It’s a great feeling owning something shiny and new. Although when it comes to a new home, building your own generally requires a lot of time and effort. For those seeking a property that they can move straight into, we’ve shared three new build homes that are sure to suit a wide range of tastes.

Plot 8, North Ythsie - £600,000

This exclusive development in North Ythsie features nine luxury family homes, each purposely built to the specifications of the owner. Plot 8, the final house to be built on this development, offers a fantastic opportunity for a family to make their mark on this stunning home.

Luxury is embedded throughout this property within the layout, unique features and finishings. On the ground floor the plans depict a welcoming open-plan living and kitchen area. There is a dedicated dining space and vaulted drawing room, with underfloor heating throughout this level.

Not only does the master bedroom come with an integrated dressing room and en-suite - another lucky resident will get to experience these benefits too, with the second bedroom also offering these features.

The finishings planned for this home are of the same high standard. In the drawing room, a wood burning stove with Chesney’s surround takes centre stage. Exquisite oak interior doors are fitted throughout. Integrated Siemens appliances and a wine cooler can be found in the German designer kitchen and the bathrooms are all fitted with high specification Duravit ware.

Although set in the heart of the countryside, this home is located just a 20-minute drive from Aberdeen and is close to top primary and secondary schools. This is the perfect all-round luxury family home - an opportunity not to be missed.

The Bothy, Banchory - £490,000

Designed by award-winning local architects, this stunning single story new build is truly unique.

This home is the ideal base for enjoying life in the country yet has easy access to all the amenities of Banchory, situated 1.5 miles away, including shops, restaurants and a variety of leisure facilities. With two golf courses and activities such as fishing, riding, hill walking and skiing available in Royal Deeside, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

The property boasts four-bedrooms and an open-plan layout. The living room, kitchen, dining and snug area benefit from a stunning 360-degree view of the garden.

Individual features such as a four-piece wet room with feature roll top bath and composite decking area make living in this house all the more enjoyable.

2 Cobbans Lane, Inverurie - £170,000

This new build ground floor flat has been perfectly designed with a practical layout and modern extras, including under floor heating, double glazing and solar panels.

Upon entering, there is a kitchen dining area to one side and separate lounge to the other, followed by a bathroom and two double bedrooms. The master bedroom comes with its own en-suite.

Although flats can be associated with being on the smaller side, this particular property is very roomy and has plenty of sought-after storage space with two walk-in cupboards and double wardrobes in both bedrooms.

Positioned just outside the town centre of Inverurie, this flat has easy access to all amenities and good commuter links to Aberdeen.
