ROWANBANK Gardens in Edinburgh has welcomed its first residents to a development dubbed a ‘spectacular blueprint for low carbon living’.

Almost 80% of the site’s first Appleberry homes phase is now sold and occupied, with the next phase due for completion this month.

Located in the suburb of Corstorphine, Rowanbank Gardens is now delivering 93 apartments for private sale set around a large garden space filled with fruit trees and communal planting beds.

The development is said to be proving to popular with first-time buyers and downsizers. Nearly half of all apartments have already been snapped up, with just four apartments remaining of the completed Appleberry phase.

Developer Artisan Real Estate scooped the first ever ‘Excellence in Sustainability’ gong at this year’s Scottish Homes Awards.

New homes sales advisor Izzy Bastiani said, “It’s wonderful to be welcoming our first Rowanbank Gardens residents into their new homes. Our buyers are now experiencing at first-hand the light and airy living spaces, as well as the quality of the natural oak flooring and the fittings in the kitchen and bathroom, all of which come as standard.”

Rowanbank Gardens is one of the first large developments in Scotland to employ individual air source heat pumps in all apartments, providing both heating and domestic hot water.
