The 'Geddes 5' is a known four-bedroom detached house style for the site. All new build homes within the development are designed with a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, including the provision of PV solar panels as a standard feature, which can contribute to lower energy bills. The street design adheres to the Scottish Government’s Designing Streets principles, prioritising pedestrians and cyclists.
