“We are really happy with our house because of its good quality and workmanship”

“Our concerns about it being a new build never materialised”

This is our first house together, and because it was our first time going for a new build, we were unsure of what the quality would be like. However, after moving in we found that the house is of a high-quality and our friends and family have also commented on this. The on-site Stewart Milne Homes employees and the welcome pack have also provided us with quick and friendly support for any initial snagging issues we've had.

“Our home is nice and spacious”

The layout of the home is perfect for modern living, for example, the combined dining and kitchen space leading out onto the back garden. The master bedroom walk-in wardrobe is a very generous size and this leaves us to enjoy much more of the bedroom space by storing all our clothing and other items out of the way. Also, having our separate utility room and storage space means that we can keep our kitchen free for more socialising.
“We love living close to the countryside”

In Gillburn Grange, we can enjoy walks in the nearby countryside while also having easy access to shops, parks and transportation. There is plenty of greenery on the development as well which is a great added touch by Stewart Milne, with its trees and grassy spaces in front of each property, and all of the communal areas here are very well maintained.

There is also the layout of Gillburn Grange; there is such a variety of house styles and thought given to the layout of the whole development including the village green, so there is a nice flow to the area. Some houses feature blonde stone frontages, whereas others have red sandstone. The way Stewart Milne Homes have built Gillburn Grange adds plenty of character often missing from newly built developments.


I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because we're really happy with the house. It's great value for money, the size is substantial, and the workmanship is of a great quality.

“We were downsizing, so the proportion and layout of the home attracted us, especially considering the price and location.”

“We did a bit of research, and with the locale and their reputation, Stewart Milne Homes ticked all the boxes.”

When we arrived at the show house, we thought it looked nice, particularly with the kitchen-diner and the walk-in wardrobe. The benefits and incentives appealed to us, and it would be a smooth and straightforward transaction because there was no chain. The assistant we met was so helpful, it sealed the deal.

“It’s quite idyllic.”

Having previously lived in a bungalow surrounded by countryside, we’re happier having a bit of space without so many people around. With just fifty houses, it doesn’t look big, and we don’t feel like we’re in the middle of town because the houses aren’t cramped together. They’ve taken time and effort to add plants and shrubs to provide nice landscaping, and the neighbours are friendly too. It used to be a distance to travel whenever we needed to go shopping, so the location in the furthest southern edge of Aberdeen puts us in a great position. All the amenities are in close proximity, so we have everything we need.

“The follow up from the staff, particularly Brian the Site Manager, has been excellent.”
Of the few small issues we needed to be addressed, most of them have been done. Brian is still on site, and he’s been extremely helpful. Whenever we saw him about anything, he’d try his best to help. From what I’ve seen so far, I’ve been happy.

“We get the best of both worlds with Stewart Milne Homes.”

“Leathen Green looks like a nice area.”

The public transport getting into town has been good. I like the yellow, sandy stone brickwork on the walls because it complements the pebbledash look on most of the houses; there’s a nice aesthetic to the development. Quietness and space are prevalent in the neighbourhood, even though we’re not far from city life, meaning we have easy access if we need it, as well as peaceful days away from the hustle and bustle. Large pavements and paths on Leathen Green also allow me to take my dog for walks safely. Previously, I was concerned about the commute into town for work, but I soon realised there wasn’t as much time difference as I thought.

You know who your neighbours are, which is unique after living in the city. When you live in a city flat, most people keep to themselves. They may nod and say hello, but it’s not the same as here. People come out to meet you once you’ve moved in; the neighbours and the staff are both extremely friendly.

I moved because Stewart Milne Homes had the home I was looking for.

I initially thought a bigger place would feel empty, but once I moved, settled in and filled the home with my things, it felt homely. A separate office was needed as I work from home and this home has fulfilled that. It’s like a little workplace. My garden is also nice and big for the dog, which is amazing as I wanted an area where he could run around safely.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because dealing with Stewart Milne Homes has been a smooth process. Any issues have been dealt with promptly and they’ve made sure I’m happy with the purchase, which is good.

Stewart Milne Homes gives me confidence that things will be done.

“Silver Birches stands out from other developments.”

The houses are bright and colourful; the bricks are the same, but some have green doors, whilst others have grey. It’s also very peaceful. The play park will be a vital feature for me when it’s open. I have a two-year-old and I’m a childminder by trade, so I’ll be able to save money on travelling whilst keeping the little ones entertained.

