“After visiting the showhome, we had narrowed down our choice to two plots and opted for the Glenfinnan housetype which already had flooring and fixtures installed, but many other aspects such as tiles and worktops could be chosen based on our preferences. Grandhome provides the extra family living space for us, while still being close to all of our important facilities. As soon as we saw the AJC home and got a feel for Grandhome, we didn’t consider moving anywhere else. “Most of our family and friends live in Bridge of Don, and the children’s nursery is there, so it was important to us that we stayed local. Speaking of the move, Erin said: “We weren’t really considering a move, but with the lockdown earlier in the year we were spending so much time at home and with two young children and a dog in a two bedroom property, we knew we needed much more space.


After browsing photographs of the AJC showhome in the community later that spring, Erin was blown away by the property and lifestyle opportunities available in the community and convinced Billy to take a look. It wasn’t until lockdown last year that they recognised the need for more space for the increasing amount of time being spent at home. As well as being an easy drive from the city centre, commuters can also reach Dundee in under an hour-and-a-half via the A90 trunk road.Lockdown results in Bridge of Don family finding forever home in Grandhomeįor the MacKenzie family, lockdown kick-started an unexpected house move to their forever home in Grandhome.Įrin MacKenzie, her partner Billy, two young children and dog lived in Bridge of Don and were aware of the new community of Grandhome, located on the outskirts of the area, but hadn’t considered a move. Where to start with Aberdeen? You can look forward to intricate architecture, a refreshingly bohemian eating out scene and a craft beer movement inspired by the world-famous BrewDog brewery nearby. Parents can look forward to a straightforward school run - Forehill and Danestone primary schools are both within a 15 minute walk. And when the kids are a bit older, you won’t have to venture much further, with secondary Middleton Park School around the same distance. On top of that, the ASDA Middleton Park Superstore will be perfect for your weekly shop, with the McColl’s convenience store also close by. Imagine a stylish collection of homes, just a short drive from a fascinating city centre offering culture aplenty and a great night out, but surrounded by an oasis of green space plus supermarkets, shops, pubs and schools. Grandhome is an inspiring development that offers a tranquil way of life, but with the excitement of the city centre just moments away.
