HOMES that are part of a new eco-friendly development on a former derelict site in Dunfermline are due to completed by August.

Three four-bedroomed homes and one five-bedroomed house are being built at 37 Townhill Road, at the corner of Methven Drive, where Hillpark House used to stand.

Premier Homes Scotland – owned by husband and wife Steve and Carol Williams – has completed the first two high-end properties on the site with a strong focus on sustainability.

Thanks to a six-figure funding package from the Bank of Scotland, each property is equipped with solar panels, under-floor heating, high-efficiency boilers and thicker insulation.

The business has now announced plans to build a second eight-home development in Dunfermline with further details to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Steve Williams, managing director at Premier Homes Scotland, said: “Over the past few years, there’s been a real surge in demand for sustainable homes.

"Our ambition is to help homeowners in Fife achieve exactly that with a range of eco-friendly properties.

“The support from Bank of Scotland has been a massive boost and critical in helping us to achieve this goal.

"With the funding, we’ve been able to fit the homes with a range of cutting-edge, energy-efficient features and ensure a low-carbon footprint for these properties.”

Louise Fraser, relationship manager at Bank of Scotland, said: “The pandemic has forced many people to reconsider where they are living and more people are searching for additional space for home offices or gardens as they embrace home-working.

“Many people are consequently searching for properties outside the city and Fife has become an increasingly-popular destination for many, making this new development incredibly timely.

“It has been a pleasure to support Premier Homes Scotland with their sustainable development in Dunfermline and we look forward to working with them again in the near future to further their sustainable ambitions.”
