With its idyllic coastlines, rugged mountains and calm countryside, Aberdeenshire is a place that inspires — and throughout history many stories have been written about its places and people. A stylish development of contemporary homes with an integrated town park greenspace at its centre, Park View at Midmill represents a new story for the Aberdeenshire town of Kintore.
Located just a short drive from nearby Inverurie and half an hour from Aberdeen, moving to Park View is an opportunity to escape city life while remaining convenient and connected for work, schools and major amenities — with rural Aberdeenshire’s ancient landscapes and sense of adventure right on your doorstep too.

LOCATION
In the heart of Aberdeenshire, between the busy town of Inverurie and the silver city of Aberdeen, Kintore has been a great place to live for generations. It’s moved with the times too — opening new schools, businesses, amenities and homes as its popularity grows. With the Aberdeenshire coast’s much-loved beaches and the Cairngorms National Park both less than an hour away, Park View couldn’t be better placed for enjoying all that this region of Scotland has to offer.

KINTORE AND BEYOND
An Aberdeenshire town with a fascinating history, Kintore is a place where people have always felt at home.
The road to Kintore from any direction offers an abundance of green rolling fields, scenic woodland and places to visit along the way. These range from farmto-table favourites like Marshall’s Farm Shop and Forest Farm Dairy, to the various hiking trails and beauty spots that are waiting to be discovered nearby.
As a former royal burgh and Roman settlement, with history dating back to the Bronze Age, Kintore certainly has deep roots. It is well-placed for the route of the Aberdeenshire Castle Trail — with Castle Fraser, Garden
and Estate just a short drive away and the ruins of Hallforest Castle within walking distance of Park View at Midmill.
Families are well-served by a number of local schools and nurseries — including Midmill Primary, Kintore Primary and local secondary school, Kemnay Academy.
Food and drink in Kintore ranges from friendly spots like The Crafty Cafe to popular local restaurants The Square and 1911 Bar & Restaurant, located at Kintore Golf Club.

ACTIVE LIFESTYLES
Whether you’re sporty by nature or simply enjoy keeping busy and active, Kintore and the surrounding area offers a great selection of facilities, clubs and venues for you to enjoy.
TOP OF MITHER TAP, BENNACHIE
The oldest and best-used exercise facility in the area is, of course, the great Scottish outdoors. There are an abundance of walking routes, hiking trails and invigorating climbs to choose from nearby, and popular local hiking spots include Tyrebagger Hill (and its stunning views from the ‘Tappie Tower’), Kemnay’s Place of Origin viewpoint and the iconic Bennachie peaks of Oxen Craig and Mither Tap.
Just a short walk from Park View at Midmill is something of a hidden Aberdeenshire gem. Garioch Gymnastics Club is an official Scottish Gymnastics registered fulltime gymnastics facility that has equipment and classes suitable for everyone – from tiny tots, to beginner adults, to competitive gymnasts of all ages.
If you’re interested in learning new skills and disciplines in a safe, family-friendly environment, Kintore TaekwonDo School is a great choice for learners of all ages and skill levels, and other martial arts options nearby include Inverurie Boxing Club, Saltire Martial Arts and Nemesis Kickboxing Academy.

