David Wilson @ Countesswells

Development Overview

David Wilson @ Countesswells is a specific development of new build homes by David Wilson Homes, situated in the master-planned community of Countesswells, approximately four miles west of Aberdeen city centre (AB15 8FZ). The development forms part of the wider Countesswells project, which is designed to integrate housing with new amenities and green space.

David Wilson Homes is a highly-regarded UK housebuilder, having achieved a 5-star rating in the Home Builders Federation (HBF) National New Home Customer Satisfaction Survey every year since 2010. The company, which is part of Barratt Developments PLC, has a track record of winning numerous quality awards.

Currently, the development is offering a limited number of the final phase of properties, primarily consisting of executive 4-bedroom detached houses.

Property Details

Properties available at David Wilson @ Countesswells are generally 4-bedroom detached house types, with the developer noting the overall site features both 3 and 4-bedroom designs focused on energy efficiency and modern family life. Specific house styles recently available include the four-bedroom ‘Glenbervie’ and the four-bedroom ‘Colville’ detached homes.

Typical specifications of the larger house types include premium features designed for functional living. For example, some floorplans detail a spacious front lounge, a dining room, and a large, open-plan kitchen with a dedicated breakfast and family area, featuring French doors opening to the rear garden. The ground floor may also include a utility room and convenient access to an integral double garage. Upstairs, main bedrooms are often designed as elegant suites, sometimes including a Juliet balcony and a private en-suite bathroom.

Location and Infrastructure

The development’s location in Countesswells positions it approximately four miles from the commercial centre of Aberdeen, providing a balance of country-like surroundings with urban accessibility. The proximity to the city’s major road network, including connections to the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR), facilitates travel across the wider region.

Public transport is part of the wider Countesswells masterplan, with a proposed bus route linking to the Kingswells Park and Ride, which runs frequent, high-speed services (e.g., X17) directly to Union Square and the city centre. Aberdeen’s main railway station provides national rail links.

Local amenities are developing alongside the residential phase. The immediate vicinity benefits from the operational Countesswells School, which caters to pupils from Nursery to Primary 7 (AB15 8NF). The long-term vision for the area includes the delivery of a new local shop and future facilities to serve the community.
