New builds: A select new development in the Aberdeenshire village of Sauchen
The Brambles, courtesy of local developer Kirkwood Homes, offers a range of properties in a picturesque setting that is close to the towns of Inverurie and Westhill, making it ideal for homebuyers seeking the quiet life but within easy reach of busier locales.
The Gullane house type at Plot 7, priced at £624,995, is a five-bedroomed detached villa on the edge of the development and benefits from a south-facing garden, ensuring that the sun can be enjoyed for most of the day.

Sheena Hendry, who recently moved to the development with her husband and two children, says: “We realised that we didn’t want to move into the city and instead wanted somewhere with open space and plenty of walks and cycle routes, as we were already planning on getting a dog.
“The location itself is lovely and nothing is far away. There is a really nice walking route that takes you to the local school, as well as walking and cycling paths to Castle Fraser.
“There’s an ice cream van that comes to the development twice a week which the kids love, we also really like Echt Tandoori and Jaff’s Bar in Dunecht.”
There are primary schools close to The Brambles at Cluny, Midmar and Dunecht, and secondaries at Kemnay, Alford and Inverurie.