“They’re coming round to fix things.”

Initially, we were concerned about what the house would look like. I was promised that the show room would be like my home and that we’d be able to go in prior to purchasing to measure for blinds, but we never got the opportunity in the end. There are some things which haven’t been up to standard, but Mark, the site manager, has been extremely useful when coming over to fix the drain. Rosco has also been a major help; he’s the repair person who has come to mend things for me.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because what we got for the price was fantastic.

I used to live near the beach, but now I have the countryside, and I love it.

“I never thought I would leave the place I was living before.”

Ballumbie Rise is peaceful. The site itself is elevated, so from upstairs I can enjoy nice views that span right across to Fife. As we’re situated right on a golf course it’s nice and green. I haven’t had to give up nice walks; now I can walk through the countryside, often without seeing anybody and surrounded by lovely views. My dog is very happy and I’m incredibly happy to not to have sand everywhere in my house like I used to. Although I have to drive to the shops I don’t mind. The lack of cars around means it’s quiet and relaxing.

“It’s really modern, but complementary to the surrounds.”

With a variety of styles, the houses sitting on the wide-open streets are beautiful. They are designed for modern living with their nice dining, kitchen and seating areas. Stewart Milne Homes have paid good attention to detail in their finishes and layouts, and to the layout of the development. Having a new build is just so much nicer than anything second-hand, and I was happy that it was also within my budget.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because they go the extra mile compared to other builders. You don't get lip service; they look after you.

“Dargavel Village II is a quality, upmarket development.”

“These are executive flats, and they look it.”

Our flat is modern and bright with the sunlight coming in from all the windows. We like that although it’s relatively small, it’s quite spacious and has a reasonable amount of storage space. The insulation keeps it warm which, these days, is very important. We can also enjoy the view overlooking the fields and trees from our elevated aspect.

“The building itself, along with the fixtures and fittings, looks to be of high quality.”

It’s generally been good. There haven’t been a lot of snags, just a few minor issues that needed to be resolved but none of them were substantial. Overall, we’re happy with their responsiveness to the snagging items.

The nice, green areas of Dargavel Village II make it stand out compared to others.

There are walking routes very close by for us to enjoy. We also have access to a small shopping centre and a railway line, both conveniently within walking distance.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because of the overall experience and the quality of the build.

“Stewart Milne Homes really look after you.”

“The process with Stewart Milne Homes has been excellent.”

Initially, we weren’t looking to buy a new build because we’d heard horror stories about them. We had no concerns about Stewart Milne Homes themselves, but our minds weren’t really put to rest until we spoke to the sales consultant. Everyone has been open and honest about delays; communication occurred as soon as they were discovered, and situations have been managed well.

“The care doesn’t stop once you move in.”

Being forgotten after moving in was something I wanted to avoid, but that doesn’t happen here. As we were one of the last plots to move in on the development, Sue, the head of the Customer Care department called us to say we should tell her if we had issues because she’ll get someone to fix them as soon as possible. No one makes you feel awkward when you address your issues; there’s no obstruction. It’s been a fantastic aftercare experience.

“When my kids are old enough, I won’t think twice about letting them go to the park alone.”

The Stables has a good vibe to it. My wife and I got a lovely feeling when we first came. Wildlife areas are widespread throughout; there’s one outside my kitchen window. The Stables is still a work in progress, but the play area is great, and the landscaping will look lovely when it’s finished. Having landscaping contributes to the feeling of privacy that’s here, as well as the fact the houses are spaced out. A lot of new builds feel hemmed in, but The Stables doesn’t. Over the road, there are a few established trees, which I like as they weren’t just chopped down for the sake of the houses. Listening to the trees and the birds here can have an incredibly positive impact on mental health too.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because the experience has been positive, and the staff are approachable, friendly and helpful. Sue got in touch to run us through the snagging and when people were coming to sort things. Having that connection with a senior member of the organisation makes you feel like you’re being taken seriously.

“Living in Bayley Croft, we can enjoy the wonderful views across the pond, towards the trees and to the farmers’ fields beyond.”

“A whole range of things make the experience with Stewart Milne Homes a good one”

I like the care that everyone here takes to make sure that everything goes smoothly. When we came to buy the plot, the saleslady, Michelle, knew exactly what we were looking for. She saw that this property was going on the market, so she contacted us to say that she believed the house was just what we wanted. This meant that we were able to get straight in there and reserve the plot.

