An exclusive collection of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes set within a sought after suburb of Aberdeen
1
A wonderful place to call home Charleston has been designed to provide an attractive, and fitting extension to the fishing town of Cove. The development takes into account the coastal feel, with neutral colours, and quaint designs throughout. As a town with a strong sense of community, continuing this theme throughout the development was extremely important when designing Charleston.
2
As a result, the development boasts a brand new high street, large community open green spaces, and even a football pitch, all to promote the strong community ethos which is already apparent in the town of Cove. The development will also feature linking paths and walkways which connect the new development to the existing town’s high street, and further onto the beautiful north east coast.

Nothing beats coming home to Charleston Once a sleepy fishing village, now a thriving suburb to the south of Aberdeen, Cove offers both beautiful coastal scenery and village lifestyle, yet is within minutes of the city centre of Aberdeen, the perfect spot for those seeking the best of both worlds. At Stewart Milne Homes, we never forget that a home isn’t just where you live, it’s how you live. And that moving to a new home is a fresh, exciting start – and often one of life’s most exciting moments.
That’s why this brochure includes not only the details you’d expect – sizes, specifications and styles – but also shows something of the life you’ll live at Charleston. After all, this isn’t a sales brochure. This is your new home.

Your new neighbourhood Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the north east coast, and situated just to the west of the picturesque old fishing village of Cove - this is a wonderful place to call home.

Charleston nestles to the east of Wellington Road, and just to the west of the town of Cove, with swift access to the A90, linking you easily to the North or South. Life at Charleston is suited to both those in search of an excellent commuter suburb, with plenty modern amenities on the doorstep, as well as those in search of the tranquillity this old coastal town has to offer, with plenty of rural and coastal walks which link up directly with the development. The beauty of Cove is, that while you can be in Aberdeen city centre within minutes, standing in your garden, breathing in the sea air, you really feel as though you are miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The town of Cove is far from lacking in terms of its own amenities, with the Cove shopping centre offering a supermarket,
pharmacist, takeaway restaurants, as well as the popular Cove Bay Hotel, which is a popular haunt with the locals as well as those from further a field, for a sociable evening out. Community spirit is everywhere in Cove, be it supporting one of the two football teams belonging to Cove on a weekend, or attending one of the many community run events, such as the Christmas parade, or the summer gala, a strong sense of community is certainly evident here.
For those working in the popular industrial estates of Altens and Tullos, Charleston at Cove is the ideal spot to set up home. Charleston is a 5 minute car journey from both Altens and Cove, whilst the city centre can be reached in 10-15 minutes. In terms of public transport, the area is served by 3 different bus routes, all linking with the city centre.

The development features many areas of open space for socialising, and even offers paths throughout the development which offer links to the surrounding community. The varied selection of house types are all spacious, light, and designed with contemporary living in mind. All houses include well-planned living
areas for entertaining, combined with high specification kitchens that have integrated appliances in most homes as well as an excellent choice of styles to be the centre of your home.

Utility room A place for every utility, with everything in its place. Space for washing machine and tumble dryer. One master switch controls all appliances and an extractor fan keeps the air fresh.

“After seeing my friend’s house, I visited the show home and really liked it, so much so I’ve gone for the same design. It’s nice and light and has a big living space. I was living in a two-bed flat before, so to go from that to a three-bedroom house with a garden is great. My daughter plays outside all the time now.” – Richard Mahan, The Fairways

10 year warranty. High ratings for moneysaving energy efficiency. Plus great offers and assistance to make your move easy and affordable. With Stewart Milne Homes, there’s never been a better time to buy.
ENJOY PIECE OF MIND Buying a new home eliminates the need to do any renovations, repairs or DIY, meaning you can spend more time with family and friends, doing all the things you really enjoy. All our homes come with a 10 year NHBC warranty providing you with peace of mind which those buying a second hand property simply do not have.
BRAND NEW MEANS A BLANK CANVAS
LESS CHAIN MEANS LESS ISSUES
BE PART OF A NEW COMMUNITY
You can move into your new home as soon as it is complete; there is no need to wait for existing residents to vacate. This reduces the chain, stress and uncertainty associated with buying a second hand property.
Moving to a brand new home is an opportunity to make new friends and be part of an emerging community.
DESIGNED TO SUIT MODERN LIFESTYLES Our homes are built to make use of every inch of space. Research shows 17% of living space in older style properties often goes unused. Our homes provide flexible living space whatever your needs.
Everything in a new home is clean and untouched by previous owners – it’s like buying a brand new car and driving it out of the showroom. Our homes are decorated in ‘neutral’ colours giving you a blank canvas to stamp your own style and personality on from day one.
Our neighbourhoods are designed and built with people in mind and with everybody starting from scratch, getting to know your neighbours is easy.
