subject: Taylor Wimpey's Edinburgh Portfolio Offers Something For Every Buyer [print this page] House-hunters looking for a new home in Edinburgh or the surrounding area are spoilt for choice with Taylor Wimpey's current portfolio for the south east of Scotland, offering a variety of urban and rural developments all within commuting distance of the city.
Just a few miles from central Edinburgh, Pinkhill Corstorphine is tucked away in a leafy spot near Edinburgh Zoo, yet within easy reach of the city centre. This collection of contemporary one-, two- and three-bedroom flats and exclusive three-bedroom penthouse apartments is located in the desirable district of Corstorphine. Appealing to first-time buyers, professionals and downsizers, the development is close to Gyle Shopping Centre and leading business park, Edinburgh Park. The Easystart shared equity scheme can help first-time buyers secure 100% of their new home for just 85% of the price now. Buyers have ten years to repay the outstanding amount at market value, and can settle the loan either at the end of the ten-year period or any point before, by selling or by extending the mortgage. Buyers with an existing house to sell could look at Part Exchange or Easymover, a scheme providing free estate agency services and a specialist removal service to smooth your move.
About 11 miles south of Edinburgh in the quiet town of Bonnyrigg, Hopefield Grange offers a selection of spacious two-, three- and four-bedroom family homes and a collection of two-bedroom apartments, priced from 175,000 to 295,000. Nearby, Hopefield Meadows has a choice of new two-, three- and four-bedroom homes in a slightly lower price bracket, from 124,750 up to 235,250. Both sites are ideal for first-time buyers and growing families because they offer the Easystart, Easymover and Part Exchange schemes. Bonnyrigg is a great choice for those who prefer to live somewhere quiet, yet within easy striking distance of Edinburgh for work or leisure. There are also schools for all ages nearby, and frequent bus services between both developments and Edinburgh city centre.
In Gorebridge, 13 miles from Edinburgh, Arniston Vale is surrounded by attractive countryside yet is close to Edinburgh City bypass, making it an ideal base for commuters to the capital or destinations across the region. These three- to five-bedroom homes will suit families of most sizes and range in price from 199,995 to 272,750.
Within a 20-mile radius
About 19 miles from Edinburgh, Taylor Wimpey also has a number of new developments in historic Dunfermline. Fordell Lea, on the outskirts, is made up of 135 contemporary homes aimed at first-time buyers and families, priced from 108,250 to 200,250. Pilmuir Place presents 48 two- and three-bedroom contemporary apartments from 104,750 to 122,250, aimed at first-time buyers and young professionals; and Duloch Grange is situated in a pleasant new residential area of town, with three- to five-bedroom homes priced from 184,750 to 269,250, aimed at young and growing families.
