Set within the Tayside region and fringing the city of Dundee, Broughty Ferry is a sought-after suburb - and a popular location for couples and families in search of their dream home.
At Kirkwood, we know there are a number of considerations to make when you’re searching for a new home - even after you’ve decided on your desired location. From the size of your ideal home and budget expectations, to the features on your new home wishlist and whether you want to buy a newbuild or pre-owned property.
To help you make your decision and find your dream home in Broughty Ferry, we’ve shared the top 4 benefits of buying a newbuild home within this superb location…
1. A blank canvas - with a fixed price
One of the top benefits of buying a newbuild home is that it offers a blank canvas to make your own. When you move in, your brand new home is ready to be lived in and enjoyed, with no need for costly and time consuming renovations that often come with older properties. This is what has already attracted a number of our customers to our Balgillo Heights development…
“We wanted a fresh start for our first home together so buying a new build made complete sense, and it was important that we found the perfect home to suit our blended family.”
“Throughout our house hunting journey, we viewed a large mix of properties but ultimately decided we were set on buying a new build and starting totally fresh.”
“We primarily viewed new build properties as our old house was 150 years old and ended up having a lot of age-related problems, so we wanted to find a home that would be reliable and wouldn’t face the same remedial problems as our previous home did.”
In addition, our range of luxury homes in Broughty Ferry are available at FIXED prices. As the Tayside property market remains fairly buoyant, it’s common to see homes sell well above the asking price, which causes added stress and expense. When you purchase one of our newbuild homes, you have peace of mind that there will be no bidding war to secure your dream home!
2. A convenient location and thriving city on your doorstep
Another key selling point of our newbuild homes in Broughty Ferry is the excellent connectivity this location has to offer, while enjoying lovely countryside surroundings. Just a five minute drive from our Balgillo Heights development is Broughty Ferry and its thriving high street - home to an array of independent shops and hospitality venues - with a nature reserve, beach and excellent schools also closeby.
This location has also grown in popularity as a result of heavy investment in the City of Dundee - just a 15 minute drive from our development. The city’s regenerated waterfront is a popular attraction among locals and tourists alike - featuring two nautical museums and the excellent V&A Art Gallery. Not to mention, the range of up and coming businesses and investment opportunities creates an attractive option for professionals and growing families.
Here’s what our customers have to say about this outstanding location…
“We knew that as time went on, it would only become more difficult to buy a house in The Ferry with a location that’s still so close to amenities and the school for our kids. All future developments will be further and further away, so Balgillo was perfect timing for us as a family - it was our chance to buy a quality new home to suit our needs, right where we needed it to be.”
“Living in Broughty Ferry is like having the best of both worlds and that’s what we love about it. With the Balgillo Heights development, we’re in close enough proximity to make the most of Broughty Ferry’s high street which is full of pubs, restaurants and local shops, but also enjoy a slower pace of life and the peace of the countryside - it’s such a convenient location and has something for everybody!”
3. Superior quality and specification
When you purchase one of our newbuild homes in Broughty Ferry, you're guaranteed a specification and quality of finish which is simply unrivalled. At Kirkwood, we pride ourselves on building luxury homes to the highest standard, setting us apart from other housebuilders.
Our homes also include a range of desirable features, all carefully designed to suit modern lifestyles. From an open-plan kitchen, dining and family areas, to sumptuous en-suites, handy home offices and stylish Mexicano oak veneered doors, a Kirkwood home ticks all the boxes of a new home wishlist, and often exceeds our customers’ expectations…
“In our new home, the finishes are top-notch! The internal doors are just lovely, we have glass doors in the living room and kitchen, with the rest being Kirkwood’s iconic full oak veneered doors - my favourite! Our kitchen has been finished to the highest standard, with soft closing cupboard doors, fantastic appliances and a really high spec throughout. We really don’t have a bad thing to say - everything has been perfect.”
“We were amazed at how spacious the rooms were for a newbuild home - particularly the kitchen and dining area to the rear of the house. We could immediately envisage hosting our loved ones, which is something we love to do. The French doors leading out to the garden sealed the deal for us!"
4. A peaceful location for family life
Finally, a newbuild home in Broughty Ferry is an excellent choice for couples and growing families searching for a safe and welcoming environment to settle down in. The area is home to a range of peaceful walking routes and easy access to endless countryside, allowing locals to truly enjoy the best of both worlds.
Now in its fifth and final phase, our Balgillo Heights development benefits from a close-knit community of residents to make you feel at home. It also enjoys lovely green spaces and a quiet location; offering parents peace of mind while their children play safely outdoors.
Here’s what our customers have said about the development…
“It's clear there is a strong sense of safety within the development as there are always people going about, whether that be with their dogs or kids. The community aspect of the development is also great, there’s a Facebook group for all the residents to keep up with any upcoming events or activities and stay in the loop of what's going on.”
“Balgillo has a really fresh, safe and relaxed feel about it. You can tell that it’s been thoughtfully laid out and there are great play parks for kids to play in and other grassy areas dotted around which are perfect for chilling out with the family.”
“It’s hard to pick just one thing! One aspect that has stood out to us is the tight-knit community feel around the development - we’ll often chat to other residents when we’re out for a walk and everybody is so friendly and approachable.”
