Nothing beats coming
home to West 1
Located to the west of Aberdeen and occupying an
inviting rural setting, Stewart Milne Homes’ latest
collection of homes is situated in a residential area of
Aberdeen, known locally as the village of Kingswells.
You benefit from the convenience of city living, but in
the country. From easy access to the city, to the myriad
of walks and country trails on your doorstep, West 1 is
an ideal place to call home.
At Stewart Milne Homes, we never forget
that a home isn’t just where you live, it’s
how you live. And that moving to a new
home is a fresh, exciting start - and often
one of life’s most inspiring moments.
That’s why this brochure includes not
only the details you’d expect - sizes,
specifications and styles - but also
something of the life you’ll live at West 1.
After all, this isn’t a sales brochure.
This is your new home.
Your new location
We’re building at West 1 for a simple reason: the area’s
perfect for enjoying life to the full.
The setting
West 1 is designed to make the most of its beautiful
surroundings.
It is nestled between the rolling hills and the old village of
Kingswells, but just a few miles from the heart of the City
of Aberdeen. West 1 has the feeling of a peaceful, safe
and secure environment.
This is something special – be part of it.
Living Life
Community is at the heart of West 1. As Kingswells is
a well established residential area, with a varied mix of
homestyles. Over the years the village has been planned
with plenty of greenspaces and landscaped features.
And, there are many paths and walkways designed for
cycling, jogging or just a leisurely stroll.
There are even areas suitable for horse-riding, with
several DIY livery stables in close proximity to Kingswells.
Webster Park in Kingswells, has a 5-a-side football pitch
available for hire, so you and friends can enjoy having
a kick-about. Kingswells is also linked by an attractive
boardwalk to Dobbies Garden World, which rewards
runners, and walkers, with a good place to stop for a
refreshing drink in one of the restaurants.
You’re close to an abundance of golf courses; Westhill
Golf Course, Craibstone Golf Course and Hazlehead Golf
Course and Park. Royal Deeside is not too far away for
that perfect day out. For the more adventurous, just 7
miles from Kingswells is the Loch of Skene, where there
is a local sailing club, or for those who seek a real thrill
there’s the new Go-Ape centre at Crathes Castle, just 10
miles from Kingswells, where you can abseil and climb
through the tree canopies until your hearts content.
Kingswells boasts a purpose built village centre with
parking, which has a well used local cooperative, a
pharmacy with a post office within, a vet practice, two
fast-food takeaways and a local hairdresser and beauty
salon. There is also a very active community centre,
offering a host of events, clubs and sporting facilities.
Shopping
The West End of Aberdeen is a hop away with its upmarket restaurants and bars. The city centre offers a
wide array of national high street stores found in the main
shopping areas around Union Street and boasts three
main shopping centres; the Bon Accord and St Nicholas
Centre, Union Square and The Academy, as well as a
wide range of unique and boutique shops.
The Kingswells park’n’ride provides excellent transport
link to the city centre and Aberdeen train station. There
is even a regular bus service to the airport directly from
Kingswells.
West 1 is as exciting or as relaxing as you want to make it.

lined landscape along the west side of the development,

and the open fields beyond.
The existing trees will be incorporated by Stewart Milne
Homes and our plans include sympathetic landscaping
around the development with the creation of an informal
play area and additional areas of tree planting.
The development has been designed to ensure views
and, from the alignment of the roads to the position of
the homes, you are constantly reminded of the country
side views.
Planting throughout the development will ensure a unique
character from the very outset.
You’ll find cleverly designed interiors, stunning kitchens
and attractive exteriors to suit buyers from young couples
starting out to professionals.
The homes at West 1, Kingswells are part of our exclusive
Woodlands collection and comprise a choice of one and

community will grow around you.

some properties are built handed (mirror image) to those shown. Door, window and elevational treatments may vary to provide interest within the development. Please ask us for details of the
specification of your chosen home and the technical specification, heating and electrical layout drawings which may have changed since this brochure was printed. Details are for guidance