“It has a great view, and it’s also nice and quiet”

This was important to us because we had both been used to having these views throughout our lives. Like this one, our last home of twenty-five years also had a view across the farmers’ fields and losing that would have been very sad for us. We are so happy that we didn’t have to give that up.
“Bayley Croft is not too big or too small, and it is close to amenities”

It’s a lovely development which is in a really nice location, close to Nantwich. The Nantwich town centre is lovely. We go there quite a bit, and it is really convenient if you want to get the train at Crewe. If we need to visit bigger shops, we’re only a short distance from Crewe, Chester or Stoke. There are a few golf courses around, where I can play a round or two. My wife also likes to use the local swimming pool for her aqua aerobics, so there’s something here for her too. The energy efficient homes are a bonus, especially with fuel costs going up and the home retains the heat, so we are kept nice and warm.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because the staff are nice, the quality of their workmanship is good and, if there are any problems, they sort them out. They take pride in producing very nice homes.

“Stewart Milne Homes build modern, new properties.”

“The quality of the apartments is outstanding.”

My property is south-facing and has a balcony I can access from the living room, which I can enjoy for most of the day in the summer season. I constantly take advantage of this feature. Dargavel Village is landscaped with trees and grass, and that makes the area feel very open plan. Convenience is key and it’s a nice place to walk around. The west end of Glasgow was where I called home previously, so it was a leap to move out to the countryside, but I can visit my daughter and family here. Dargavel Village is a building site right now, but it won’t be long until everything’s cleared; they’re starting to landscape around my apartment.

“There’s a great feel to the place.”

Sainsbury’s is within walking distance and Dargavel Village is very close to the railway station. It only takes twenty minutes to get to the centre of Glasgow from here; I briefly returned there yesterday. I don’t miss it as much as I thought I would; I’m getting quite used to being in Bishopton. Motorways are nearby as well, so Bishopton is very handy for travelling if needed.

“Stewart Milne Homes are there to answer any queries I may have.”

I’m so grateful to Rossana and Ashley as they helped me throughout the process and guided me towards Stewart Milne Homes; I’m glad I went with them. Months ago, Rossana demonstrated the show home and how high quality the décor and tiling was. Carpets and worktop finishing in my property was chosen by me. Normally, I’d find that process difficult, but Rossana assisted me; she spent three hours making sure I’d chosen everything I wanted for my apartment, which was extremely useful.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because of the quality of build, finish, location and friendliness of the Stewart Milne Homes sales staff and building foreman. They can’t do enough for you.

“Stewart Milne Homes cares about the people living in their houses.”

“Ballumbie Rise stands out from boring new builds because it looks different.”

I love it because it’s new and modern. The brickwork is a massive part of it. Rather than rows of white houses, the different colours make the houses look unique. The different layouts create interest and space, so the houses aren’t close together, and the green areas make it even better. It feels welcoming turning into the street by the sales office, and the trees and greenery frame the rest of the development. It’s well thought out, and that’s good.

“They’re great houses in a brilliant location, and at a great price.”

We have the smallest house type, yet our garden is twenty metres long. That’s massive for a new build and it will be so good for spending time with family in summer. Situated on a golf course and surrounded by countryside, it’s not noisy or busy here, and it’s still a convenient ten-minute journey to town.

“A lot of people say new builds have a lot of snags – we didn’t find that.”

The team is great. When we speak to the person in charge of the site, John, he sends the appropriate person to get things sorted quickly. The builders are nice and friendly, and they’re here within hours on the same day to fix things.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because the sales process is good and the houses are good quality.

We enjoy the peace and quiet of Bayley Croft.

“Our plot is tucked away, and we’re surrounded by countryside.”

We’re happy in our small, spacious development. The houses aren’t close together, so it’s nice and private, and it’s lovely having a lot of green space in the area to enjoy. When the attenuation area opens up, that will be a really nice feature that we’ll be able to walk to from our house. The location is handy for Nantwich and the town shops, and it’s convenient to be able to get the train for work. It’s far enough away so we don’t hear the noise of it, but it’s still handy to get to.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…. because of the process from beginning to end, and the updates from Michelle. From the build quality to the responsiveness of the staff, the whole thing has been great.

“The architect has designed a family home, not just a house of bricks and mortar.”

“Monarchs Rise has those finishing touches that none of the other new builds had.”

