Homes with ‘wow factor’
Canonmills development opens new showhome after lockdown pause
The Canonmills Garden show home and marketing suite in Edinburgh opens to the general public today, giving potential home buyers a look at the possibilities of post-lockdown living.
There’s been a huge amount of interest in the show home so far, with an online booking system in place allowing tours to be carried out safely.
Priority tours have already been carried out for existing purchasers at the niche development by Artisan Real Estate, which is a mix of 180 one, two- and three-bedroom apartments and colony-style properties overlooking the Water of Leith in Canonmills to the north of Edinburgh city centre.
With almost two-thirds of apartments now sold since the development first hit the market last year, purchasers have enjoyed their first glimpse of what their new homes could look like.
“There’s definitely been a ‘wow factor’ as our customers experience the size and scale of the apartments for the first time,” says Christie Turner, Artisan’s sales supervisor.
“We have sold 64 per cent of the properties off-plan, so it’s great to be able to now reveal to our purchasers exactly what they have bought.
“And so far, their reaction as they walk in has been amazing to see – especially when they experience the light and airy living spaces for the first time, as well as the quality of the flooring and the fittings in the kitchen and bathroom.”
The showhomes decor is by renowned interior designer Carol Yates, with post-lockdown living very much in mind. Scandinavian influences combine with the solid oak flooring, adding a natural texture to the rooms.
Accents of colour have been introduced with soft-layered fabrics and cushions to bring depth and warmth to the show home.
Sales at Canonmills Garden are continuing apace, despite the coronavirus-related challenges of recent months, with two first-phase blocks now sold out and only one colony property remaining.
Prices and value are also increasing, with the average value of apartments growing by 7 per cent since the development’s marketing launch in 2019.
A range of apartments is now available at Canonmills Garden with prices starting at £249,500.