Step
inside
Embark on a journey to
discover the home you’ve
always wanted.
At West 1 we’ve created three different styles of home for you
to choose from. They’ve been designed to provide flexible
accommodation that suits the ever-changing needs of modern
living, with well-planned living areas combined with high
specification kitchens that have integrated appliances and an
excellent choice of styles.
In addition, our homes are designed to be energy efficient
with excellent insulation, ensuring comfortable temperatures
throughout and reducing your energy bills, compared to second
hand properties.
The following will provide you with a summary of the specification
you can expect in your new home.
When you reserve your home early, you can personalise
your home with a range of choices including selecting your
kitchen and bathroom styles. If you would like a more detailed
specification of any of our homes, please get in touch, we’d be
happy to help.
*Choices are subject to build program. Information is correct at time of going to print, but is subject to change. For more information, please speak to one of our team of
Sales Consultants. The specification included in this brochure or included in the leaflet which accompanies this brochure gives a general specification applicable to this
development. Please check the specification relating to the individual plot you have chosen, with our Sales Consultant at the time of reservation.

The inside story
Let’s start in the kitchen. Firstly, the open plan kitchen is
Safety is always a priority - all homes at West 1 come
about people - we know there’s no better place to gather
complete with a mains smoke detector (and battery back-up
together and eat with family and friends. It’s the true heart of
pack) linked to other detectors within the property.
any home. So you can be sure that ours are well equipped
and cleverly designed to maximise space.
And secondly, your kitchen must have the wow factor. We
offer a range of contemporary kitchens, where you can
choose from a wide selection of kitchen doors styles, handle
types and worktops*. Kitchens include stainless steel gas
hob, built in/under single oven integrated appliances. The
kitchen is the heart of your home so ours are designed to
suit you.
Your bedroom(s) are light and airy. All master bedrooms
offer either luxury walk-in wardrobes, or fitted wardrobes
with sliding mirrored doors and shelving. We also provide
a TV and telephone outlet for those cosy nights in.
Your bathrooms offer a choice of co-ordinating tiling too.
We also make sure that the internal decoration suits you.
You’ve told us that you want your new home to be neutral,
so you can stamp your individuality on each room. We
paint every home in magnolia, with ceilings and internal
woodwork in brilliant white. Doors throughout your home
are panel styled and feature chrome lever handles.
A new home has many other advantages over secondhand. Energy efficiency is maximised with double glazing
(and the added safety feature of locks to all ground floor
windows that open), loft insulation and gas fired central
heating for lower bills.
We provide plenty of electrical sockets in your new home
for all your gadgets, along with the TV outlet and BT point
adjacent for cable/satellite TV.
And the outside story
We know that the outside space of a home is just as
important to you as the inside space. So our commitment
to giving you the perfect living environment is equally
focused here.
Front doors are pre-finished GRP panelled doors with a
smooth finish in white and a three point locking system
and chrome ironmongery.
We finish your home with white PVCu frames and sealed
double glazed units, with the added safety feature of locks
to all ground floor windows that open.
The garden to the front of your home will be landscaped
ready to enjoy from the day you move in and will form part
of the development’s common grounds. As part of the
overall upkeep and maintenance of the grounds of your
development, home owners may have to pay a proportion
of all common repair and maintenance charges relative
to the development common areas, such as the common
landscaped grounds.
An independent management company will be retained
to carry out this work. This service varies depending on
your development, so please ask your Sales Consultant
for further details.

mortgage lenders, not sure where to start, answering the
same questions again and again.

and find the mortgage that best suits you. An Independent

role is to find the best mortgage offer for you that is both
affordable and fits your circumstances.

The benefits of a
Stewart Milne home
Our homes come in all shapes and sizes, and there are
countless designs and styles to choose from - something
for everyone.
Spoilt for choice
Designed to suit modern lifestyles
Subject to the stage of construction, you can choose
fixtures and fittings, or a higher specification from our
range at an additional cost. In some cases this will
include flooring, soft furnishings, interior design or even
a garden landscaping service.
Our homes are built to make use of every inch of
space. Research shows 17% of living space in older
style properties often goes unused, which translates
to £34,000 of a £200,000 house going to waste. Our
homes provide flexible living space whatever your needs.
