THE VERY BEST IN INTERIOR DESIGN ON SHOW AT CRAIGERNE, PEEBLES
12 Aug 2002

CALA has now opened the Stewart showhome at Craigerne, Peebles, one of the company’s most prestigious current developments. <br><br> Top interior design company, Marren of Cambridge, have designed the interior to set off the spacious and well laid out five bedroom home to best effect. <br><br> CRAIGERNE <br><br> Craigerne itself, which CALA is developing in partnership with Barnardo Developments Limited, is an attractive and exclusive development featuring 18, four and five bedroom properties built to nine of the company’s largest and most luxurious housetypes. <br><br> The homes are ideally located in an attractive and secluded mature setting and are within walking distance of Peebles town centre, which boasts excellent amenities. <br><br> Only eight properties remain available for sale at Craigerne, which is also within comfortable commuting distance of Edinburgh. <br><br> Gerry More, Managing Director of CALA Homes (East) Limited, explains why Craigerne has been so successful: “The Borders is undoubtedly an increasingly desirable place to live for those working across the central belt and Peebles is one of the most attractive towns in the area. However, there is a very real shortage of large, well- built and attractively designed detached properties in Peebles, especially those within walking distance of the town centre.” <br><br> THE NEW SHOWHOME <br><br> The spacious five bedroom home is entered though a magnificent stone archway which leads into a large entrance hall. The entrance hall, in turn, leads into the main accommodation on the ground floor, which includes a stylish drawing room looking out over the front garden. This reception room is decorated in grey/blue and cream accentuated with elegant teak furniture and a classically shaped stone fireplace. <br><br> The colour theme is continued throughout the ground floor accommodation and the dining room with its cream and pale blue striped wallpaper boasts an air of sophistication. The dining room leads into the pitched roof conservatory, which flows out into the large rear garden through French windows. The dining room also leads into the spacious family room which has a delightful central archway separating the kitchen from the family area, both overlooking the rear garden. <br><br> The spaciousness of the designer-fitted kitchen is emphasised by the large American fridge freezer and the contemporary colour theme of chrome and beech. A study completes the accommodation on the ground floor. <br><br> Upstairs a galleried landing leads to a stone balcony and to the five roomy bedrooms. The master bedroom is decorated in grey, blue and cream tones and boasts three large built-in wardrobes and a spacious en-suite bathroom with separate shower and bath and his and hers wash-hand basins. The guest bedroom also features an en-suite shower room. <br><br> The property has been laid out to show what a splendid family home the Stewart is. There is a nursery with yellow and cream tones and daisy motif, a boys room decorated in blues and spots, which also features a bed designed as a boat, and a girls room with blues and creams and cat motifs. A large family bathroom completes the accommodation on the upper floor. <br><br> Prices at Craigerne start at £330,000. <br><br> The Stewart showhome and the Customer Reception at Craigerne are open from Thursday to Monday inclusive, between 11:00am and 5:30pm or by appointment.