We love the way the sun pours into every room of our home. The floorplan is spacious with a welcoming flow throughout.

“It’s well laid out, and the houses are individual.”

The homes are well positioned - set out at slightly different angles so each area has a nice view and sunshine. The green areas are well maintained and inviting. The maintenance team responsible for the upkeep do very well. They’re very quick at mowing the lawns in the warmer seasons and they’ve already got the containers out with sand and salt ready for winter. We feel very well looked after.

"The team at Stewart Milne Homes made our move easy.”

We can’t speak more highly of Andrea’s exceptional customer service; she truly went above and beyond even coming in on our day off to make sure we had our keys. Now that we’re in, even though they’re working on the development, everyone is conscientious. They work as a team every step of the way, whether it’s doing the electrics, the plumbing, or even when they’re mono blocking the driveways. They take pride in their skills.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because we haven’t been disappointed. We've been so happy with everything.

“Ballumbie Rise is a very welcoming and quiet neighbourhood.”

Thinking about our future, it was the perfect choice.
Our house is a lot more spacious than we expected, and it’s even bigger in comparison to other new build developments. They’ve designed it to be family oriented, so we know as time goes on there will be room for our family to grow.

“Everyone is friendly, and I get a lot of help from the people onsite if I need it.”

John the Site Manager is very helpful. We can go to him for anything, and if he’s not around himself he’ll get someone else on the case. When we had a small issue with our unit, the joiners came and fixed it without bother.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because the experience we've had from start to finish has been nice, welcoming, and cosy.

“Stewart Milne Homes have been excellent throughout the process”.

“I didn’t have any concerns at all”.

When we researched them online, the reviews were positive and gave us the reassurance we needed to proceed with our purchase. The development, customer service and everything else makes me want to recommend Stewart Milne Homes.

“The house designs aren’t copy-and-pasted”.

All the houses have different features and brickwork, which is important to me as it means the development stands out from other housebuilders.
I love the neighbourhood.

They’ve chosen to build on beautiful surroundings. It’s on a huge patch of land with plenty of greenery, trees and views. Being on the outskirts in a massive field is great because it allows for a quieter way of life.

“The customer service has been fantastic”.

Since we completed on the property, Kirsty and Sian, from sales, and Scott, the service manager, have stopped in and checked to make sure we were okay. Any problems we’ve had have been fixed immediately; this tells us that we went for the right developer when we chose Stewart Milne Homes.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because they always check on you and have been really good. The sales representatives, Sian and Kirsty, have been great throughout.

“Palladian Gardens is quiet, well-spaced out, and has a nice community.”

“It’s not like other new build housing estates.”
Other developers squeeze a lot of houses onto their developments, but at Palladian Gardens there’s a lot of room between each house, and there aren’t many houses on the estate. It’s nice and peaceful, and we’re looking forward to the lovely little nature reserve they will be building at the back that we can walk to from our home. Our neighbours are all good people, so it’s an enjoyable place to live.

The location of Palladian Gardens is ideal.
The accessibility of the local area is great for us. I work in Manchester every day, so having the motorway two minutes away is convenient for my daily commute. The train station to Liverpool and Chester is a five-minute walk away too.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…. It was an easy process and I prefer the build to other companies.

Stewart Milne Homes has the best of both worlds.

“We wanted something with a rural setting that was equally close to amenities”.

Palladian Gardens is on the Wirral Way, which was a real plus for us as we can be tucked away in the countryside, whilst having a train station we can walk to that takes us to Chester or Liverpool. That’s amazing for fuel consumption. Our kids can also go up the Wirral Way on their bikes.

“Palladian Gardens is different to other new build developers”.

Houses here are spaced out well and there are lovely green areas. Other new builds cram houses together, but Stewart Milne Homes have made these more traditionally; they’re set back a bit, which gives the landscaping a more appealing feel. The presentation of the area is lovely.

“Stewart Milne Homes have good quality homes”.

Previously, we owned a new build from a different developer and it was so shoddy, it was unbelievable; Stewart Milnes Homes’ build quality is much better. My dad summed it up best by comparing the home to a car; my old home was a cheap car and this home is luxurious in comparison.
The community is blended well.

Our only concern was that different housing providers would have segregated areas. We thought that would create sub-groups and potentially cause issues, but everyone’s mixed in together and all of the people who’ve moved in are really nice.

“Staff members at Palladian Gardens are all really nice”.

