Chance to start summer in style with new builds

If the thought of DIY or home renovations sends a shiver down your spine, then a new-build property might be more up your street.

From stunning semidetached homes and attractive apartments to beautiful bungalows, housebuilders Springfield Properties and Tulloch Homes have unveiled six new builds that will be ready to move into this summer.

FORRES

In Forres, Springfield Properties have just put The Ardmore on the market at their Knockomie Braes development.

At the heart of the modern three-bedroom semi-detached home is a sleek and spacious living room which leads into an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area.

Designed for busy families, this property – priced at £243,000 – also features a sunroom with French doors leading out to the back garden plus a bedroom with en suite.

ELGIN

Also on the market is The Auldearn, an immaculate two-bedroom apartment at South Glassgreeen, the Springfield Properties development in Elgin.

On the market for £155,000, this first-floor property features a superb living and kitchen space with fully integrated appliances.

DORNOCH

Further north in Dornoch, Springfield Properties also have a selection of three-bedroom homes on the market including The Dallachy, a fantastic family home – priced at £251,000 – with an open-plan kitchen dining and lounge plus a sunroom.

INVERNESS

Tulloch Homes also have some wonderful new builds on the market in Inverness and the surrounding area.

Just an eight-minute drive into the city, The Goosander is an apartment on the market for £300,000 at the Drummond Hill development.

The height of modern living, the apartment features an open-plan lounge and kitchen, complete with a modern bay window and private balcony.

KIRKHILL

Equally as impressive is The Corran, a threebedroom detached bungalow on the market for £370,000 at Tulloch Homes’ Highland View development in Kirkhill.

Just 20 minutes from Inverness, the bungalow has a plethora of amazing features including a designer kitchen, a family room and a spacious lounge plus three good-sized bedrooms.

NESS-SIDE

Last, but by no means least, is The Tweed, a fourbedroom detached home on the market for £320,000 at The Maples in Ness-Side in Inverness.

Spanning two floors, this stunning home features a spacious lounge and large open-plan kitchen and dining area with French doors leading to the garden.

Springfield divisional sales director Joyce Hadden says their choice of homes will suit everyone from couples and families to those who are looking to downsize.

“We’re proud to offer a wide range of showstopping, energy-efficient and low-maintenance homes at attractive fixed prices,” says Joyce.

“All situated within thriving community locations, these homes are finished to the highest quality and with unrivalled specification ensuring homeowners can start the summer season in style.”
