AMA Homes - Queens Gardens

The Development

Set within 2.07 hectares of parkland, Q Gardens offers a range of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom family homes and is set to become a unique and exclusive addition to the historical town of South Queensferry.

The entrance road winds through mature trees, providing privacy from the main road, before opening onto a central “village green”, flanked by eight stunning, 5-bedroom, detached villas.

Scotstoun House, a B-listed modernist office building, is being converted into four 4-bedroom apartments, updated to the finish and energy-efficiency expected of a modern home.

Across an original walled garden sits a Georgian stable block, which will see the stable and neighbouring cottage linked by a dramatic extension, featuring a glazed curtain wall, to form a unique 3-bedroom dwelling. On the eastern side of the development will sit three 4-bedroom villas and five 3-bedroom homes.

Each home features a fluid living space that flows seamlessly from the kitchen, through the dining zone to the living area, all with feature glazing to make the most of the parkland setting. The kitchens are individually designed, featuring a range of stylish units and fitted appliances. Similarly, bathrooms and en suites will feature designer fittings and large format, elegant wall and floor tiles.

With underfloor heating, high levels of insulation and a state-of-the-art heat recovery system, the homes at Q Gardens have energy efficiency built in, offering both comfort and economy.

The Location

South Queensferry lies just 10 miles to the north west of Edinburgh and you can be in the heart of the capital in 20 minutes by train from Dalmeny Station, about 30 minutes by car or an hour by bike along the National Cycle Network Route 1. But with the motorway just 5 minutes away and excellent local roads, the towns and cities of the central belt and Fife are accessible in under an hour. And if you’re plans are further afield, Edinburgh Airport is only 5 miles away and easily accessible by car, bike, or train and tram.

There’s a real sense of community in South Queensferry centred on its pretty, historical High Street, which is peppered with attractive shops and inviting cafés, bars and restaurants. Q Gardens is in a great location for families, with local Primary and Secondary schools within easy walking distance, as is The Hub, a multi-sports centre with floodlit pitches and tennis courts. For dog owners, it’s a short walk to the Dundas Castle Estate where you’ll find well signposted routes through the picturesque grounds. It’s also home to a 9-hole golf course.

Getting the weekly shop in couldn’t be easier, with a Tesco Superstore just along the road; an M&S Food, Scotmid and the bustling High Street within a 15 minute walk; and Craigie’s Farm Deli, for fresh produce, a short drive away. For High Street Brands head to Dunfermline, The Gyle Shopping Centre or Livingston Designer Outlet. But if you’re wanting to enjoy Edinburgh’s many and varied shopping and leisure opportunities, let the train take the strain.
