“Calderwood II is a very friendly, beautiful area that caters for everything we’re looking for at this stage of our lives.”
“We didn’t want to live in a busy, built up area.”
We did have concerns about what it would be like moving out of the city and into a smaller, rural community, but with such good access to Edinburgh, either driving, or going by bus or train, commuting is easy. We can get away from the city and enjoy more relaxing time with the family. In fact, we barely go into the city anymore.
“We’re in a beautiful setting, right next to the country park.”
It was a big selling point for us when we viewed the house and had a walk through the park. They’ve opened up a lot of pathways from the development to go into it, so it’s great to get out and about with the family. They’ve also planned for a gym and a gastropub in the future, so there will be a lot to do.
“We have two young kids and it’s the perfect environment for raising children.”
We wanted to move somewhere with a lot of people who, like us, were also raising families. Stewart Milne Homes has worked very hard to create a nice, friendly community. They’ve had planning permission to build a school, and we have access to a little community garden where kids learn to grow vegetables. There’s also a café right in the heart of the development, a children’s park right around the corner. They’ve provided a large, green area where the kids can play football. They can safely play outside because the whole estate is designed with cul-de-sacs and narrow, winding streets so cars can’t race around them. The way it’s done, even the fencing in the gardens encourages you to speak to your neighbours, so it’s a very social place to live.
I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...because the experience I’ve had with the sales team has been good, and the standard of the house is nice.
