“The Avenue”, part of the final phase at Ravelrig Heights offers buyers a choice of homes comprising two of the largest housetypes ever built by the developer in the region.

Now launched for reservation, buyers will benefit from five-bedroom homes reaching 3700 square feet (around four times an average home in Scotland), which includes self-contained accommodation above a large detached garage.

With current prices from £1,095,000 to £1,255,000, The Avenue properties include an exceptional specification as standard, including underfloor heating, private electric gated entrances, and large secluded gardens reaching up to 1/3 of an acre in size.

Located just eight miles from Edinburgh’s city centre, in picturesque Balerno, they offer easy access to Scotland’s capital, airport and surrounding countryside.

Philip Hogg, sales and marketing director for CALA Homes (East), said: “Constructed to the edge of our Balerno development, The Avenue ensures buyers plenty of privacy and rural views. They also feature extremely large plot sizes, not often found in the area.

“These homes really do represent the pinnacle of family living - they are aspirational homes that don’t compromise on space, grandeur or spec, while also offering buyers city convenience alongside secluded, rural surroundings.”

The Waverley house style allows for open plan family living alongside a study and large lounge overlooking an outdoor patio. A separate formal dining room gives options for entertaining, which separate studies and utility rooms provide sought-after practicality. The Waverley also features an opulent double staircase leading to the second floor, ensuring an impactful first impression.

The Roxburgh offers a similarly open plan interior, again featuring a separate dining room, study, family room/kitchen, utility room and a spacious lounge overlooking outdoor decking.

Both types include five upstairs double bedrooms, two with en-suites as well as a master bedroom with a large en-suite and dressing area.
