Tulloch Homes Unveils Exquisite Showhome Nr Banchory
25th March 2008
Exquisite classical design with touches of retro style combine with superb space and specification at Tulloch Homes first Aberdeenshire showhome.
The stunning Carnegie villa will be officially unveiled on Saturday March 29th at Heatherbank, an exclusive enclave of detached, luxury five bedroom homes in the quiet village of Strachan on tranquil Feughside, surrounded by rural splendor yet only 5 minutes from Banchory’s busy town centre.
As with every home here at Heatherbank, the showhome is a substantial property with high ceilings, large windows, generous accommodation, and an exceptional specification
From the moment you enter the Carnegie, you are struck by the warm, welcoming appearance that befits a property of this standing with a stylish vestibule decorated in subtle metallic tones, leading to the wide hallway with oak glass paneled doors opening to the main public rooms.
The superb family sitting room with ample space has been decorated in a palette of taupe, black and gold. Exquisite chandeliers and glass occasional tables contrast with rich window dressings and classically designed furniture, creating an opulent, relaxing space overlooking the lawns of the rear garden through French windows.
The sumptuous look continues to the formal dining room, a beautiful room comfortably sitting eight, where silvery tones, crystal, glass and hints of scarlet create a delightful space for entertaining and celebrations.
For more informal gatherings, the spectacular open plan kitchen and family room is a stunning contemporary space. The expansive kitchen includes dark wood units with stainless steel finishes and matt black worktops, contrasting with light tiles, walls and flooring. Even with an informal dining table and defining peninsula unit, this is still an exceptionally spacious room, with accessories picking up the aqua and chocolate palette of the comfortable family room, where twin sofas overlook the rear garden through further French windows.
Moving upstairs, the quality specification is evident in the oak staircase and upper landing, from where visitors will discover five beautiful bedrooms, each with their own distinctive style.
For sheer glamour and romance, head for the Master Bedroom. Soft, luxurious fabrics and delicious vanilla tones make this a classically beautiful room, with its own adjoining dressing room and en suite with bath and double shower. Rich olive and bronze hues combine with contemporary furnishings in bedroom 2, which shares a ‘jack and jill' en suite with bedroom 4, where fuchsia accessories and white furnishings make for a fun, creative and undeniably feminine space. Both of these bedrooms are large doubles with wardrobes, as is bedroom 3, decorated in an Asian-inspired style.
Then there is bedroom 5, dressed in this showhome as a study with metallic wall coverings and contemporary leather furnishings, plus the large family bathroom with bath, separate shower cubicle and vanity units. The Carnegie also has a downstairs cloakroom, utility room and a double garage which has been converted into Tulloch Homes’ marketing suite.
“This is a stunning showhome, and a fitting representation of the level of luxury and style offered by our homes,” says Theresa Barbour, Tulloch Homes Group Sales & Marketing Director. “It is at once classic, comfortable and stylish, with inspirational use of accessories, colours and textures to create a touch of personality and individuality.”
