“Initially, we were shown the floor plans and straight away we liked the look of the layout - it was a great size and seemed like exactly what we were looking for, but we needed to see it in the flesh. We travelled up to Aberdeen to see ‘The Tewel’ showhome at Kirkwood’s Countesswells development which was great in helping us visualise the space. It had been beautifully decorated and this helped us envision our family living in this home.
“We were particularly impressed by the high ceilings in the living room. We knew how rare these were in new builds so this was a major selling point for us - it made the house feel even more spacious and grand.
“Equally, we love our beautiful south-facing garden which gets the sun ALL day - it’s great for spending time outdoors, especially in the warmer months. Inside, it’s so open - the size of the rooms is great and in no way comparable to other housebuilders in the area. We viewed a couple of these and were very disappointed by the tiny rooms, cheap fixtures and lacking finishes.
“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.”
