Double Delight as Stewart Milne Homes Unveils New Showhomes in Dunblane

Online, February 3, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Stewart Milne Homes has opened the doors to the latest showhomes at Highfields View in Dunblane; a stunning four-bedroom townhouse and a beautiful five-bedroom detached villa.

The Southbrook style detached villa is finished with a soft, neutral decor which is brought to life with splashes of warm colour, bold patterns and rich textures throughout each room. Meanwhile, the Dunblane style townhouse presents fresh, elegantly simple interiors over its three floors, expertly showcasing the property's features of light and space.

The most impressive feature of the Southbrook villa lies at the heart of the home: an expansive open plan breakfasting kitchen with adjoining family area and French doors leading to the rear garden. A creamy façade of high gloss units is teamed with a rich, walnut coloured work surface and down-lighting alongside contrasting chrome fixtures and splashes of black and plum to create a warm, traditional environment with a contemporary twist.

The family area is styled to distinguish the space from the kitchen and promote a sense of comfort and relaxation. An ornate floral feature wall is used with boldly patterned floor length curtains to lift the neutral tones of the sofas and carpet, injecting shades of lavender and putty. The kitchen also leads through to a separate dining room with French doors, ideal for formal occasions and entertaining friends.

At the front of the villa, the living room presents a grand space with a paisley feature wall in ivory and pewter, sumptuous flocked furnishings and bold pieces of mirrored and glassware. Double doors through to the dining room offer the option to enjoy a dual aspect space with floods of daylight from the large living room windows and opposite French doors.

In the Dunblane townhouse, the living room is situated on the first floor with a private balcony and elevated views across the landscape. The exceptionally large space boasts bright fresh interiors with flashes of claret and aubergine, perfect for the whole family to relax and spend time.

Across the landing, the open plan dining kitchen continues the decor theme with a combination of eggshell, fawn and wheat shades throughout. The red mahogany dining set creates a striking centrepiece and warms the space with its rich, autumnal colouring. Set beside the French door to the terrace, the dining area looks out across the cul de sac to the views beyond.

All Highfields View custom designed kitchens come complete with the latest in modern appliances to offer convenience with style. Both showhomes enjoy integrated stainless steel oven, hob, extractor hood and microwave, plus fully fitted fridge and freezer, all carefully selected to complement the room's elegant design. Each style also incorporates a separate utility room; a practical must-have for the modern family.

Situated on the upper floor, both showhomes boast superbly indulgent master bedrooms. The Southbrook presents a luxurious interior with a bold, linear trend from the chocolate and mocha feature wall through to the alternating textures of the silk and linen bedding. The delicate colour scheme and select accessories create a tranquil yet stylish space, which is accompanied by its own ensuite with bath and separate shower cubicle, plus his and hers basins.

The guest bedroom and remaining three bedrooms each showcase an individual take on the property's signature theme with various highlights of raspberry, coral and crimson.

The townhouse continues its light, fresh decor throughout and presents a tranquil master bedroom filled with neutral tones alongside a cutting-edge monochrome styled guest bedroom. The black and white bedding is lifted with iridescent fabrics and embroidered detail, whilst mirrored wardrobe doors maximise the sense of light and space.

Both showhomes come complete with family bathroom finished with contemporary sanitary ware, ground floor WC and master ensuite facilities, plus ample storage throughout, landscaped front garden and paved driveway. The Southbrook villa also benefits from ensuite facilities in the guest and third bedroom, a library and a double integral garage, whilst the Dunblane townhouse enjoys a single garage.

Highfields View presents a selection of exclusive properties set amongst the hills overlooking the Forth Valley. Surrounded by countryside in the charming town of Dunblane, the development offers a haven of tranquillity situated within easy access of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth and Stirling. Based on the grounds of the old High School, Highfields is within walking distance of the brand new replacement school and is also nearby all local amenities.

The new showhomes are now open Thursday to Monday from 10.30am until 5.30pm. Four bedroom Dunblane townhouses are priced £266,000 and five bedroom Southbrook villas start from £440,000.
