INTERIOR DESIGNERS IN “THE MARKET” FOR SOME STYLISH INSPIRATION

As it appeals to its mix of buyers at The Market, Bonnyrigg, its latest development of luxury apartments and townhouses, MNM Developments (Scot) Ltd, has revealed the design story behind the two showhomes which opened to the public earlier in the year.

The Market offers two bedroom apartments priced from £215,995, together with three bedroom terraced and semi detached townhouses, available from £299,995.

For the first time, MNM Developments have used Edinburgh based interior design firm, “Get Fully Furnished” to come up with the type of impressive interiors which would do justice to its brand. They were tasked with fitting out both the two bedroom show apartment at The Market, and the three bedroom semi detached showhome.

Commenting on the project, Director Ronnie Kennedy said: “We were absolutely delighted to hear from MNM Developments (Scot) Ltd at The Market, and to work with them on this exciting project. We knew a lot about the company from the various builds they had completed in and around the Capital. Their discerning, award winning brand is a perfect fit with what we try to achieve for our clients. We believe that the design, furniture and overall look we specified in both properties suited The Market’s target audience in conveying a lifestyle to suit.”

Ronnie explained that his brief was to highlight The Market’s contemporary properties to appeal to a mixed range of buyers, offering a luxury look, but in a way that reflected the development’s contemporary fixtures and fittings.

“We targeted the three bedroom semi-detached showhome towards a young family, using a popular scandi inspired theme, with bright colours and soft, touchy feely textures. We made the most of the space in the property by clearly defining each area, especially the large open plan living area and the dining space in the kitchen. We loved the large windows on the lower floor which flooded the property with light – such an important aspect in design,” he said.

A design to suit young professionals was the order of the day for the two bed penthouse show property at The Market, where an eye catching Charcoal, Grey and Navy colour pallet, with a punch of bright orange, took centre stage.

“We added a real lux feel to this property with some lovely dark wood pieces with rich grains,” said Ronnie. “The open plan living space was an absolutely fantastic space to work with, and had a lovely flow between the kitchen, dining and living space. Whether sitting on the sofa relaxing, or entertaining with friends, the views from this area are incredible.”

Said MNM Developments (Scot) Ltd Director, Michaela Teague: “We are delighted with these two showhomes which have already been greatly admired. Ronnie and his team have done a great job. Even before lockdown we had put a virtual tour online which could be accessed by all prospective buyers to discover our layouts and specification. It really came into its own when buyers couldn’t visit us directly, and was a very successful selling tool for us right through the Spring.”

Features of the three bedroom townhouses at The Market, which look onto a pleasing landscaped courtyard, are private south west facing rear gardens, together with private driveways to the front. Highly practical modern homes, these properties have large living/dining rooms with a separate kitchen. A downstairs cloakroom is also included, along with three separate storage cupboards.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which have fitted wardrobes, with the master bedroom en-suite. An additional bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor, together with a convenient large attic storage space.

All properties at The Market feature a superb “as standard” specification, including luxury fitted kitchens with built in Indesit appliances. Quality hardwood flooring is provided throughout the communal areas, with carpeting in the bedrooms. Solid oak doors are provided, along with fitted bespoke wardrobes, and beautifully designed bathrooms and en-suites with Porcelanosa tiling throughout.

MNM Developments (Scot) Ltd will currently pay the LBTT of £2,499 with every purchase of a three bedroom townhouse at The Market, to further aid buyers with their purchase.
