A new community is taking shape at Lovell’s Oakwood Edge housing development in Mayfield, with ten households now moved in.
The first buyers to move to Oakwood Edge were Leah and Andrew Christie, a married couple with two children aged one and three-years-old. The couple decided to move after their family expanded with the arrival of their second child, and they outgrew their previous house.
The couple, from Midlothian, moved into their three-bedroom semi-detached Carnoustie house type this summer, and the deciding factor was the 5% deposit that Lovell offered towards the house.
The new development of two, three, and four-bedroom homes has views across to Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh and beyond to the Firth of Forth. Leah said, “It’s right on the cusp of beautiful countryside. You could walk for miles and miles. The views over Edinburgh, the Pentland hills, and Fife are stunning, and you see some amazing skies at night.”
Lovell added that the Carnoustie housetype has lots of storage space and a spacious lounge, where double doors connect to the bright dining space.
Leah commented, “Lovell has really thought about storage and layout, which are so important to a young family. We love our kitchen; it’s the centre of our home and where we spend most of our time. It’s great to be able to eat and cook while still having the kids within sight in the living room. We also really love our en suite bathroom. It’s amazing having one especially when you have kids. It’s our little adult escape.”
