Show home opens at Rowanbank Gardens in Edinburgh
Described as a “spectacular blueprint for low-carbon living”, Rowanbank Gardens will deliver 93 apartments for private sale set around a large garden space filled with fruit trees and planting beds.
Work began on the development in summer 2021, with the first move-ins expected later on this summer.
And while developer Artisan Real Estate has been hitting the headlines and winning awards for the impeccable environmental credentials of the new development, the showhome launch provides the perfect platform to also highlight the internal quality of the apartments.
Designed by renowned Scottish interior designer Carol Yates, the striking two-bedroom apartment brings Rowanbank Gardens to life, mixing contemporary style with vibrant colours, soft furnishings and eye-catching furniture.
“What first hit me about the showhome was the sheer amount of space I had to play with,” explains Carol. “High ceilings, coupled with floor-to-ceiling windows, allows an abundance of natural light to flood the living areas. The open-plan kitchen and lounge space have a nice balance, allowing me to experiment with larger items of furniture, art and soft furnishings.
“Scandi influences with a soft pastel colour palette combine with the solid oak flooring to bring a simple, naturaltexture to the rooms. And while it is a minimalist layout, accents of colour and vibrancy have been introduced with soft fabrics and cushions to bring depth, warmth and intimacy.”
With a prominent location in Edinburgh’s Corstorphine, Rowanbank Gardens has proved to be a popular option for first-time buyers and downsizers wanting to live in well-connected, vibrant community just minutes from the city centre.
More than a third of all apartments have already been snapped up by savvy buyers, impressed by the combination of high-quality living, immaculate environmental credentials and central location.
“We are definitely going for the ‘wow factor’ with the launch of our new showhome,” adds Artisan’s regional sales manager, Christie Turner.“Visitors will be impressed by the light and airy living spaces, as well as the natural oak flooring and fittings in the kitchen and bathroom, all of which come as standard.
“But there is also the added advantage of experiencing Rowanbank Garden’s commitment to achieving zero-carbon, low-cost living. It’s one of the first large developments in Scotland to employ individual air source heat pumps in all apartments, providing both heating and domestic hot water.
“So, as well as experiencing an extremely high quality of life at Rowanbank Gardens, home owners can also save money as well as the environment. Energy costs have been predicted to cost up to 60 per cent less than other new-build apartments in the surrounding area, with research showing that average annual hot water and space heating costs for a two-bedroom apartment could be as low as £775 per year, or less than £65 per month*.”
Prices for a one-bedroom apartment at Rowanbank Gardens start from £245,000, with a two-bedroom from £325,000 and a three-bedroom from £422,500.To book an appointment at the Rowanbank Gardens showhome, visit the development website at www.rowanbankgardens.com or call 0131-516 3302.
