This weekend marks the unveiling of a luxury show home with a difference. The Avenue is a groundbreaking age-exclusive development nestled in the scenic suburb of Barnton in Edinburgh. Crafted by the award-winning housebuilder Cruden Homes, this exciting concept offers sophisticated living for individuals aged 55 and above.  Together with 48 stunning new homes, residents at The Avenue benefit from superb hotel-inspired facilities, including a club lounge, guest suite and dedicated concierge service.

Featuring a range of highly sustainable and energy efficient apartments, penthouses, and executive villas, ranging from one to three bedrooms, all properties at The Avenue enjoy a superior specification and high quality fixtures and fittings. The development is surrounded by an abundance of green space and directly overlooks the prestigious Royal Burgess golf course.

The show home is an elegant two-bedroom apartment reflecting its picturesque surroundings. Like all deluxe properties at The Avenue, it features impressively ceiling heights and large windows, allowing natural light to flood in and maximise the sense of space. There is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, a master bedroom with a spacious en-suite, a comfortable guest bedroom, and a main bathroom.

The striking show home has been designed by Suzanne Thomas at Blocc Interiors.  Sharing her design inspiration, Suzanne said:

“I wanted to showcase elegant aspirational décor, inspiring mature buyers to embrace hassle-free living in a community of like-minded individuals. I drew inspiration from the stunning surroundings with beautiful views and plenty of greenery, so it was important to reflect this in the colour scheme. I combined soft tones of green alongside bold accents to bring modern luxury and comfort together to create an inviting space for downsizers to enjoy.”

The Avenue’s prestigious location in Barnton offers easy access to convenience stores, a post office and a pharmacy. Golf enthusiasts will find Royal Burgess, Bruntsfield Links, and Ravelston Golf Clubs on their doorstep. Those with a love for the outdoors can also embrace the area’s breathtaking surroundings of Cramond Beach, the River Almond, Cammo Estate and Corstorphine Hill

This contemporary and fresh approach to independent luxury living for over 55s has seen unprecedented levels of demand with many homes in the first release already being reserved.

Hazel Davies, Sales and Marketing Director at Cruden Homes, added:

“Since we first introduced the idea behind The Avenue, the response has been phenomenal. This unique development blends hotel-inspired facilities with luxury living and ticks all the boxes for over 55s who want chic, suburban living with a sense of community and within easy reach of the capital. This beautiful show home lets potential buyers reimagine their new life at this wonderful development.”

Prices start from £390,000, with the first phase of homes set for completion this Spring. Cruden Homes offers various initiatives to facilitate a stress-free move for potential buyers.