They’ve been working hard to resolve our teething issues, whenever we’ve had them; we haven’t been ignored. The site manager in particular is extremely friendly, and everyone has great communication. We’re certain our issues will be resolved well.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…. because of the quality of the homes and the estate in general.

“Auchterarder is a beautiful place to live.”

“It’s beautiful to see the mix of styles and how everything is well spaced out.”

I love the design and finish of my lovely, little house. Rather than just having a row of similar houses, on my phase they’ve managed to create little pockets of terraced homes, lovely, landscaped areas and mews houses in the middle. They’ve given thought to how it’s all positioned, so every single house benefits from at least one beautiful view from a window. It’s a close walk into town, so it’s perfectly positioned, and the people who live here are friendly. For a brand-new development there’s already a sense of community.

“Stewart Milne Homes was willing to engage, discuss any issues I had and find solutions.”

Kathleen in the Sales Team paid a lot of attention to the people coming through the door searching for a new home. I was looking for a small property and she emailed me straightaway to say this home was coming back on the market, and to ask if I’d like to have a look. Later, I had concerns that it was on the edge of the development and there were some overgrown trees and bushes on the perimeter. At first, it was questionable whether they owned the land and whether it would be landscaped, but all of that was sorted out very quickly. They provided me with landscape drawings and shared their plans so I was very reassured. Even after moving in, the seven-day and twenty-eight-day snagging was followed up efficiently. The Site Team has been happy to help resolve any little issues that cropped up.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because I haven't had a bad experience. I have had some issues, but I’ve been in a new home before, so that's expected. The design is nice and it’s good quality overall.

Stewart Milne Homes has chosen a great location for Palladian Gardens.

I love how rural the area is.

Farmers’ fields surround us and I wanted to have that type of prettiness around. Going back to living in a town or city environment wasn’t ideal for me, but the surroundings here are just fields. It’s so quiet. We’re on the Wirral Way, which is a real selling point. The path goes right round the peninsula and through the villages on the Wirral.

It’s good having grass verges, not pavements.

Greenery around the roads makes the development look lovely. We’re also close to the train station and motorway network, which really helps with my commute. Palladian Gardens is also a fabulous dog-walking spot.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…. because of what you get for your money, as well as the fact you’re not living on top of each other due to the space around the houses.

“Our home will be very good for the long-term.”

“It’s been very carefully planned and designed.”
Stewart Milne Homes have given thought to the layout, what kind of appliances they put in, and even the positioning of the sockets. It all makes sense and is very versatile for the changes you would go through in life. I can see how, as our family grows, we can change the interior as they get older, and even after twenty to thirty years it will be the home we will be happy to retire in.
“Hunters Meadow is a really nice neighbourhood and the location is really good.”
We enjoy living in a quiet corner of our development. We’re surrounded by detached houses, so our neighbours are mostly in a similar situation as us; either expecting, having small children, or having young families. That makes it feel safe and friendly living here. Being on the outskirts of a town, everything is walkable, so we’re not far away from amenities and the local parks. The town is in a good catchment area as well, which is great for our family.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because everything was just easy. It's easy to buy from them and the houses are very good quality.

“Stewart Milne Homes fitted exactly into what we were looking for.”

We’re very happy with the area.
Dargavel Village is set in an amazing location, which we visited multiple times before putting our names down on the plot. Scotland isn’t our home country but, when we moved here, we knew we wanted to be in a more rural setting; that’s why we chose here. Transport links are good, yet it’s out of town and close to the country. The way of life we intended to have has been fulfilled by this area.

“It’s easy to get into the sticks”.
The hills can be seen out of our windows as we’re set back; we also have a view of some lovely duck ponds. Going on walks and removing myself from heavily developed areas is a passion of mine because it’s important to get fresh air, even if we need to be closer to a town as well. Less noise occurs at Dargavel Village as we’re separate from the motorway; it feels like a decent area.

Our concerns have been allayed.
Extra building around us was a worry of ours, but there was none. They are building not too far away from us, but we’re not affected by it. The home is in a little square and the house opposite us was due to be finished last, so we had reservations in how long it’d take, but it was resolved quickly. Also, during the process, we were told what the situation would be.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because, in the grand scheme of things, there have been no issues. Everything went really smoothly and I’m happy with how the build of the house looks. Nothing in the house feels cheap, which is good as we were concerned that things could feel that way. We also got good value for what we were paying.
