Chapel Gardens will bring 81 new energy-efficient homes to the area.

The site has been home to various uses over the years, including a monastery and, more recently, the Notre Dame School and St Michaels Primary School. Both have been demolished, but many of the existing mature trees and landscaping have been retained.

Chapel Gardens will feature a mix of three, four, and five-bedroom homes. The new homes will be built in a mix of brick and render complemented by Hardie Plank to impart a nautical feel, reflecting the development’s proximity to the Firth of Clyde.

Chapel Gardens follows Miller Homes’ other Dumbarton development, Garshake Gardens, which is now nearing completion. It will be the fourth Miller Homes development in West Dunbartonshire over the last few years, joining Braidfields, Millerbank, and Garshake Gardens.

Andrew McArthur, regional operations director for Miller Homes Scotland West, said: “West Dunbartonshire is becoming an increasingly popular location for families looking for a new home. The area offers the perfect combination of suburban living with exceptional connectivity by road and rail. There is an excellent mix of local amenities and leisure attractions nearby, including Loch Lomond, making it a highly desirable location for people looking to call it home. Thanks to the expertise of our land team, we have secured a fantastic location to create new communities.”

Construction is underway on the development, with homes available to pre-reserve in late summer.
