Newington Development Takes Interior Design To New Heights
As well as unveiling the highly-anticipated Newington Residences Clocktower Apartments, Cala Homes has also launched the development’s first show home and show apartment within the prestigious development.
Located in the heart of Newington, less than three miles from the centre of Edinburgh, the impressive new development comprises a modern reimagining of the former Royal Blind School and its attractive grounds. This beautiful refurbishment includes 21 spacious apartments situated within the historic school building itself complemented by a mix of three, four and five bedroom townhouses, a mews home and fully refurbished gate house.
Following the sell-out success of the development’s initial release of townhouses, the first release of contemporary apartments, includes one-, two- and three-bedroom styles boasting ceiling heights of over three metres, generous windows with some apartments enjoying enviable views towards Edinburgh Castle and the city skyline.
Set within the attractive grounds of the former school building, Newington Residences offers sophisticated seclusion in the heart of Newington – one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after postcodes. Surrounded by mature trees, this development offers tranquil living on the edge of the city and has been brought to life with two outstanding show homes.
The three-bedroom Clocktower show home has been styled with the grandeur of the historic building in mind offering a dazzling blend of tradition and luxury living.
Spectacular 3.4m high ceilings make the three-bedroom apartment feel ultra-spacious and light-filled. A timelessly classic palette of whites, grey and black complement the interior and add a subtle nod to its past.
The impressive hallway adds another living space to this home offering space for a quiet reading corner and additional home office space. The main bedroom includes a convenient dressing area and luxurious en-suite, and the home is flooded with light from generously proportioned windows. There are also a further two bedrooms, one with en-suite enabling a flexible layout, with the option of using one of these bedrooms as an office instead.
Flooring from the main lounge through to the expansive hall and study is a vintage worn wood oak effect. Stunning lighting hints at the ceiling height available with a suspended asymmetric web chandelier creating a focal point in the kitchen and dining area.
The four-bedroom Anderson townhouse show home is the ultimate contemporary home, ideal for growing families in search of flexible family living.
On the ground floor, the family room creates a casual relaxing space for friends and family looking to escape their busy lives. With an open-plan kitchen and dining area designed for everyday living, the ground floor space offers a hub in which families can relax and catch-up. Access to the outdoor space beyond means the ground floor of the home quickly becomes the heart.
Designed by Eileen Kesson of Envision, the palette of the Anderson showcases soft earthy tones, mixed with accents of terracotta and pebble, which embody the modernity of the home and provides the perfect inspiration for potential buyers while reflecting the ambience from the surrounding grounds of the tree-lined development.
The first floor of the spacious family home features a contemporary living area which has been furnished using bespoke armchairs in a mix of ivory and graphite with French cording detail, creating a warm and inviting hideaway. Two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.
On the top floor, the magnificent principal bedroom is decorated in bolder tones to create a luxurious sanctuary. A velvet herringbone headboard layered with sumptuous velvet throws and contemporary lighting is offset with bronze and frosted glass – the perfect place to relax and unwind. An en-suite and additional bedroom are also positioned within the top floor.
Phillip Hogg, sales and marketing director for Cala Homes (East), says: “Newington Residences is a truly beautiful and unique development for Cala Homes (East) and one we are immensely proud of – our townhouses and apartments have been carefully designed to complement and enhance the historic setting and offer our customers the perfect example of contemporary living.
“The popularity of the initial release of townhouses has demonstrated the demand for this housetype in Edinburgh – it and we expect the interest in our apartments to be equally high.
“The range and quality of product available, as well as the outstanding location, make Newington Residences a popular choice and we are delighted to now be able to welcome people to experience these homes for themselves with the opening of our show homes.”
Current releases comprise a selection of the Clocktower Apartments from £315,000, with further townhouses next due for release later this year.
