HOUSE-HUNTERS who want to live close to the city centre in Aberdeen

are being invited to visit a Stewart Milne Homes development where the

first homes are being released for sale.

Belmont Mews is located near Ashgrove Road in one of Aberdeen's

popular residential areas and offers a choice of, flats, semis, villas,

and bungalows, with allocated car parking and attractive landscaping

already planned.

Stewart Milne's divisional director, Donald McInnes, says: ''The one

and two-bedroom flats will be popular with young professionals who want

the convenience of being close to their place of work. The two and

three-bedroom semi-detached and detached villas and bungalows will

appeal to families and retired couples looking for good local amenities

which can be easily reached by foot or bus.''

Prices start at #51,950 for a one-bedroom flat and rise to around

#76,250 for a three-bedroom detached villa. All the homes will benefit

from central heating, double glazing, smoke detector s, fully fitted

kitchens and a full NHBC 10-year warranty. The first home will be ready

for occupation in spring 1995.

''Over a dozen homes have already been reserved since the development

was officially launched and we are receiving a large number of enquiries

each week, especially from people connected with the hospital or

university, as it is convenient for them,'' says Donald McInnes.
