The village of Broughton is a thriving community with plenty to offer people of all ages. The well regarded local Primary School’s roll tends to be under 100 children, bringing its own appeal.

Situated only six miles from Biggar, all other amenities are close at hand.
Peebles is 13 miles to the east and offers further opportunities for shopping and recreation. There are outdoor pursuits right on the doorstep, whether walking, cycling, horse riding, fishing and more. This flat provides an opportunity to enjoy country life within easy distance of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Road links to Edinburgh and Glasgow are readily accessible, as is the A701 south to Moffat and the M74.
