Easy Living Homes have created a legacy development blending old and new to create characterful but highly sustainable homes.
Having created a brand that stands for some of the most unique newbuild family homes on the market, the company based in Glenrothes has just one apartment left to sell at its Forth Park Residences development in Kirkcaldy. This development included the redevelopment of the grade B listed former mansion house and mews buildings.
Priced at £179,000, the remaining property is a one-bedroom ground floor apartment in the mansion house. Following a comprehensive “labour of love” conversion of Fife’s former Maternity Hospital the listed frontage was retained, and detailed stonework and original features were restored and brought back to life.
A total of nine apartments have been created – six in the main building, and three which have incorporated a part of the existing building with a modern rear extension. This replaced an older dilapidated extension that previously housed staff catering facilities.
High ceilings, sound proofing, and insulation, together with carefully sourced timber sash and case windows, ensure that the period living will be brought up to date. Ticking the box for future sustainability, heating and hot water for all the properties at Forth Park Residences, is supplied by state-of-the-art Mitsubishi air source heat pumps.
The whole Forth Park development of some 55 properties is now almost completely sold out, with just one the one apartment still available.
Easy Living Homes Sales Manager, Karen Cameron said: “We are delighted to have sold so well here at Forth Park Residences.
“In many ways, this incredible development, the result of years of careful planning, skilled craftsmanship, and first-class design, has created a lasting legacy not only for us, but for the people of Kirkcaldy, as we have been able to give the beautiful Mansion House, which had been badly fire damaged in the past, a new lease of life as characterful housing.
“Living in the Mansion House combines modern technology and high specifications, with the individuality of a listed exterior.
“This final one-bedroom apartment, boasting a spacious shower room with a large walk-in dual head shower, at the affordable price of just £179k, really is prospective buyers’ final opportunity to purchase a ‘new’ property here. It’s a charming home, with its own private garden that offers a spacious open plan layout, with a stunning German kitchen, complete with NEFF appliances, at its heart.
“It also features our signature natural wood finishes throughout, oak veneer doors and large fitted wardrobes in the bedroom.”
Buyers will find plenty of interesting nooks and crannies which can be used as storage space and display areas. This last one-bedroom apartment features recessed window sills in the bedroom looking out over the turfed private garden.
