STRATHCLYDE HOMES RELEASES PHASE THREE OF THE POPULAR TOWNHOUSES AT SCHOLARS’ GATE, BATHGATE

New Viewhome Due

West Lothian continues to be a fashionable location for new homebuyers with Strathclyde Homes’ spacious townhouses at Scholars’ Gate, Bathgate, proving to be a popular option. Sales of these flexible family homes has been very positive leading to the release of phase three earlier than expected.

Neil Gaffney, sales director of Strathclyde Homes says: "Our townhouses are substantially cheaper, per square foot, than comparable new homes in this area. It is the extra space and flexibility of use that is attracting families and those who just want to ‘spread out’ in their living space.”

Take the three bedroom McDonald for example, which occupies three floors; the ground floor comprises spacious lounge/family room, kitchen/diner with French doors to the rear garden, and WC.

The first floor has two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, and they share a ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom.

The top floor has the third-bedroom suite, comprising wardrobe, dressing area, double shower ensuite, and Parisian style balcony.

Neil adds: “We have also introduced a viewhome, the six-bedroom Burns villa. This incredibly spacious villa occupies three floors and really needs to be viewed to get a true picture of its size and flexibility.

“Particularly impressive is the top floor which has two further bedrooms and a shower room that can be either ensuite for bedroom four or shared with bedroom five. The large landing accesses an area with space for a snug or library and leads to a spectacularly proportioned room of 24 feet by 12 feet which the family can choose to use as anything from a play room, to a games room, or even as a home cinema – in fact whatever suits your lifestyle.”

Scholars’ Gate is ideally located for commuting into either Glasgow or Edinburgh. Both cities are an approximate 30-minute rail journey with Edinburgh linked directly, whilst the popular towns of West Lothian have plenty to offer on a more local scale.

Prices for the townhouses start from £175,950. The showhome and viewhome is open daily from 10.30am to 5.30pm. For further information on Scholars’ Gate, including the terms and conditions for the incentive offers, contact the customer reception on 01506 650637 or visit www.strathclydehomes.com.

MORE AWARDS FOR CLYDE RIVERFRONT

Last Townhouse Currently Available

The amazing success that Strathclyde Homes and Park Lane are experiencing at their Clyde Riverfront development in Yoker has been recognised by two of Scotland’s leading publications.

The sales advisers working at Clyde Riverfront have won the Sales Team of The Season award from the Scotsman’s New Home Locations Scotland magazine and the development has been nominated for Best Show Home, along with three others, by the Herald for their Property Awards for Scotland, the results of which are soon to be announced.

Strathclyde Homes’ sales and marketing director Neil Gaffney says: “We are delighted with the acclaim Clyde Riverfront is getting from the industry media, but real success is measured by the response from the general public.

“They have shown, evident by our excellent sales figures, that they like what we are doing at Clyde Riverfront. All our available apartments are sold out and we are down to the last townhouse that offers outstanding value for a spacious family home.

”We are, however, delighted to be able to say that the next release of townhouses will be around mid September with the next release of apartments expected towards the end of September. It’s definitely a case of registering your interest as soon as possible – if the last few months are anything to go by these new homes will also be snapped up pretty quickly.”

The remaining townhouse is priced at £237,000 and comes with high quality fitted kitchens featuring Smeg appliances; stainless steel integral electric oven, gas hob and chimney hood with extractor fan.

The pristine white bathrooms and ensuites include chrome detail throughout for the shower, bath and basin, and a choice of high quality Porcelanosa tiles and sanitaryware. Fitted wardrobes by Kelvin are provided in each main bedroom. 

Adding to the stylish, contemporary feel are beech veneer internal doors with brush steel door furniture. While this impressive specification is standard, those choosing to be part of the Clyde Riverfront community can personalise their home with a variety of optional extras.

The amazing response from the public to the initial launch of Clyde Riverfront, and the subsequent high interest, has prompted Strathclyde Homes to set up an advance mailing list for the next phase of townhouses and apartments.

Once completed Clyde Riverfront will provide over 450 new homes comprising one and two bedroom apartments, a selection of three and four bedroom townhouses, semi detached villas and terraced villas.

To be placed on the mailing list for the townhouses or apartments, contact the sales and marketing suite, which is open seven days from 10.30am to 5.30pm, on 0845 2417003, or to visit the fabulous showhome or visit www.clyderiverfront.com.
