Welcome to
Silver Birches, Alford
Close to perfection. Close to AberdeenWhen we discovered the location for Silver Birches, we knew we’d struck gold. With breathtaking views of rolling hills and scenic countryside, Silver Birches sits on Greystone Road - close to all the amenities of the lively and historic market town of Alford. And amazingly, given the peaceful character of Alford, Aberdeen is just 25 miles away.
Skirted by the magnificent River Don and surrounded by hills Alford is a thriving town with a wide selection of restaurants, businesses and shops. If you’re feeling energetic, the town also boasts a dry ski slope, skate park and swimming pool.
Our delightful collection of family-focused homes at Silver Birches is designed to suit all lifestyles, with a range of properties offering options from 2 to 5 bedrooms.
The whole area is alive with interest. You can hillwalk in the Cairngorms, walk the Gordon Way or take a ramble along the peaks of Bennachie. For fishing, the River Don is perfect.
If you’d asked me a few months ago, I’d have said that a new-build wouldn’t have been my first choice when moving home...
but it’s been great, lovely; everything’s new and clean, bright and airy. In fact, I’d buy another house from Stewart Milne because of the support I’ve had.
The staff are so easy to deal with
You hear some horror stories about buying a new build. I know from hearsay that it can be a case of, ‘Here’s your keys; cheers! See you later’ and then you’re chasing the site office for a fortnight. Not with Stewart Milne, though; there’s a designated person in customer care and the site office are easy to deal with. I’ve had people checking just to make sure that we were happy. The support I’ve had has been great. Sure, a couple of minor things have gone wrong, but they’ve been attended to within 24 hours. Everything’s been good.
Silver Birches… the perfect situation
We were relocating from 250 miles away and obviously needed somewhere that was more commutable to work. Silver Birches is on the edge of a lovely village. It’s out in the country and just really nice. For us, it was the perfect situation. We’ve picked a nice place; it feels like somewhere we can stay. We were just saying the other day how much we like living here.
Part exchange made our move viable
Stewart Milne’s part exchange made the move financially viable. We were having difficulty selling our old house and wouldn’t have been able to move otherwise. As it is, the move has proved to be cost effective. You get a good quality house for the money. The actual sale itself was dead easy, too.
I would certainly recommend Stewart Milne Homes
I would certainly recommend Stewart Milne Homes because of the quality of the houses; they’re good value for money. We also feel we’re living somewhere where we can put down roots. That’s why I would recommend.
As first-time buyers, we were obviously concerned about the financial side of things. Would we be able to afford it?...
so Stewart Milne’s first-time buyers’ package was really helpful. It wasn’t just about the price of the house; it was that they help you out with getting the flooring and other stuff done.
Fixtures and fittings all in place
With a new house there’s so much you need to do before it’s liveable. Stewart Milne did all our flooring and curtains. They even ensured the turfing was done. It was so great having this convenience from the day we moved in. Our curtains were already up and we were basically ready to go. We had that sense of comfort and homeliness right from the off. Aside from the obvious stresses of moving day, it’s just been so easy; all in all, a stress-free move really.
A proper country feel
This was a big move for us from the city centre, but we wanted to move to a more rural place and knew Alford anyway. We liked the village and the development was really nice as well. Being on the outskirts, it’s looking right on to fields. It’s got a proper country feel to things. We love it! We’re really happy and the house is ideal for us. In fact, even if we had the option to buy bigger, we wouldn’t have done.
The staff really make an effort
Everyone’s been really nice, really friendly. Staff answer questions and make the effort to find out everything they can, and it’s not just the sales team, but on the customer service and building side of things as well. The guys have been really good. Derek is really friendly and will help out as much as he can. For instance, he gave us paint for touch-ups when we moved in. You can easily buy paint in the shop, but it’s not necessarily the same brand or batch. It’s those little things that make the difference.
I would absolutely recommend Stewart Milne, especially to first-time buyers
I would absolutely recommend Stewart Milne Homes because, given our age, a lot of our friends are in the market for first-time buyer properties. It can be really difficult to buy a house, but Stewart Milne’s first-time buyers’ package made it so easy. That’s why I would recommend.
