Construction has started on the new collection of homes which aims to meet demand from buyers looking for two and three-bedroom properties in the sought after residential area three miles from the city centre.

The first homes will be ready for occupation from April and Claire Bathgate, head of sales at Dandara Aberdeen, is confident that there will be a lot of interest from local buyers.

Ms Bathgate said: “We have had loads of enquiries from people asking when we will be releasing smaller homes at Hazelwood as we have only had large homes to sell for quite some time.

“The new homes at Hazelwood will provide an opportunity to live close to the city whilst enjoying peaceful surroundings and easy access to the countryside. It’s such a lovely spot, it’s no surprise it’s been such a hit with buyers.”

Alongside a modern exterior featuring solar panels, the latest homes will include contemporary fitted kitchens complete with high-quality appliances, thermostatically controlled showers, landscaped front gardens and rear gardens.
