Edinburgh, Midlothian -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/11/2010 -- Work has now begun on Stewart Milne Homes’ latest project in North East Scotland – the widely anticipated Silver Birches development in Alford.

Named after the location’s signature abundance of birch trees, the new development sits on the outskirts of the village and will comprise a range of two, three, four and five bedroom family homes across 80 acres.

The site will also feature the housebuilder’s exclusive Woodlands Collection – a selection of limited edition house styles, which was introduced in North Scotland just four months ago.

John Low, managing director of Stewart Milne Homes North Scotland, commented:

“The nearby town of Westhill has seen significant growth over the last few years, with its major expansion of business and industrial space drawing more and more companies and skilled workers to the area. As its economy continues to thrive, so does the demand for homes.

“Stewart Milne Homes is building to meet the different needs and desires of those moving to the area. The introduction of Silver Birches in Alford, in addition to our highly successful Broadshade development nearby, is designed to broaden the options available and offer something for everyone.”

Alford is ideally situated, offering easy access to both Westhill and Aberdeen, and has become an increasingly popular location with commuters.

Sales are launched last weekend. For further details contact 0845 026 8249 or visit stewartmilnehomes.com
