Lindsayfield
Overview
Lindsayfield is situated next to the districts of Greenhills and Whitehills. The main road around the edge of Lindsayfield extends offering a drive to the villages of Auldhouse, Strathaven, Chapelton and Leaburn. The main road through the area historically ended at a dead end, but in 2023, was extended through to Jackton, to allow for a large new part of the town to be built in the Jackton Community Growth Area. The new estate will, like Lindsayfield, use the Jackton Road as the boundary, but will also use the Hayhill Road.
Lindsayfield was constructed by a number of major housebuilders, including George Wimpey, Barratt, Lynch, Bellway, Stewart Milne, Cala, Dawn Homes and Persimmon Homes. Lindsayfield is accessed from the eponymous Road which divides four distinct estates on the northern side from the interconnecting southern residential scheme, extending from the Morrisons supermarket to the original western edge of the estate. A new road was constructed west in 2023 named Newhouse Road, connecting the area to Jackton.
Like much of East Kilbride, Lindsayfield is characterised by landscaped open space dividing one phase of house-building from the next, and one builder's contribution from its rivals. There are a small number of bungalows, and a smattering of apartments throughout the district, but the vast majority of properties are three, four and five-bedroom detached houses, making the district very popular with families. Local children attend Castlefield Primary School, St Vincent's Primary School or Crosshouse Primary School; in 2023, Jackton Primary School opened to the northwest of Lindsayfield in the Jackton development.
