The best in the west

Expanding into the west coast of Scotland was always going to be the next step for housebuilder of distinction Charles Church, who has been successfully building and selling homes in the east of Scotland since 2004. The housebuilders’ first development in the west is in Kilmarnock, and later this year there will be developments launching in Lanark, Newton Mearns and Kilmaurs.

Charles Church’s first development in the west is Portland Gait, a stunning development offering just 43 luxury four and five bedroom family homes. Located in Kilmarnock – one of the most sought after areas in the west of Scotland – Portland Gait offers deluxe homes in an ideal location.

Traditional in design, Charles Church has been building homes for more than 40 years and has rightly earned a reputation for being the name on the finest homes. And the homes at Portland Gait are no exception. Each of the seven housetypes has been carefully designed to meet the needs of today’s discerning purchaser. The thoughtful layout of the homes at Portland Gait means the majority of homes have integrated garages, in most cases two bedrooms have the benefit of en-suite facilities and kitchens have an open-plan theme – all features which encourage flexible family living.

When it opens in May, The Langholm show home will give purchasers the opportunity to see for themselves the quality and finish of a Charles Church home. With five bedrooms over two storeys, The Langholm is the epitome of luxury. As well as a double integrated garage, the ground floor is home to a spacious and well designed kitchen, dining room, lounge and study. The first floor features a master suite with en-suite bathroom and a second bedroom also with en-suite facilities. There are three further bedrooms, which are served by a family bathroom.

The state-of-the-art kitchen offers under unit lighting as well as a stainless steel oven with gas hob and chimney style extractor hood, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. Through Charles Church’s Select scheme (subject to build stage) purchasers can choose to add ceramic floor tiling, granite worktops and to upgrade appliances and tiles. Bathrooms and en-suite facilities are equipped with white modern sanitaryware, chrome fittings and chrome heated towel rails.

With the show home due to open in May, and other developments in the west of Scotland launching later this year, 2008 is going to be the year for Charles Church Scotland. To find out more about the homes at Portland Gait, visit the development from Thursday to Monday between 11am and 5.30pm. Further details can also be found at charleschurch.com.
