Consumers wishing to live in a rural location, but not move too far away from the city may be tempted by Barratt's latest development in Lanarkshire.

The Rushes in Glenboig has seen 94 of its 96 properties sold, meaning that the show home has now been put up for sale.

Priced at £235,000, the detached Ascot villa comes complete with curtains, carpets, interior decoration, alarm system and landscaped gardens to the front and rear.

With four bedrooms and a study that could be used as a fifth, the property may be ideal for a family.

West Scotland sales director for the firm Said Barratt comments: "Situated in a prime position on the development, the Ascot show home represents great value for money and with carpets and landscaped gardens included in the price."

He adds that the property is ready to move into before Christmas.

Elsewhere in the Glasgow region, homebuilder Redrow recently announced the release of a fully-furnished townhouse in the city.
