When husband and wife, Calum and Alice Brown, first laid eyes on the three-bedroom Pentland house type at Gilbertfield Woods, Cambuslang, they knew that they had found ‘the one.’
With two Pugs and a baby on the way, the couple were in desperate need of more space after renting a one-bedroom flat in Blantyre for six and a half years. After looking for a new house for several years, they thought they didn’t have the necessary capital. Then they stumbled across the Gilbertfield Woods development while on a walk and loved the look of the new-build homes.
“We hadn’t appreciated all of the benefits of buying new and we urge anyone who is looking to purchase a property to highly consider a modern property.”
“We instantly loved the style of the homes at the Gilbertfield Woods,” said Calum said. “They looked nothing like your run-of-the-mill modern properties.
“We hadn’t appreciated all of the benefits of buying new and we urge anyone who is looking to purchase a property to highly consider a modern property.”
“I initially didn’t like the thought of purchasing a new-build. However, the sales team they made us feel completely at ease. We were invited to view the show home and the quality, care and attention-to-detail was evident throughout. We were utterly sold.
“The Dundas staff ensured that the buying process was painless. They weren’t pushy and they were completely focused on us and our needs. We were so excited when we received the keys and we adore our new home from the moment we moved in.
“The semi-detached Pentland was the first of its house-type completed on the development and when we saw it, we knew it was meant to be. It is open plan, airy, spacious and as it is south-facing, it gets the morning sun. As a car lover, I am also chuffed that we have a garage – I can see it becoming my safe space!
“These homes are really energy efficient and the integrated solar panels mean that we’ll save on extortionate heating bills. We hadn’t appreciated all of the benefits of buying new and we urge anyone who is looking to purchase a property to highly consider a modern property.
“We love the location. It really is our dream house in the country, while still being a stone’s throw away from bustling city life. The development is just off the main road, yet is set in beautiful scenic surroundings, outlooking farms and fields, and it is close enough to my parent’s house in Blantyre. It’s a great, quiet, family area. All of the neighbours are lovely. We have similar interests and everyone is very approachable.
“In our one-bed flat, we could never have any guests, but now, we are planning to turn one of our bedrooms at the house into a guest room, which will be perfect for when Alice’s parents – who live in Portsmouth – come for a visit.
“The third and final bedroom will become the nursery – we can’t wait to welcome the first new-born to Gilbertfield Woods and are delighted that we will be raising them in our happy household. We are certainly home birds – we already feel settled and we are positive that we will be here for the long-run. I can see us retiring in this home.”
