The first homes available to the open market by R3, a joint initiative between George Wimpey East Scotland Ltd and Cruden Homes (East) Ltd, at its Stirling Bridge development in the heart of the vibrant regeneration area of Raploch in Stirling have gone on sale.

The release of the first three bedroom semi detached homes follows a hugely successful period of ‘Priority Purchase' aimed at current local residents and first-time buyers. These new homes are literally being snapped up ‘off-plan' as soon as they become available in a display of confidence in the area.

This phase by George Wimpey at Stirling Bridge offers an extensive choice of contemporary one and two bedroom apartments, a selection of two and three bedroom semi detached homes, as well as four bedroom townhouses. And our homes have been designed specifically for this landmark Scottish regeneration project, offering practical and modern homes that are perfect for today's busy lifestyle.

The two hot properties just released on the open market are the three bedroom semi detached Friarton - a great home for first-time buyers or young families looking for their first step on to the property ladder with prices starting from just £154,000. With its modern fully-fitted kitchen and space for informal family dining, plus a spacious living room and downstairs WC/cloak - this house is packed full of features to make every day life straightforward. Upstairs, as well as the family bathroom, there's plenty of space for everyone with two well-proportioned double rooms, and a single room which is perfect as a home/office space or a nursery.

The homes available to the open market from Cruden are two delightful semi-detached properties (plots 34 and 35). Both three bedroom homes, each comprises on the ground floor of a well-planned lounge, family dining kitchen, complete with oven, hob and cooker-hood and WC/cloakroom.

Stirling Bridge with its' spectacular views to Stirling Castle, proximity to Stirling town-centre and easy access to M80, offers first-time buyers a great location to call home as Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for George Wimpey East Scotland explains: "Stirling Bridge is a landmark development in the overall regeneration of Raploch, and offers an excellent chance for first-time buyers to step onto the property ladder.

"With apartment prices starting from around £100,000, three bedroom semi detached Friarton homes starting from £154,000, this is the perfect opportunity to consider taking that all-important step onto the property ladder."

Hazel Davies, sales and marketing manager, Cruden Homes (East) Ltd, comments: "The initial release of properties at Stirling Bridge has been a resounding success and we anticipate that the first selection of homes on to the open market will receive the same level of interest from buyers."
