Home of the Day – The ‘Kingarth’, Cruden Homes

The WhatHouse? team reports on our current favourite new build home for sale – today, it’s the ‘Kingarth’, which Cruden Homes is offering at Abbey Gardens in the East Lothian town of Musselburgh.

Enjoying a peaceful setting in Old Craighall on the outskirts of the town, yet within easy reach of Edinburgh city centre only seven miles away, Abbey Gardens has attracted families, couples and young professionals.

With an irresistible mix of pleasant countryside, over 40 miles of glorious coastline and some of the world’s finest golf courses, East Lothian remains one of the most appealing locations in Scotland to buy a new home, especially in this era of remote and home working where there is no longer the need to be in the city.

In fact, one of the homes on offer at Abbey Gardens, the ‘Kingarth’, offers the perfect solution for those working from home. The three-storey property offers flexibility and functionality making it easier to create distinct home and work zones. With entertaining areas on the ground floor, relaxing bedroom spaces on the first floor, and a large office space at the top of the house, there is enough distance to achieve the perfect work life balance.

Although the room in the roof can offer a variety of uses and can adapt as families grow. Some choose to use this space as a master bedroom suite as it has its own en suite shower room and offers a peaceful retreat at the top of the house. Alternatively, it offers children and teenagers their own space and privacy, so no more fighting over the bathroom in the mornings. Others may choose to use this a guest suite, offering visitors some privacy when they stay over.

The spacious top floor could also be used as a home gym, a cinema room or a playroom. The ‘Kingarth’ style home does offer great flexibility and the ability to adapt to suit changing needs.

The layout of the three-storey home features a generous lounge, and a well-equipped open-plan kitchen dining room offering direct access to the garden, and a practical utility room and downstairs wc on the ground floor. The first floor offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom with the top floor featuring the spacious flexible use room with its own en suite shower room. The home also offers plenty of storage with space on each floor.

‘Roxburgh’ style show home at Abbey Gardens

Hazel Davies, sales and marketing director of Cruden Homes (East), said: “This particular house type offers fantastic space that can work flexibly to suit changing needs, which we’ve witnessed this year as our homes became both school and work. The need for outdoor space has also become a priority for families and the ideal location in beautiful East Lothian has so much to offer, with the city a short distance away. We expect the Kingarth style homes to be in demand and would encourage anyone who is interested in purchasing a brand new home at this popular site to contact us right away.”

All properties at Abbey Gardens feature a great specification, including contemporary kitchens complete with four-burner gas hob and hood and integrated fridge-freezer and dishwasher as standard.

The homes will be ready to move in to from early 2021 and Cruden Homes is also offering buyers the option to take advantage of their popular Part Exchange and Assisted Move initiatives. 

Prospective buyers can pre-book a visit to the Abbey Gardens ‘Roxburgh’ style show home.
