The off-plan launch of the first phase of this new development by local builder Robinson Dixon Homes has taken place. Initially eight high-specification properties of six different property types are being constructed at Scotby Plains, located off Scotby Road, Scotby. Phase two will follow in summer 2017.

A variation of three, four and five-bedroom semi-detached and detached properties are included in the initial build. These properties will be finished to a high standard and will be offered in a “turn key” condition with underfloor heating throughout the ground floors as standard, all internal carpets fitted and with quality kitchen and bathrooms.

Gordon Adamson, managing director of selling agent, Northwood, said: "Apart from a fantastic location, the properties offer exceptional living space and are being built with modern living in mind. The interest we have received is understandably high as we’re selling such a unique development rarely seen in North Cumbria and in such a prime location.”

Quality is offered as standard in each property type. All of the properties are built with a superior external finish to include quoins and/or heads, cills, plinths and band course. Bi-folding doors to the rear gardens are offered on most properties.

Internally all properties offer carpets and all flooring, coving, security alarm, gas central heating with Worcester boilers, full decoration and USB sockets to lounge, kitchen and bedrooms.

The kitchens are fitted out to a high standard with modern, contemporary fittings such as Silestone worktops and integrated appliances including fridge-freezers and dishwashers. The larger houses will have Leisure Cookmaster Range cookers.

Gordon added: “Robinson Dixon will be using Kohler or Sottini bathrooms. They have tried to stay as local as possible when sourcing materials and are proud to be using Caldew Kitchens and a wealth of local companies."

All of the properties will have paved rear patios, landscaped gardens, fenced and gated back gardens, external lighting and outside taps.

This weekend offers prospective purchasers the opportunity to influence the internal finish through the choice of kitchen units, worktops, tiles and internal door finish, giving the early buyers the chance to put their own stamp on their dream home.

"Scotby is a very popular village with a good primary school, pub, shop and post office. It's also very conveniently situated for travel via the nearby M6 with quick and easy access to Carlisle,” Gordon said.

Scotby Plains is being exclusively marketed by Northwood Estate Agents of 7/9 Warwick Road, Carlisle.

Scotby Plains is to be built over the next two years with the first properties to be completed in June 2017. Prices start from £235,000 with full details and marketing packs available from Northwood.
