Take your pick at a niche development

For buyers looking for a home with an air of exclusivity, Merchant Homes has unveiled just four contemporary villas at its Philipshill Gardens development in Lanarkshire.

Set close to both Clarkston and Busby, the four villas, one of which has already been reserved, complement the apartments at the niche location.

Just nine two-bedroomed apartments are being built with only two still available.

The Rowan Villas are of a contemporary design to fit in with the existing streetscape and semi-rural backdrop.

Each has four bedrooms, over more than 2,300sq ft of flowing space and has been constructed to maximise sustainability and to reduce energy use.

Passive solar gain will be utilised in conjunction with high levels of thermal insulation, energy-efficient heating systems and high performance windows and doors.

Each villa features two en-suites bathrooms as well as a state-of-the-art kitchen with a large dining and family room, and an integral garage.

The villas will be ready for occupation in March while
