Designed exclusively for retirees, this boutique-style community offers discerning buyers the chance to experience the refined lifestyle on offer in one of the capital’s most desirable locations.

Set amid landscaped grounds overlooking the Royal Burgess Golf Course, The Avenue comprises a carefully curated collection of energy-efficient apartments, penthouses, and executive villas.

Each property features between one and three bedrooms, all finished to a high specification with quality fixtures and fittings as standard. With generous ceiling heights and expansive windows, homes are bathed in natural light and designed to maximise space and comfort.

The newly opened show home – a beautifully appointed two-bedroom apartment – showcases The Avenue’s hallmark blend of understated luxury and thoughtful design.

The interior, styled by Get Fully Furnished, features a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area ideal for entertaining, a spacious master suite with en-suite bathroom, a stylish guest bedroom, and a contemporary main bathroom.

Elegant finishes and premium materials lend the home the sophisticated air of a boutique hotel.

Beyond individual homes, residents benefit from a range of lifestyle-focused amenities including stylish communal areas, established gardens, a residents’ lounge, guest suite for visitors, and a concierge service – all designed to promote ease, connection, and independence.

Further enhancing the living experience, Cruden Homes has partnered with The Senior Move Partnership and Glenmore Mobility to support new residents.

Buyers can access a complimentary two-hour relocation consultation, alongside tailored in-home mobility assessments and product recommendations to ensure continued comfort and accessibility.

Hazel Davies, Sales and Marketing Director at Cruden Homes, said: “The Avenue offers a truly unique lifestyle for independent retirees, combining the luxury and convenience of a boutique hotel with the independence of your own home.

“It’s been a joy to watch this community flourish. This stunning new show home offers a glimpse of the exceptional design, quality and vibrant community spirit that make The Avenue so special.”

New David Wilson Homes show home opens its doors in Rosewell

David Wilson Homes has opened the doors of its brand-new show home on the outskirts of the tranquil village of Rosewell.

Rosewell Meadow from David Wilson Homes, which forms part of Barratt Developments alongside Barratt Homes, offers a range of four-bed, high-quality family homes in one of Midlothian’s most picturesque locations.

The new Glenbervie show home has been designed to showcase the property’s modern features, highlighting space while creating warmth with a palette of neutral and rich tones. Opulent gold lights, mirrors and accessories give the house a light and bright feel.

The homes are suitable for a range of buyers but have been designed with families in mind, making it the ideal choice for those with children. The four-bed Glenbervie has a separate dining room, a unique music room and an open plan family kitchen – all perfect for spending time with loved ones or entertaining guests.

Abbie Lockett, Design Sales Manager at Designer Contracts, said: “The Glenbervie show home has lots of beautiful features that make it an upmarket experience when visitors take a tour. The colour throughout is warm and neutral with contrasting richer tones in features such as the kitchen cabinetry and bedroom panelling.

“The lounge has feature metallic textured wallpaper and layers of soft velvets. Eye-catching gold lighting complements the elegant sideboard, and the bespoke upholstery allows for plenty of people to relax and enjoy the space.

“Upstairs, the main feature in bedroom one is the three-quarter height panelling which spans across the bed wall. Sat in front is a bespoke upholstered king size winged headboard in a velvet cream fabric; with a large glass chandelier ceiling light hovering over the bed. A stylish console table and a six-drawer chest are dressed with statement ornaments to add to the luxury hotel feel.”

With homes starting at £422,995, David Wilson Homes is currently offering buyers 5% towards their deposit or mortgage; or a guaranteed buyer with their Part Exchange service. All homes currently for sale include a host of extras and flooring.

The former mining village of Rosewell is just seven miles from Edinburgh’s city centre, with Edinburgh City Bypass close by for commuters and those looking to take advantage of the capital’s bustling shops, restaurants and historic sites.

Closer to home, the development is near a number of well-regarded schools and has a range of family-friendly activities on its doorstep, including Roslin Glen Country Park, Rosslyn Chapel, the National Mining Museum in Newtongrange and Fort Douglas within Dalkeith Country Park.

Anne Ross, Sales Director at Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes East Scotland, said: “We’re pleased to finally be able to welcome buyers to our new show home in tranquil Rosewell, and allow them to experience the quality of these David Wilson Homes.

“This part of the county is known for its slower pace of life, which is ideal for families and those looking to escape the hubbub of the city centre. However, excellent transport links allow easy access into Edinburgh for commuters and day trippers.

“We look forward to welcoming buyers into the area and for them to find their dream home in the Midlothian countryside.”
