Five-star house builder Cruden Homes and partner Mactaggart & Mickel have unveiled the stunning new 4-bedroom Leven show home at Longthorn Gardens, the highly anticipated new development in the heart of Shawfair - one of Scotland’s best connected new towns. The show home is now open for visitors, offering a glimpse into the stylish, high spec living the development provides.
Designed by Eileen Kesson at Envision Contemporary Interiors, the Leven show home combines a superb specification, a touch of luxury and a thoughtfully planned layout ideal for family life.
The bright and spacious lounge provides the perfect space to relax or entertain, while the open-plan kitchen and dining room with French doors fills the home with natural light. Just off the kitchen, a utility room and WC add to the practicality of the layout. Upstairs, four bedrooms with generous storage ensure a place for everything, with the main bedroom enjoying the luxury of an en-suite.
Eileen Kesson, Director at Envision Contemporary Interiors, said: "We wanted to create a home that reflects the lifestyle of the diverse mix of families moving to Shawfair. Working with the needs of modern families in mind, the show home blends light, crisp interiors with a warm stone base and subtle black accents to maintain a contemporary, on-trend look that still feels welcoming and relaxed.
Influenced by the Japandi style, it features a natural, organic colour palette of pale oak and light linen finishes, complemented by a playful mix of textures and geometric detailing. From fun children’s murals, including an underwater sea-life theme and oversized Marimekko daisies, to sustainable fabrics made from bamboo and recycled fibres, every detail has been carefully considered to combine style with comfort and practicality."
The development offers 116 high-quality homes and apartments, ranging from two-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom homes, with sizes from 731 sq ft to 1,700 sq ft. Prices start from £232,500, with the first properties expected to be ready in early 2026.
Jenny Harvie-Miller, Head of Group Communications & Engagement at Mactaggart & Mickel, said: “Shawfair offers the best of both worlds, combining easy access to the city with the calm and space of village life. At Longthorn Gardens, a diverse collection of high-quality homes styles has been carefully designed to suit buyers at every stage of life, all within easy reach of everyday amenities. Our impressive new showhome offers a glimpse into what life here could be like, showcasing homes created for modern living and a community designed to grow with its residents.”
Hazel Davies, Sales and Marketing Director at Cruden Homes, said: “The new show home is truly striking, and I know prospective buyers are going to be wowed by the interior styling, specification and impressive ceiling heights. Homes here are in high demand, so I’d encourage anyone interested to book a viewing soon. We can’t wait to welcome people to the community and help them find their next home."
Sustainability is central to the development, with homes featuring the Vattenfall district heating system, energy-efficient specifications, and high-quality materials, ensuring a cost-conscious and environmentally responsible lifestyle.
Eileen Kesson added some advice for homeowners looking to bring show home style into their own homes: "Take your time collecting ideas, creating a moodboard, and exploring different palettes and textures before committing. Always step back and look at the house as a whole to create flow and harmony. A connected interior makes the journey through the home enjoyable – and it’s something that works just as well in your own home."
The sales & marketing suite is open Thursday to Monday, 10am to 5pm, with appointments available online or in person.
