This five-bedroom detached home at Craighall Village’s The Monktons is aimed at families who want low-maintenance, modern living close to Edinburgh. The house delivers a large open-plan kitchen/family/dining area with German studio-designed kitchen, bi-fold doors to the rear garden and a separate formal lounge for quieter evenings. Built to a high specification, the home includes fitted wardrobes in the main bedrooms, Siemens appliances, EV charging and a B energy rating.
Practical daily living is well thought through: there’s an integral single garage, private driveway, utility room, downstairs cloakroom and sizeable storage. Heating and hot water are supplied via a communal Heat Network for a lower-carbon solution, and the new-build purchase is supported by a 10-year NHBC warranty plus two-year after-sales cover.
Buyers should note a few factual drawbacks. The listing contains inconsistent bathroom counts versus marketing text (confirm number of bathrooms and en suites). There is an annual combined management fee and consortium charge of £386.17 plus an additional float fee, and council tax is banded at G which will be relatively expensive. The Heat Network is efficient but can limit choice of individual heating systems.
Positioned on the outskirts of Edinburgh, the development benefits from planned nearby amenities (shops, schools, healthcare) and access to Dalkeith Country Park and Shawfair transport links. For families seeking space, modern fittings and strong energy performance in a new community, this home offers a ready-to-move-into option with predictable pricing and warranty protection.
