A NEW home in Dunbar has been named as the best house in Scotland at the Scottish Home Awards.

The four-bedroom detached Jacobson Garden Room property at housebuilder Robertson Homes’ Newton Manor development won the award for House of the Year at an awards dinner held at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Glasgow Central.

Independently-owned Robertson Homes also retained the most prestigious title of the awards, winning Housebuilder of the Year for the second consecutive year, with the judges praising Robertson’s high-quality, sustainable builds and successful land acquisitions.

John Murphy, managing director of Robertson Homes, said: “After the recognition last year we have continued to deliver the very best in class and we are proud to be named Housebuilder of the Year for the second year running.

“Also winning the award for House of the Year solidifies Robertson’s position as a leader in the industry.
