THE DEVELOPMENT

This site has been masterplanned for four serviced plots, each with a separate garage space. Each one comfortably fits a five bedroom home, with space over two floors. The homes have been designed with great care, so they echo the local vernacular.

Plots 3 and 4 benefit from south facing gardens with beautiful views over the Ochil Hills surrounding this site. Trees to the east and west maintain a sense of privacy, separating the homes from nearby properties, and acting as a natural buffer to any noise. Beech hedges will be planted within the development to create a natural boundary dividing each plot from its neighbour.

The homes have been designed by Matthew Pease, a local architect, with a choice of four different interior layouts for plot purchasers to choose from. Matthew was selected for his familiarity with the area, and his extensive experience enhancing conservation villages, such as . His designs blend naturally with the surrounding areas of Castle Hill View, and the flexibility available allows custom builders to create their own spaces reflecting their lifestyle. custombuildhomes.co.uk Castle Hill View
