Impressive family living at The Scholars in Kippielaw, near Dalkeith.

Taylor Wimpey East Scotland has opened a further new development in Kippielaw adding a selection of luxurious four bedroom detached family homes and two bedroom apartments at The Scholars. Visitors to this development can enjoy a new interactive experience that allows them to see the interior and exterior of every house style available on the development, as well as the entire development street landscape through the use of the latest Quickime virtual reality technology.

This latest technological development allows purchasers to buy not only from plan but from a virtual development on screen – never needing to leave the comfort of the sales office. It allows them to know what their house will look like and where it will be situated within the overall development at the simple click of a button!

Enjoying a location that’s on the outskirts of Dalkeith with stunning views this new development is situated on the former school grounds of St David’s Primary School, and complements the recent Scholar’s Green opened there earlier this year.

Kippielaw is located on the south-east boundary of Dalkeith, and a short walk will take you into its bustling centre. As the centre of Midlothian, Dalkeith has strong links with Edinburgh, but has its own place in history with a wealth of places of architectural and historic interest. The beauty of the Pentland Hills is within easy reach of the development and a good range of local amenities and shops, plus an excellent choice of local primary and secondary education make it a popular choice for families.

Set around its own extensive central village green and play area, there is plenty of space to enjoy every day life at The Scholars. There are eight styles of four bedroom detached homes to choose from - each one traditionally built to Taylor Wimpey's exceptionally high standards plus a choice of two bedroom apartments.

As well as impressive kerb appeal, the range of homes at The Scholars offer a contemporary fully-fitted kitchen, an impressive master bedroom with ensuite, and practical features such as well-proportioned bedrooms, a downstairs WC, a spacious hallway, as well as generous front and rear gardens as standard.

Plus, many of these magnificent homes also boast features like an ensuite in bedroom 2, or perhaps a study room, a family room or a utility room to maximise your living space. Some plots also have a spacious garden room that means you can enjoy the views of your garden from the comfort of your new home! The range of apartments will add to the overall style and choice available at The Scholars.

Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland adds: “The Scholars is an exciting new place to call home within a short commute of Edinburgh. And it’s a real opportunity for families to maximise their budget and perhaps secure a larger property than they might be able to afford within the city boundary.

“The launch of our Quicktime virtual reality interactive experience is the best yet of a view into the future of what a customer’s house and overall development will look like. This isn’t just a series of CGI’s – our technology simply projects into the future and maps what our finished development will look like.

“Customers will be able to investigate every single plot and every single type of home just at the touch of a button, and they’ll be able to see exactly where their home will sit compared to others.”

Four bedroom detached homes range from £310,000 for the Maplewood and from £375,000 for the Sycamore. For more information visit the sales information centre, situated just off Lauder Road. Opening hours are Thursday to Monday from 10.00am-5.30pm. Or visit taylorwimpey.co.uk and book an appointment via the online service.
