Stephen’s attractive range of two bedroom cottages and two and three-bedroom semi-detached homes marry contemporary design with versatile living spaces.

With two bedrooms and practical storage areas, this property is perfectly equipped for family life.
Each cottage comes with Neff integrated appliances, Porcelanosa wall tilings in bathrooms and en-suites and white Mexicano prefinished internal doors among other user-friendly highlights.

The upcoming Etive and Finsbay house types offer two and three bedrooms, as well as premium touches such as oak or mahogany staircase handrails throughout the spacious home.

It may only be November but the first frosts of winter will soon be here. We look at some quick, effective and simple tips you can put in place now to make your winter a trouble-free season around the home.
Outdoors
Gut your gutters
A factor often overlooked when it comes to home maintenance is ensuring that water is drained correctly. Check your roof gutters and ground-level drainage for any signs of blockage, such as weeds or leaves, and ensure these are clear to draw away the worst of the water flow as ice and snow melts.
Get salty
A quick and effective way to combat ice on your driveway is to sprinkle salt on areas surrounding your home. Ensure that your driveway, heavily-used paths and steps are covered to improve traction and quickly dissolve ice.
Welcome wildlife
As winter sets in, the availability of food for local wildlife can decline. You can play your part by hanging bird feeders and keeping bird baths topped up to encourage them to flock to your garden.
Indoors
Load up on logs
Load up on logs to make the most of a cosy fire during the colder winter months. Local garden centres such as Kirktown Garden Centre in Kirktown of Fetteresso, Stonehaven offer plenty of dry wood which can be stored at home until ready to use.
Cook up a storm
Winter often brings with it a series of bugs and illnesses. You can start the fight against them early by boosting your immune system with healthier ingredients in your home-cooked meals. Leeks, garlic, greens and even sweet potatoes are high in zinc, which is a key element in promoting a healthy immune system.
Cosy and comfortable
You can set a warming, comfortable tone in your home which will keep your family cosy on a winter’s evening by introducing heavy throws, comfy cushions and candles. These accessories will help to create a relaxed ambience making warm evenings in front of the fire even more enjoyable.

Chapelton’s favourite café Teacake is set to reopen under new management this weekend, on Saturday 4 November at 10:00am.
