West Mill by Persimmon Homes · West Mill, West Mill Road, Markinch, Fife KY7 6ZU

West Mill is a new build homes development by Persimmon Homes, located on West Mill Road in the village of Markinch, Fife (KY7 6ZU). This site offers a selection of two, three, and four-bedroom new build homes, catering to a range of buyers from first-time homeowners to growing families and commuters. Properties available include terraced, end-terrace, semi-detached, detached, and three-storey house types.

The development features a variety of house styles, such as the three-bedroom 'Newmore' end-terrace, which is specifically designed with a modern, open-plan kitchen/dining room featuring French doors that open to the garden. This house type also includes a separate front-facing lounge, a downstairs cloakroom, under-stairs storage, and a master bedroom with an en-suite facility. Purchasers can inquire about potential upgrade options for features like kitchen appliances or bedroom wardrobes directly with the developer. For buyer assurance, Persimmon Homes holds a 5-star builder status from the Home Builder's Federation (HBF), meaning over 90% of their customers would recommend them. However, prospective buyers should conduct thorough due diligence, as online customer feedback regarding build quality and post-completion snags on some of their developments has been mixed.
