£10,000 discount at refurbished Newmachar apartments

Househunters are currently being offered discounts of £10,000 on selected two-bedroom refurbished flats at Gladedale (North East Scotland) Ltd's stylish Queen's Gate Apartments development at Newmachar, Aberdeenshire.

Built on the site of the former Kingseat Hospital, overlooking the village, the apartments offer a touch of both luxury and history in a quiet countryside setting. The generous £10,000 discount is being offered on several of the spacious two-bedroom apartments, which currently start at £195,995 (plot 126). And as an added bonus, some of the other flats are being sold through Gladedale's new shared equity scheme - which means purchasers pay just 75% of the cost, bringing the cost down to a start price of less than £150,000.

A second phase of apartments was recently launched and the latest block will be ready for buyers to move straight into this summer. The original structure of the old hospital buildings has been retained, creating individual flats with Gladedale's top specification finish but their own unique character. Inside, the interiors have been completely renovated, as can be seen in the stunning show flat, which boasts a spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area.

The flat comes complete with French doors and large sash and case windows, which flood the space with light and overlook rolling fields. The master bedroom has an ensuite shower room with a 1 ½ sized shower. There is also a second bedroom and a separate bathroom. There are built-in wardrobes in the two bedrooms. Each of the flats also comes with an allocated parking space, set in wooded and landscaped surroundings.

Queen's Gate Apartments offer modern living in a quiet retreat, yet just a few miles from Aberdeen's city centre and the airport, and the village of Newmachar - and its shops and pubs - on your doorstep. The surrounding countryside offers plenty of space for walking and cycling at weekends or evenings.

The community shares a site with Gladedale's Queen's Gate development of large family homes, where discounts of £10,000 are also being offered on selected plots.

Tracy Marnoch, Sales and Marketing Manager at Gladedale (North East Scotland) Ltd, said: "The £10,000 discounts and chance to purchase under shared equity make now an ideal time to buy at Queen's Gate. These sales incentives are limited offers so they won't be available forever.

"These apartments are our first refurbishment project and we are pleased to have created such a unique range of flats, which are all spacious and modern but each one is different. They are ideal for professionals but also for people who may be looking to downsize and move somewhere peaceful yet convenient."

The shared equity scheme allows buyers to pay just 75% of the price of their brand new home, while owning 100% of the property. The outstanding 25% becomes an interest-free loan which is required to be repaid on the sale of the property or after 10 years.
There are a number of conditions - buyers can only buy one property under Shared Equity and no buy-to-let sales are allowed - but in most cases buyers won't even need a deposit.
