Meet the Team: Karen McDonald  

As a Sales Adviser with Perth-based housebuilder Stephen, Karen is a welcoming face for buyers considering a move to Chapelton as well as current residents. Here, Karen tells us more about her work within the town.

Tells us what your role in Chapelton involves?

My role is very much about supporting those moving to Chapelton and those living in the town. This can range from introducing potential buyers to the concept of the community and offering advice on housetypes, to settling newcomers and helping with any questions about their property.

What feedback do you receive from buyers when discussing Chapelton?

People are really intrigued by Chapelton and when they get here they love it. Many feel that it’s a traditional seaside town but with all the modern features needed for everyday life. They like the unique aesthetics such as the picket fences and coloured doors alongside the well-planned streets and sustainable design.

People also really enjoy being part of something – a bustling community and an exciting development with plenty of plans for the future.

Who is your typical Chapelton customer?

The range of buyers in Chapelton is very broad. We have interest from a wide mix of customers including first time buyers, new families and retired couples looking to downsize meaning that the town’s community is a great blend of people.

What is it that draws people to buying a home from Stephen?

Stephen is known for being a reputable housebuilder so our customers take peace and confidence in knowing that they are investing in a high quality product. The company is also family run so we’re popular for our personal service which ensures that we take time to get to know our customers and find out which property is best suited to them.

Which three words would you use to describe Chapelton?

Unique, integrated and impressive.

What do you like to do when not at work?

I actually live in a Stephen home so I know the properties very well. When I’m not tucked up inside or making the most of the garden I like to head out for long walks and explore the countryside.

Move into Your Dream Home in Chapelton this Christmas

Whether it’s hanging a traditional wreath on the front door, an indulgent dinner around the table with family and friends or cosy nights by the fire, everyone has their own version of a perfect Christmas at home.

In Chapelton, we have a selection of gorgeous homes available to move into ahead of the holidays, allowing you to turn your dream Christmas into reality.

With homes suitable for first time buyers, families and retirees, there’s something for everyone here in Chapelton. Take a look at some of the town’s best properties available to move into for Christmas.

A Cosy Christmas

Christmas is the perfect time to relax, unwind and get cosy and award-winning housebuilder Stephen’s two bedroom Ardwall offers the ideal setting.

A traditionally designed cottage priced at £230,000, this property offers an entrance hallway, two spacious bedrooms, plenty of storage, an open kitchen and dining room and a lounge where favourite seasonal films can be enjoyed with blankets, tree lights twinkling and lots of chocolate.

Entertaining Friends and Family

For many, the festive period is a time to celebrate with nearest and dearest. If you find yourself hosting this holiday, make the most of Aboyne-based housebuilder AJC’s spacious three bedroom detached home, The Fife, which is kitted out with everything needed to create a flawless Christmas meal that can be celebrated round the table.

The large dining kitchen features fully integrated appliances including a stainless steel oven, hob, extractor hood, dishwasher and fridge freezer, ready to cook up a festive storm.

Priced at £345,000, this home also offers buyers free flooring and part exchange, making it the ideal home for a hassle free move this Christmas.

A Bustling Household

If your typical Christmas is more Home Alone than The Holiday, then you’ll be looking for a house that can fit the whole family.

Stephen’s four bedroom Melfort, priced at £329,500, is the ideal space for hosting guests with its large bedrooms, open plan kitchen, dining area and sitting area, three bathrooms, landscaped garden and boot room where muddy shoes can be stored.

Looking Forward to 2019

While you may not be quite ready to move this Christmas, there’s nothing to stop you from thinking ahead to 2019.

The showhomes of Chapelton’s four housebuilders can be viewed by getting in touch with the sales teams to arrange an appointment. Visit the town during the festive period and enjoy a browse of the homes available for sale, a festive bite to eat in Teacake, or a walk in the crispy countryside along the Chapelton Trail.

Brio Retirement Living’s new show apartment is also set to be revealed to the public before the end of the year, so to see the apartment, or one of the show cottages, for yourself at the exclusive preview event on 6 December, speak to a member of the Brio sales team on 01224 042378.

AJC Homes Launches Brand New Show Home in Chapelton

AJC Homes, a local, high quality home builder, is launching its newest show home in Chapelton – the two-bedroom Findon – and giving buyers the opportunity to furnish their new home free of charge.

Joining AJC’s five-bedroom Rothesay show home, that has been open to the public for 4 years, this new addition to the development will give first-time buyers and young families the opportunity to experience a home suited to their modern lifestyle.

The official show home launch event is taking place on Saturday 1st September, from 10am-5pm, with the first guests through the door being treated to a free luxury candle from local company Feather & Grey.

All guests will be able to enter a competition to win a hamper from Feather & Grey, and can enjoy delicious food and drink. There will also be a financial advisor on-hand to offer free advice and answer any questions guests may have.

Sian is the AJC Sales Advisor at Chapelton, and she says: “This is a fantastic two-bed home, with incredibly spacious bedrooms – which is perfect if you have kids, or are thinking about starting a family.

“The French doors in the lounge leading out to the back garden let lots of natural light in, making this space really bright. This home has great storage space throughout, and not only has a master bathroom upstairs, but a handy WC on the ground floor. It really is the perfect home for a first-time buyer or young family.”

This 80m2 home is available to buy in Chapelton from £222,000, and AJC Homes is also offering customers a fantastic incentive, to help furnish their new home.

If you reserve a Findon or Stirling home at Chapelton, you’ll receive a £5,000 furniture pack from John Lewis – which allows you to select your own furniture up to this value. You can get an idea of how much this would include by visiting the show home – as all the furniture you see inside was purchased within this budget.

This show home has a modern, minimalistic design, with nods to the Scandinavian trend throughout, and you can take a look around from 11am-5pm, Thursday to Monday.
