In a recent visit to the project within his constituency, Mr Cole-Hamilton was invited to tour Craigiehall Meadows, formally Craigiehall Barracks, viewing homes at both the Hillside Road and Riverside areas of the development.

Led by Ralph Sayer and situated on the northwest edge of Edinburgh, the development has attracted strong buyer interest, with more than half of the first phase already sold.

Mr Cole-Hamilton, MSP for Edinburgh Western said; “One thing that’s absolutely vital is new housing, but it’s intelligent new housing that we need. 

“In West Edinburgh, we’ve had our fill of a proliferation of new housing developments and without much thought from developers about what that means for schools or roads or health infrastructure.

“What I love about the Craigiehall Meadows development is that they are lovingly restoring 1960s housing to the highest specification possible, so that they’ll have a new lease of life where families will enjoy them for decades to come.

“So, it’s been a great privilege to visit to see these houses come on in the way they are, and I’m really grateful for the opportunity.”

The Riverside area of the development is set to feature a mix of 21 four-bedroom and six five-bedroom detached homes, all designed with modern living in mind and offering private driveways, off-street parking, and garages.

Primrose will comprise eight five-bedroom detached homes, each benefiting from generous plots, dedicated parking, and secure garage space.

Tzana Webster, head of estate agency at Ralph Sayer, said: “Our team has been in regular contact with Mr Cole-Hamilton, so it was a pleasure to finally welcome him on-site and showcase the progress we’ve made in breathing new life into these homes for future residents.

“With new homeowners now settling into Hillside Road, we expect this phase of the development to be fully sold out by the end of the quarter.

“As we move into the next stage, our focus is on finalising the show homes at Riverside and Primrose, preparing them for viewings.

“Given the incredible demand we’ve already experienced, we’re confident these homes will be just as sought after, if not more, than those at Hillside Road.”
