A Scottish castle could easily cost between £2 to £5 million in today's market . An alternative has presented itself in the Edinburgh proieprty market - a luxury house on the Castle Gogar estate , next to the baronial Castle Gogar .
The Castle Gogar Estate is a unique development. Alongside the significant restoration of the Scots Baronial castle, five unique new build houses and two steading conversions will be offered for sale, providing the opportunity to live in a country castle estate within the city boundaries. Unlike most other housing projects, purchasers will be able to place their own personal stamp on their home according to their own particular needs.
Castle Gogar is a 17th century architectural jewel situated within a secluded woodland setting that extends to approximately 14 acres. Also within the grounds are five of the most extraordinary houses to be created in Edinburgh for many years. Each of the new build houses was individually designed in the 'international style' by Edinburgh architect Ian Aitken of Yeoman McAllister, he commented;
"from the very start these homes were to be unique individual statements. A contemporary interpretation of the architectural language of Rietveld, Corbusier and Meier. Aesthetically, modern and progessive whilst nevertheless still reflecting the sculptural nature and 'sense of place' of the Scots Baronial, Castle Gogar".
Not only can layouts be amended to suit buyers but options which can be added include gyms, libraries, movie rooms, saunas, games rooms, endless pools and two houses having the option of secondary stairs to allow private access to the master suite or master guest suite. In addition each purchaser will be offered an introductory interior design service which will include consultations and concept designs.
Some of the concepts in alternative floor layouts are derived from the time that Jamie Hudson, Managing Director of Dennis Developments, spent in America where many large houses are marketed with optional layouts. |
