is 26 miles away, and Edinburgh is 27 miles away. It's no wonder why this is a very popular place to live, halfway between the Capital of Scotland and the Capital of Culture.

Leisure

The Firth of Forth, The Falkirk Wheel, and the famous Kelpies, are all part of the natural and man-made landscape here. For sport, leisure, and entertainment local venues include the Polmont Sports Centre, the Falkirk Stadium, Callendar House and Lake, Muiravonside Country Park and the Helix Park. Linlithgow Palace plays a huge part in Scottish history. It’s been closed for renovation work, but it’s hoped that visitors will be welcomed back there very soon.

Shopping

Shieldhill has a primary school for your younger children, a Post Office, a couple of convenient takeaways, and two local shops for picking up day-to-day shopping. For your weekly shop, there’s a Tesco supermarket in Reddingmuirhead, just a mile away. Falkirk’s Central Retail Park and choice of Superstores add to your shopping list, while its choice of secondary schools, further education campus, and leisure facilities, add to the options for growing families.

Transport

The nearest train station is at Polmont, a short 9-minute drive away. It offers ScotRail services on the Glasgow to Edinburgh line via Falkirk, in addition to services on the Edinburgh to Stirling line. Commuters can join Junction 5 of the M9 just north of Polmont and the A883 from Falkirk takes you to Junction 1 of the M876 which becomes the M80.
