Property Details

Each new build home at Burnland Meadows is designed for modern family living, featuring a high standard of specification included as standard. This includes integrated kitchen appliances, built-in wardrobes in bedrooms, and flooring throughout the property. Gardens are turfed and feature gated access. The development's signature Macrae showhome, a five-bedroom detached house, provides a clear example of the standard layout, featuring a separate lounge with bi-fold doors to a patio, a dedicated dining room, a study, a utility room, and a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, also with bi-fold access to the rear garden. Demonstrating an emphasis on ecological sustainability, the properties incorporate features such as hedgehog highways connecting gardens, nesting spaces for swifts, insect shelters, and solar-powered nest boxes. The design also focuses on energy efficiency to deliver lower running costs than older properties.

Location and Connectivity

Burnland Meadows benefits from a semi-rural location while maintaining excellent connectivity to essential services and transport links. The development is close to the AWPR (Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route), facilitating rapid travel south and north of the city. Aberdeen city centre is approximately a 30-minute drive away. Public transport is accessible via the nearby Stagecoach Route 6 and X17 bus services, which provide regular connections between Elrick/Westhill and Aberdeen Union Square. Specific local amenities include the Westhill Shopping Centre, which hosts a Marks & Spencer and a Tesco store, as well as Westhill Swimming Pool and various coffee shops and gyms. Local dining options include the newly refurbished family-run Broadstraik Inn and The Shepherds Rest Pub Restaurant. The development is situated in a sought-after area for families, with Elrick Primary School and Westhill Academy among the highly regarded schools located nearby. Residents can also take advantage of the local area's natural assets, with access to the Whitehill Walking Trail, woodland trails, and countryside walks toward Skene.

Practical Information

Pricing begins from £440,000, but prospective buyers should contact the developer for current plot-specific prices and availability. Part Exchange and LBTT (Land and Buildings Transaction Tax) contribution incentives may be available on selected plots, details of which must be confirmed with the sales consultant.
