Manager's notes:Abbeyfield Lenzie is a large stone villa set in the original village at the heart of the community. We have accommodation for nine residents each room having en suite facilities. There is also a guestroom and housekeeper's room, again with en suite facilities.
Recently a large conservatory has been added to the house, which has greatly enhanced the comfort and accommodation for residents. The house itself has sunny aspects and is south facing but also has magnificent rear views of the Campsie Hills. The local shops - post office, chemist, newsagent, hairdresser, bank, doctor and dentist's surgeries and library are all very convenient, as is all local transport - rail and bus.
