Description
Regents Park
Offering delightful views over the fields and open landscapes of the southern edge of Fife, Regents Park brings a prestigious selection of superb new homes into an attractive traditional village setting. Located between Dunfermline and Cowdenbeath, and just a few minutes drive from the Forth Road Bridge, this peaceful development is also an immensely convenient base for commuting to the capital and beyond.
Outdoor activities
In addition to easy access to the surrounding countryside for walking or cycling, the nearby recreational facilities include the magnificent Pittencrieff Park in Dunfermline. Known locally as ‘the Glen’, it includes 76 acres of landscaped grassland with ponds, nature walks and play areas, a glasshouse and a museum, and is regularly used to host outdoor events.
Sport and leisure
Cowdenbeath has an excellent Leisure Centre, around two miles from the development, that includes both full-size and toddler pools, a health suite, an aqua-gym, fitness suite, floodlit five-a-side pitches and a small theatre. The Carnegie Leisure Centre in nearby Dunfermline is currently benefiting from a £17m redevelopment programme to provide state-of-the-art facilities, and there is a bowling club just a short stroll from the development and a wide choice of good golf courses within a few minutes drive.
Entertainment
In addition to a 540-seat theatre, Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline has a multipurpose Music Institute suite and a newly refurbished restaurant. The year-round programme covers an eclectic mixture of live music, drama, comedy and cinema, and Carnegie Hall is frequently a venue for major international touring shows. The cultural attractions of Edinburgh, with its exciting choice of theatres, multiplex and arts cinemas, museums, nightlife and restaurants, are also in easy reach for days and evenings out.
Shopping
The local shopping in Crossgates includes a newsagent around quarter of a mile from the development, and there is a post office, two pubs and a Chinese take-away in the village. The adjacent town centres of Dunfermline and Cowdenbeath offer a wide choice of retailers including supermarkets, traditional butchers and bakers and a range of speciality shops.
Transport
Crossgates is well served by bus links with neighbouring towns and there are bus stops adjacent to the development in Springhill Brae. The train stations at Dunfermline Queen Margaret and Cowdenbeath are around two miles and three miles away respectively, and both operate services to Edinburgh. Around a mile from the M90 motorway, the development is also convenient for travel to Edinburgh International Airport and the Edinburgh Park and Ride facility.
Education
Crossgates has a very good primary and nursery school catering for children aged 3 to 12 years, housed in a spacious two-storey building with an open outlook towards the Forth Bridges. There is a further choice of primary schools in Cowdenbeath. The local secondary school is Beath High, which moved into new purpose built premises in 2003. It was recently described by HM Inspectorate as providing a ‘very good’ quality of education.
Health care
Crossgates Medical Practice in Main Street is a full-time GP service with two doctors and a practice nurse. It also offers a wide range of specialist clinics. Convenient dental practices include surgeries in Cowdenbeath and Kelty.

At the next roundabout take the second exit to enter Dunfermline Road (B925), following signs for Crossgates. Half a mile on, at the traffic lights, turn right on to Main Street (B981), signposted for Inverkeithing, then after a few yards take the first left into Springhill Brae (B925) following signs for Auchtertool. The development is on the right, around a quarter of a mile on.

About Miller Homes
Our Background
We’ll keep it brief, because a lot has happened over the past seventy-five years. Around 100,000 new Miller homes, for a start. A lot of new ideas in building technology. Loads of awards, like Major Housebuilder of the Year, Large Housebuilder of the Year, Best Sustainable Development, and Private Housebuilder of the Year. That last one’s important because it’s from First Time Buyer magazine, so it’s about real people and their experiences. We won that one last year. Oh, and the year before.
But awards are about the past. The important thing is what you can expect from us in the future.
Listening to you
Four times every year, we ask an independent research company to find out whether our customers would recommend us to friends. Our current rating is 97% positive (2011 average).
That’s about more than great houses. It’s about keeping in touch, helping you find what you want, helping you buy it once you’ve found it, telling you how the building’s coming along (by email, SMS, or the post). It’s about listening, and being there if you have a question or a problem. It’s about our incentives, offers and assistance schemes (please check them out), and dedicated websites that help people in a new neighbourhood to get to know each other. Yes, we get excited by new ideas and technologies, but essentially we’re just old fashioned, home loving people.
Quality homes. In quality places.
Building homes is what we do, and we do it exceptionally well. Over the past 75 years, we’ve seen what people really like about the homes we build and, well, we build on that experience.
So you know that behind the kerb appeal there’s a structure that meets the highest professional standards. You know that the beautifully proportioned rooms are impeccably finished and decorated. You know that every detail has been checked, inspected (and admired). You know all that because of the way the door feels when you open it, the crisp clean edge of the paintwork, the way your whole home just works. That’s experience.
What you may not realise, at least until you have the pleasant surprise of seeing your fuel bills, is that we are also absolutely committed to the most environmentally friendly movements in homebuilding. This means we use low-carbon construction methods (even zero carbon on occasion) but it also means that our homes are highly energy efficient in everyday life.
And finally, location location location. Some people want country quiet, some want urban convenience. All we can do is try to find the very best spot for every taste. So we try to put urban where it’s also pretty quiet and rural where it’s also pretty convenient. And the views? Well, we can’t move mountains (and wouldn’t if we could) but we will try to make sure your new home is pointing towards one if there’s one available, and something else nice if there’s not.
Service is too small a word.
We think of it as a relationship. Even if it never gets beyond the electronic stage we’ll do our very best to help you find what you’re looking for, and do it as unobtrusively as we can. You choose the channels, and we go away when you ask us to.
When you visit one of our developments, though, we have a chance to meet properly and talk. We enjoy that. We’ll show you homes we think you might like (or ones very like them if they’re not finished yet) and tell you about special offers that might interest you.
If you decide to buy, we’ll help in every way we can. We can give you information about mortgages and lawyers if you want it, although we’re careful not to become too close to anyone working on your behalf because we don’t want any conflicts of interest. Then we’ll keep you informed as your new home is being built, and invite you round at the appropriate time to choose things like kitchen worktops and bathroom tiles. If you want to measure up for carpets and curtains, we’ll do our best to arrange things.
When you get your keys, there’s a meeting to go over all the important stuff like stopcocks and thermostats, and we’ll also leave you full instructions. But here’s the best part. We don’t go away. We’ll leave you in peace, of course, but if you need help or advice we’ll be on hand for as long as you need us. That’s the kind of relationship we like.
