A number of properties within the new development will be for sale through Hart’s sister company, Cruden Homes and these will be the first new homes for sale in Dundee by the award winning house builder.

Craigie Fields is located on the city’s Pitairlie Road on the site of the former Mid Craigie Primary School which closed in 2009 and is both adjacent to Mid Craigie Park and close to the main Kingsway ring road (A972).

The new development will comprise 42 new homes in total of which 12 three-bedroom semi-detached homes will be for sale.

The remaining 30 properties are for rent through Angus Housing Association and will comprise a selection of two and three-bedroom homes and cottage flats. Within the mix is a six-bedroom wheelchair-friendly property, specially designed to allow householders with additional needs to continue living at home. The property layout has been created so that it can easily convert to two separate dwellings in the future if so required.

All the house styles at Craigie Fields have been designed exclusively for the location, with each home benefitting from cost saving renewable energy supplied by pv solar panels.

Hazel Davies, sales and marketing director of Cruden Homes, said: “We’re proud to be bringing new Cruden homes for sale to Dundee for the first time. Craigie Fields is a cracking development in a great location and offers excellent prospects for our first venture in the city.

“As such, it represents an important milestone as part of our ambitious growth strategy for the region.”
