Homehunters head to historic Prestonpans

The historic East Lothian town of Prestonpans has become a homehunter’s paradise with the launch of Redrow’s latest venture. In 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie, claimant to the throne of Scotland, came with his Jacobite army and soundly defeated the government army at Prestonpans. Now it’s would-be home owners who are hoping to claim a victory of their own.

The Potteries, which will eventually comprise a wide range of luxury homes, is already attracting a lot of attention.

Diana Newton, sales director for Redrow Homes (Scotland), says: “The Potteries is set on the outskirts of this popular town but within 15 minutes of the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh city centre.”

“It really is in the ideal location and there has already been a lot of interest. The apartments in particular have had a great response from people and we have had homehunters from Edinburgh looking to secure property just outside of the city.”

The development will eventually showcase 75 new homes including a range of two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom terraced properties, three-bedroom townhouses and four bedroom homes.

Available properties include two-bedroom apartments priced from £135,995, three-bedroom terraced houses priced from £169,995, the three-bedroom Lambourne, from £194,000, which has its living space cleverly arranged over three floors, four-bedroom detached homes from £242,995 and striking three-storey townhouses from £202,995.

All properties feature an en-suite as well as a main bathroom and comprise fully-fitted kitchens complete with stainless steel oven, hob and extractor fan.

The Potteries is close to the coast and beautiful beaches, yet within easy reach of the cultural city of Edinburgh and the famous Royal Mile, making it ideal for commuters looking for a better quality of life.

Prestonpans offers a range of local amenities and has excellent road connections. The local railway station, offering regular services to Edinburgh Waverley, is less than half a mile away from The Potteries.

There are also fabulous golf courses nearby and the famous Musselburgh Race Course is under a mile away.
