The Denewood-II

“A lot of new build estates are bland with a lack of creativity and imagination; Brackenhill Park is a warm, pleasant environment that’s well thought out.”

“It’s a village-like community here.”
There are pathways they’ve created for people to take their dogs around and to walk, and you can enjoy being around the trees and hedgerows they’ve planted. The lack of uniformity that makes it pleasing to the eye, and the various stone and brick they’ve used gives it a more mature feel. With a public park and space around you it's like living in the country, but you’re also close to all the amenities and shops.

“The houses themselves have an almost North American feel, not something you’d normally associate with modern houses in Scotland.”
The wood effect cladding adds character and enhances the aesthetic of the development. They also mix up the house styles and reverse the layouts, so they’re not all the same. It doesn’t feel enclosed or overcrowded, and you’re not overlooked.

“It’s quiet and family friendly.”
We have two young children, so this development is perfect for us. Our home is right across from a children’s play park and we find it a safe environment where we can keep an eye on them. We had problems with anti-social behaviour where our old house was situated, but because this development isn’t a through-way for people, it’s away from the main town and we’re surrounded by fields, you don’t get anyone here who will make trouble. We just live around our very friendly neighbours.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because there is just a bit of magic about it. Someone has made it pretty and it's different to others. I would recommend the build quality.

“We have a really peaceful plot on Brackenhill Park.”

“We have a south facing back garden with a woodland view, which is not overlooked.”
From where we previously lived, Brackenhill Park is so peaceful and quiet. Although the development is still on going, as the building works progress further from our home we are conscious of just how peaceful it is.

“One of the reasons we decided to buy on a new development was the fact that everyone would be new too.”
We liked that we would all be moving in fresh, so we could establish new relationships as neighbours on the street. Since we’ve been here everyone has been very helpful and nice. They’ve already set up the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme and committees, so everything is going well.

“What stands out is the kerb appeal of the houses.”
The use of the light stonework is quite effective when you drive into the estate, and when you drive through you can see that each house is individual and slightly different, compared to other developers where the houses are exactly the same. There is a mix of Cotswold stone, red and black brickwork and some houses have grey, or light green, wood cladding at the top. I’m also looking forward to the walkways they have started putting in that will go around the whole of the development.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because the overall finish is of a higher standard to other developers we viewed.

"There is a nice ambience about the whole area, the whole site."

“Looking outside my front window I love to see the green space.”
It's unusual to have an area that size dedicated that way because usually developers will just put numerous houses in the area. There's a play area for the children, and although you may sometimes think of these developments as places where people keep themselves to themselves, we've been very lucky to have such friendly neighbours.

“Stewart Milne Homes has planned Brackenhill Park well.”
They've thought of minimising the volume of traffic by ensuring there aren't entrances to the main road all over the place, which helps, and they've made sure all the houses aren't the same as the ones beside them. Each style is different.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because of the overall customer service and the quality of the home.

“We’re happy with our home and the friendly, welcoming community; we’re looking forward to spending our future here.”

“One of the reasons we chose to move, was to have bigger bedrooms for our children as they grow up, and we managed to achieve that with this design.”
They had a range of options to suit various customer needs, with homes ranging from three, to four and five-bedroom homes. Some homes also came with the option of a second living area that could be chosen to meet individual needs, such as a TV room, dining room or toy room for the children. We chose the toy room.

“As we drive up to the development the layout and the home designs make it really appealing to the eye.”
I like the design of the paths we can walk on to access the various parts of the development, and they are building a play park for the children too. It will be nice to have a nice, large, communal grass area that the whole community can use in the summer.

“Brackenhill Park has all the essential amenities and transport links for pleasure or for commuting to work.”
The local area is part of what made this home the right choice for us. There are two accessible railway stations, a bus station and shops nearby to get supplies. There are also a lot of restaurants close by to enjoy.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because the house designs are really nice and attractive and it's a nice area to reside in.
