Cornhill Village

Cornhill Village, developed by Barratt Homes, is a substantial new build community located off Strathaven Road in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire (ML3 7UX), positioned approximately a five-minute drive from the historic town centre. This phase of the development focuses on high-quality 3 and 4 bedroom houses, offering a practical and well-connected environment for families and commuters. The wider Cornhill Village site, a joint venture that also includes David Wilson Homes, will deliver a total of 781 new private and social homes, alongside significant community infrastructure.

Cornhill Village is strategically situated for South Lanarkshire and Glasgow commuters. Road access is excellent, with the development providing close proximity to the M74 motorway and A723, placing Glasgow city centre less than 17 miles away. For rail commuters, Hamilton Central train station is approximately 1.7 miles from the site. Regular train services from Hamilton Central provide an average journey time of just 29 minutes to Glasgow Central station, with the fastest services taking as little as 26 minutes.

Local Amenities and Services

Residents benefit from being a short drive from the comprehensive amenities of Hamilton town centre. Local shopping is catered for by Hamilton Retail Park, which is situated adjacent to Hamilton West station and includes a large Sainsbury's and other retail outlets. A full-service Morrisons Superstore is also located on New Park Street in the town centre. Educational provision for the area includes local catchment schools such as St. Peter’s Primary School and Hamilton Grammar School for secondary education. The development itself is designed to enhance the local area with new infrastructure, including a new link road connecting Strathaven Road to Meikle Earnock Road, alongside extensive footpath and cycle path networks, play areas, and enhanced woodland walks.
