Low-carbon Heat Network for heating and hot water (no gas boiler)

This four-bedroom detached home at Craighall Village’s The Monktons offers modern family living across 1,646 sq ft. The layout centres on an open-plan kitchen/family/dining room with German studio-designed Siemens appliances and bi-fold doors that connect directly to the private garden—ideal for family meals and entertaining. A separate lounge provides a quieter retreat and flexible space for a home office or media room.
Specification is a clear strength: an integral double garage, private driveway with EV charging point, utility room, 1.8m fencing, and high-quality finishes throughout. Heating and hot water are provided by a low-carbon Heat Network, which reduces household carbon emissions though it differs from a conventional gas boiler system. The home comes with a 10-year NHBC warranty and two years of after-sales service.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be factored in. Council Tax is band G (quite expensive), and there is an annual combined factor & consortium management fee (£386.17) plus a £250 float fee. The wider area is being developed with new amenities one mile away, but official area data notes high local deprivation despite the planned infrastructure improvements.
A nearby showhome of this style can be viewed at the West Craigs development if you want to experience the specification and layout in person. This house will suit buyers seeking a high-spec, low-carbon family home close to Edinburgh with good travel connections and room to grow.
