A new Stewart Milne housing development in Stonehaven has been recognised as one of the UK’s best.

Stewart Milne Homes’ Dunnottar Park claimed gold in the “best design for three storeys or fewer” category at the Housebuilder Awards 2022.

More than 700 people attended the awards ceremony in London last week.

Judges were impressed with the development’s attention to detail in both internal and external finishes – with Stewart Milne Homes saying they had aimed to create a traditional design with a contemporary feel.

The houses reflect the style of old farm buildings and all of the homes are finished with clad and brick exteriors to complement the rural surroundings.

Layout incorporates latest placemaking principles

Judges were also impressed by the high-quality of the outdoor environment at the development, which includes a new country park and landscaped walks that surround it, as well as pocket parks and play areas.

The layout of the development incorporates measures to slow traffic speeds and a safer and healthier environment.

‘Dunnottar Park is a truly unique development’

Marketing director Peter Best said: “Dunnottar Park is a truly unique development and we are very proud to have established a new community that is recognised as best in class.

“The creation of a country park and landscaped areas has been a huge benefit to our residents, helping to create a bespoke community that blends seamlessly with the local characteristics and surroundings.

“Receiving national recognition for Dunnottar Park is a fantastic way to celebrate the outstanding work delivered by the Stewart Milne Homes team.”
