Going, going…

With the sun beginning to shine, there’s no better time to start afresh in a new home. But would-be movers should act now – as Redrow only has a select few properties remaining for summer completion.

The Larbert-based housebuilder has a wide portfolio of properties across Scotland’s central belt and aims to cater to the needs of home buyers on all rungs of the ladder.

What’s more, those who move into their new Redrow home before the end of June could benefit from a very special offer.

Diana Newton, sales director for Redrow Homes (Scotland), explains: “We know that buying a new home is a big financial commitment and that’s why we’re offering up to £10,000 discount on selected properties to those who move in before the end of June. The extra cash could be put towards a conservatory to enjoy the warmer weather, or even a holiday, the choice is yours. There are only a handful of homes left that qualify for this offer, so anyone interested should call us to find out what we could do for them.”

If living at the heart of the action appeals, then Route 1 West in Anniesland is the perfect match. Located just five miles away from Glasgow city centre, the development has the advantage of being right next to the cosmopolitan West End and its amenities, while also offering great value for money compared to schemes in the heart of the city centre.

Diana says: “Living in reach of the city centre is very desirable today, and we can offer that lifestyle to buyers at all stages of life. As you’d expect in this location, we have a sophisticated range of two and three-bedroom apartments, ideal for young professionals and couples, as well as down-sizers. But unusually, we also have an impressive range of four-bedroom townhouses – which opens up the option of city living to the family market as well.”

Prices for a two-bedroom apartment currently start from £176,000, with a three-bedroom design coming in at £215,500. The luxurious four-bedroom, three-storey townhouses start at £299,995.

In Lanark, Redrow offers a slice of rural tranquillity at Heather Lea.

Boasting fantastic views over the South Lanarkshire countryside, Heather Lea will appeal to those who want to leave all their stresses behind at the end of a hectic day. Both two and three-bedroom bungalows, priced from £191,000 and £213,500 respectively, and four-bedroom three-storey homes, starting at £208,995, are currently available.

Diana says: “Bungalow living is great for families with young children as with everything on one floor, there’s no need to worry about the practicalities of staircases – which is also true for the older generation. In contrast, those with older children find that having three-floors of living space can allow teenagers and older children to have more privacy.”

Both road and rail users are well served – thanks to motorway access - and regular train services run from Lanark railway station.

In North Lanarkshire, there is only one chance remaining to move into Garncroft Wynd, Glenboig, before summer gets into full flow.

Located just 10 miles from Glasgow, residents have the best of both worlds – a relaxing base in the charming village of Glenboig, and easy access to larger nearby towns and cities. There’s also a regular train service from nearby Gartcosh, which takes less than 20 minutes to Glasgow Queen Street.

The last summer-entry home is a four-bedroom three-storey Walkham. Priced at £218,000, the ground floor takes in the lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, utility and cloakroom, while two bedrooms – one with en-suite - and the family bathroom are located on the first floor. At the top of the house are two spacious bedrooms.

Diana adds: “The Walkham is a coveted design, and really lends itself to those who are creative and want something a little different from the norm. All of our developments have something special to offer, and as our up to £10,000 discount can’t last for long, now is the time to move to ensure you don’t miss out.”
