About Stewart Milne Homes

The original design of the development has won awards but on walking around you have more questions on that one than answers. For example why have they got the hedging going through the middle of many gardens instead of around the boundary?
As the months go by and with the more the houses go up you do get the niggling thought of will the area end up over populated? Saying that it is beautiful with woods to our south, east and west and a beach only about 6 miles away.
With all new builds the size of rooms can be a little on the smaller side and there are always teething problems and Countesswells is no different. There are issues trying to get some of the snagging done, this can often be easier said than done. I have opted to just pay for the ones that I cannot live with and fingers crossed and hope Stewart Milne gets round to the others eventually but it has been 4 1/2 years now so I won’t hold my breath.
The general area is kept tidy with the local authority refuse collectors doing a sterling job, if only the same could be said of the factoring company who may have bitten off more than they can chew with even the simplest of requests being an issue.

Moving from a bigger home to Carron Den Road had to be right as we had to adjust to a smaller home (even although same amount of bedrooms) I love the lay out, the entry to our home has an open spacious hallway which has the stairs in the center. The kitchen in an ideal world could have been bigger but you need to compromise somewhere. the upstairs obviously feels more roomier due to the garage taking up room downstairs.
Property management and building management has been great right from viewing the house, to moving in and the after service. The teething problems we have had, have been dealt with immediately. Very friendly approachable staff, not just the site manager, service manager but the sales team, the tradesmen, very professional and welcoming by everyone. The site grounds are kept clean, tidy and gardeners out after the storm tidying everything up. i also believe there is going to be a new walk way down to the town.

The design of the development is very unique and very interesting and provides for a warm and friendly atmosphere to both residents and visitors.
The external design of the new homes is also very unique and offers great character, and once you enter inside you can’t help but feel the wow factor with many design features and a high specification again being excellent value for money.
Whilst the external landscape is still in its infancy, it is easy to see how this will quickly mature and is being very well maintained at the moment.
People within the town of Stonehaven, and beyond, very much recognise that Dunnottar
Park is the most desirable place to live within Stonehaven.
