Cross the border and find your dream home

Persimmon Homes East Scotland prides itself on building enviable homes in sought-after locations, which is exactly what the company has achieved at its two Borders developments, Heath Grange in Chirnside and Hillcrest View in Hawick.

“Through extensive market research, we found the Borders really is the next big property hotspot,” comments Patsy McLaren, sales director for Persimmon Homes East Scotland. “With regeneration projects such as the brand new rail link to Edinburgh and Galashields, and continual inward investment into the area, househunters would be wise to buy before the prices start to reflect the demand being generated here.”

With amazing views of the surrounding areas it’s no wonder that househunters are wising up to buying at Persimmon’s picturesque sites, so much so that there are just a handful of homes left at both sites.

Heath Grange in Chirnside consists of a mix of just 49 two, three and four bedroom homes, in no less than nine differing styles. Demonstrating Persimmon’s commitment to making desirable homes affordable to all, the company has priced its last release of homes from just £149,950 for a three bedroom design.

Chirnside itself has become a highly desirable location with picturesque views of the Cheviot Hills, The Merse and the River Tweed as well as plenty of local amenities on its doorstep including a primary school, several reputable secondary schools, colleges, shopping and leisure facilities and the town of Berwick upon Tweed is merely ten miles away.

Hillcrest View in Hawick has become highly sought-after since its launch last year and includes a small selection of three, four and five bedroom homes in a range of ten differing housetypes, with bungalows and executive homes.

As the largest of the Scottish Border towns, Hawick offers a great deal to its residents including charming historic buildings, excellent schools, shopping and leisure facilities. Commuter links to neighbouring Newcastle is also a viable option for Hawick.

To make the buying and moving in process that much simpler, Persimmon is offering a unique incentive to assist with the financial constraints of purchasing a new home. The company is willing pay the Stamp Duty, carpet your new home and even landscape rear garden. Meaning the lucky purchasers can sit back and enjoy their brand new home and garden too.*

The HBOS last year ranked the Borders sixth in a list of the fastest rising prices across Scotland as the popularity of living in the area increases, the reason Patsy believes buyers are looking sooner rather than later. She concludes: “Our prices mean that the housetypes available are ideal for a variety of purchasers, from first time buyers to families. Combine this with the glorious location Borders countryside on its doorstep it is easy to see why it’s been pulling in the crowds.”
