Redrow to host 'open house' days in Kilwinning

What better way to put a spring in your step this Easter than to find your dream new home in Kilwinning just as the buds of recovery begin to appear for Scotland’s property market.

Redrow is hosting two ‘open house’ days, on Saturday and Sunday (April 3 and 4) at Whitehirst Grange, where the doors to a stylish selection of brand new homes will be thrown open to potential purchasers.

Among the high quality homes open for viewing is the desirable ‘Parrett’ show home. The four-bedroom design has been professionally furnished and decorated to achieve a real sense of a ‘home’ so visitors can envisage themselves living in the property.

With signs of recovery beginning to show in the Scottish property market - the value of property loans in the final quarter of last year were up 19% on figures for the same time in 2008, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders - now could be great time for buyers to take advantage of some very affordable, reduced prices at Whitehirst Grange.

Set in a semi-rural location amid some beautiful countryside, the three and four-bedroom homes are within easy reach of the centre of Kilwinning and also offer good commuter access to Glasgow, which is just 30 minutes away by train.

Mary McHutchison, sales manager for Redrow Homes (Scotland) said: “The ‘open house’ weekend is designed to give buyers a tangible idea of what it would be like to live here at Whitehirst Grange. They can look around a selection of houses and enjoy some light refreshments while they chat to our friendly and experienced sales consultants about the homes on offer and our tailored incentives designed to make moving house as seamless as possible.

“Prices are currently very affordable, and we have selected some properties for further reductions, so it’s a great time for buyers to invest in a new home and be in a position to take advantage of any future price rises.”

Mary added: “For those with an existing property to sell, we are giving buyers the opportunity to part-exchange. This effectively means we will act as a cash buyer for a customer’s old home, removing the problem of finding a buyer or the risk of getting stuck in a potentially long and complicated housing chain. If part-exchange is not for you, we can discuss other ways we may be able to help.”

Property prices at Whitehirst Grange start from £135,000 for a three-bedroom ‘Fairwood’ and rise to £212,000 for a four-bedroom detached ‘Roadford’.

All homes feature Redrow’s latest interior specification, with an emphasis on convivial open-plan living spaces, contemporary kitchens with floor to ceiling units and top brand name appliances, plus modern white bathroom suites with quality fixtures and fittings.

“With good primary and secondary schools nearby, Whitehirst Grange is an ideal place to raise a family,” Mary added.

“It’s also great for commuters thanks to a regular rail service from Kilwinning and improvements to the M77, which have boosted the town’s access to and from Glasgow. Towns like Ayr, Irvine and Kilmarnock are also easily reached.”
