This is not suburbia transplanted to the countryside. Here, the renowned Scottish architect James Denholm has designed a collection of the highest quality, traditionally styled country homes. They will have natural slate roofs, wet dash render, spacious rooms with high ceilings, galleried reception halls and large farmhouse kitchens which can come complete with Aga cookers. Building only around 42 new homes on nearly 60 acres, with details such as grass verges rather than pavements we will create a development which is truly rural in character.
The specifications of Stephen Country Homes & James Denholm require the highest standards in both materials and craftsmanship. Clathymore will become a most prestigious address.
The Herald Property Awards for Scotland 2011
Stephen Country Homes has secured a prestigious Commendation at The Herald Property Awards for Scotland 2011.
The Perth-based house-builders impressed the esteemed panel of judges with their new show home at Clathymore, by Gleneagles, which was officially awarded a Commendation for ‘Best Luxury Show Home’ (for properties over 1800 sq ft).
Set amongst some of the most striking countryside in Scotland, the development of four and five bedroom homes enjoys an unrivalled location. The unique homes have been expertly designed by renowned Scottish architect James Denholm whose skill and expertise has shaped the epitome of sumptuous and impressive living.
These homes are superior in both design and construction, showcasing beautiful time-honoured Scots architectural traditions, with an emphasis on wood, local stone finishes, wet dash render and natural slate roofs. The interior layout takes spaciousness to a new level, providing a sensational collection of rooms, galleries and reception halls, not to mention smart technology and large farmhouse kitchens.
The show home itself, plot 32, is a four bedroom cottage style home with a large integrated double garage sitting on a 0.71 acre plot.
The prestigious awards ceremony, held in association with Registers of Scotland, took place at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow on Thursday 15 September 2011, where more than 300 property professionals and guests gathered for the prize-giving.
Welcoming the accolade, John Stephen, Managing Director of Stephen Country Homes commented, “The show home provides a superb example of both the design and quality Stephen Country Homes can offer in this unique setting. We are extremely proud and delighted to secure this prestigious Commendation which not only highlights our contribution to house-building nationally but which recognises the outstanding quality which underpins our homes.”
By building only 42 homes on nearly 60 acres, the result is a development which is wholly rural in character. Indeed, each property boasts its own generous garden, some up to an acre and a half in size, divided by generous planting of indigenous trees.
As well as joining what is now an established community, the exquisite development provides buyers with one of Perthshire’s most prestigious addresses. Secluded, yet less than five minutes from the A9, both Gleneagles and Perth are just minutes away, while Edinburgh and Glasgow, with their international airports, are within easy reach in less than an hour. With such a stunning rural environment on their doorstep, buyers benefit from close access to a host of outdoor activities, woodland walks, a multitude of varied wildlife, delightful scenery and a slower pace of life.
