Westpoint Homes Home on the Grange
WHILE everyone knows that hours spent commuting can be relentlessly frustrating and dull, it is less well known that it can actually have an adverse effect on health.
A study of 34,000 employees showed that longer commuting workers are 33% more likely to suffer from depression than those with commutes of under half an hour.
Those with shorter journeys also gain an additional seven days’ worth of productive time each year compared to those with commutes of more than an hour.
Westpoint Homes latest development in Dalmeny, Rosebery Grange, is the ideal commuting location at only seven miles to the capital and a 20 minute train journey from the village.
Caryl Speirs, Sales and Marketing Manager Westpoint Homes, said: “The train station is just a 10 minute walk from the development and there are five trains an hour to Edinburgh which further adds to the ease of commute. With traffic congestion in the city centre, you are quicker travelling by train from Dalmeny rather than trying to get from one end of the city centre to another.
“It’s not just that though – there is an incredible feeling of calm and wellbeing when you arrive in the tranquil, picture postcard village of Dalmeny, after a busy day in the city. Dalmeny has everything you would want from a small village and it is also just a short walk to South Queensferry with its coastal walks and spectacular views of the Forth bridges.”
Commuter convenience is just one of the many benefits of Rosebery Grange which offers exceptional value, in comparison with city new build prices, as well as a much more relaxed pace of life. An inspiring four bedroom show home is set to launch on the 29th of September.
Properties include a choice of three, four and five bedroom homes which have all been named after the designers, architects and families associated with the nearby Dalmeny House and Estate.
Each property comes complete with a choice of luxurious kitchens with a selection of stylish cabinets and worktops, and quality integrated kitchen appliances by NEFF. Equally as lux are the bathrooms with fittings supplied by Hansgrohe and Vitra.
Westpoint Homes is currently offering Part Exchange on selected plots which will be ready for occupancy by Christmas.
Currently available for reservation is a selection of four bedroom properties. These include the impressive Mowbray, one of the largest homes at Rosebery Grange at an impressive 2,354 sq ft. Priced at £640,000 this imposing family home benefits from a vestibule, perfect for shrugging off your coat and kicking off your shoes after a busy day, which leads into a large entrance hall, a rarity in a new build property.
The hall leads to an exceptional 24ft long lounge and dining room, a downstairs cloakroom and the much-admired open plan kitchen with family room, which is also 24ft long.
Upstairs the bedrooms are equally impressive – both the master and second bedroom benefit from en-suite facilities and built in wall-to-wall wardrobes. Bedroom three offers access to substantial storage space in the attic, there is a further bedroom and a contemporary family bathroom.
Another beautiful property for sale is the four bedroom Mentmore which also includes an integrated car port. Featuring an attractive combination of stone and render on the façade, this attractive home features four double bedrooms. The four bedrooms are located on the upper floor and both the master and second bedroom have en-suites and fitted wardrobes. A main bathroom completes the property, which is priced from £575,000.
Steeped in history, Dalmeny is a thriving village within walking distance of South Queensferry with a backdrop of the famous Forth Bridges and a variety of independent shops, bars and restaurants. The development itself is within walking distance of the local nursery, primary and high schools.
A sales office is open Thursday to Monday from 11.00am until 5.30pm.
