Built to the standard specification, Alexander Morton Homes' model home is one of their new-style, four bedroom Goldfinches. As well as having an idyllic situation at the edge of the historic Kilmaurs village, the house also provides homebuyers with the perfect opportunity to see for themselves just how many luxuries are included in the basic price of a new home from the Ayrshire housebuilder.

‘To put it simply, we believe that luxury homes should be special,' says Operations Director Alex Benson. ‘That means our standard prices include many features which might elsewhere be offered only as ‘extras'.'

And the first impression offered to homebuyers is certainly something special: the dramatic hallway of the Goldfinch with its full-height gallery is a welcoming and light-filled space which sets the tone for this contemporary country home, where style, flexibility and practicality meet. The oak and glass finishes and generous proportions of the reception area are echoed throughout, and provide the perfect backdrop for a wide variety of decorating styles, contemporary and modern.

Step from the hallway into the spacious kitchen and you can see what Alex Benson means. Top of the range oak units from Andersons of Kilmarnock, together with the slick stainless steel dual fuel range cooker and hood from Neff, confirm the feeling of serious quality and understated luxury.

‘Because we fit a top of the range kitchen as standard,' says Development Manager, Jim Malcolm, ‘that means our homebuyers can choose almost any style from the entire range. And that includes a choice of granite or Corian worktops. This all adds up to a highly personalised dream kitchen at no extra cost.'

‘We want each home we build for someone to be truly individual, ‘ says Jim. ‘That's why I take personal charge of viewings, so that people can get a full idea of the options available.'

‘And choice is not restricted to kitchen styles or bathroom suites…we can change layouts too.'

The double oak glazed doors lead from the kitchen to the 8.4 metre x 4.2 metre, dining lounge with patio doors to the garden: perfect for parties and effortless summer entertaining. ‘Here, in the model home we've got a fantastic open living space,' says Jim. ‘But some homebuyers prefer to have two separate rooms. We can do that. We're here to build people the homes they want.'