KINTORE GOLF CLUB
Aberdeenshire truly is ‘golf country’, and golfers will find a new home at Kintore Golf Club — a truly picturesque parkland course with challenging tree-lined holes and criss-crossing burns. Other golf options in the local area include Craibstone Golf, The Pine Lodge Golf Centre and the renowned Newmachar Golf Club, to name but a few.
Between April and October each year, a sociable weekly Wednesday ‘Health Walk’ takes place, lasting for roughly an hour and finishing with tea/coffee and a biscuit. This typifies the relaxed and welcoming community spirit that’s alive and well here, for all ages.
In nearby Inverurie, there are even more active facilities to choose from — including Skyline Trampoline Park, Inverurie Community Campus (with 25m swimming pool) and the popular Garioch Sports Centre, which features gym facilities, sports hall, dance studio, squash court and outdoor football pitches.
ABERDEEN: GRANITE CITY, BRIGHT FUTURE
The third most populated city in Scotland, Aberdeen’s reputation as an historic port city and North Sea energy sector hub is well earned — but this only tells part of the story.
Kintore is located just beyond the outskirts of the city, meaning Park View is perfectly placed for the peaceful calm of the Aberdeenshire countryside while still keeping connected to a forward-thinking city with lots to offer.
The modern ‘Granite City’ is home to thriving local enterprise, an ever-evolving cultural scene and a sense of exciting possibility. Visitors can uncover hidden street art gems around every corner — with new artworks created each year during the Nuart Aberdeen festival.
Fans of theatre, music and art will find much to enjoy — including Aberdeen Arts Centre, His Majesty’s Theatre,
Aberdeen Music Hall and Aberdeen Art Gallery — and, just 7 miles from Kintore, the state-of-the-art arena venue P&J Live has hosted the likes of Lewis Capaldi, Michael Bublé, Disney on Ice and BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
The city is also home to many great restaurants — including Six by Nico on Union Street and top seafood restaurant The Silver Darling, located at the harbour mouth. Award-winning local craft beer brands like Fierce Beer, BrewDog and six°north are a mainstay of the city too, so beer aficionados will always be spoilt for choice in Aberdeen.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
CREATING AN EFFICIENT HOME
Taking practical, effective steps to lower energy consumption and reduce our overall carbon footprint is smart thinking — both for the planet and for household bills. From design and construction to the installation of heating and hot water systems, energy efficiency is considered at every stage of Scotia communities.
NEW BUILD BUYERS SAVE £2K+ IN ENERGY BILLS
A Home Builders Federation report* published in 2024 found that an average new build buyer will reduce their annual carbon emissions by over 2 tonnes per property. In practical terms, the report found that new build owners can save almost £2000 in energy bills each year, compared to older properties.
With these efficiencies in mind, Scotia will fit a “wet” system using an air source heat pump with thermostatically controlled radiators throughout all properties.
Each home will have a simple energy saving meter installed as standard — allowing you to see actual electricity consumption in real time. On average, these result in 10-20% self-imposed reductions in energy usage.
AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS, SOLAR PANELS AND EV CHARGING
Air source heat pumps will be installed in all homes at Park View. Air-to-water heat pumps transfer energy from the outside air into homes. The outdoor unit will exchange energy from the outdoor air and with the help of the refrigerant cycle, it releases the energy at a higher temperature to generate space heating and hot water.
Some benefits include:
- Longer lifespans than traditional boilers
- Work regardless of outside temperature
- Save money on energy bills
- Efficient all year round
In keeping with the forward-thinking, contemporary approach that defines this development, photo-voltaic (solar) panels will also be included on the roofs of all homes. An electric vehicle (EV) charger will also be installed in all homes.

KEEPING YOU CONNECTED
With superfast fibre optic broadband straight to your home (FTTP). From streaming television and family facetimes, to controlling home security and heating, the need to stay digitally connected has become an integral part of our daily lives.
WHY IS FTTP BETTER THAN FTTC?
With Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), the fibre optic cables go straight into your home, there is no drop off in internet speed caused by sharing the connection with neighbours, or being further away from the on-street cabinet. It is up to 10 times faster than Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) and is also very resilient as there is less exposure in terms of connection being harmed by water or chemicals.
DOES FTTP COST MORE?
The installation costs for FTTP can be prohibitive as it is more expensive to install than FTTC, which is why it is not readily available in the UK. However, at Park View, the installation is paid and complete by the time you move into your new home.
Ongoing monthly broadband costs will not cost more just because your home has FTTP, it will be as per the standard rate of your chosen broadband supplier.

FACTORING
IT’S NICE TO HAVE THINGS TAKEN CARE OF
A professional property manager - or factor - works for every owner in a development: organising tradespeople for repairs and maintenance; including cleaning, gardening and grass cutting in common areas.
WHAT IS A FACTOR’S FUNCTION?
We appoint the right factor for your development. The factor will make decisions on your behalf and organise the work for you. Remember that you can let the factor know about any work you think needs to be done.
HOW IS THE FACTOR PAID?
An invoice for your share of maintenance and management fees is normally issued either quarterly or six-monthly.
WHAT IS A FLOAT?
It’s important a factor can pay for work promptly when required. A float paid by each property owner at settlement allows the factor to do this without the heavy burden of expense. Prompt payments ensure the best contractors are keen to do work for your development. This can be recovered if you decide to sell your property.
WHO DETERMINES HOW MUCH THE OWNERS PAY INTO THE FUND?
Each owner is a member of the residents association. How much the owners pay into the fund is discussed at the residents association or executive committee meetings. Normally quotes for work are agreed first. From this, an educated estimate can be made.
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF A MAJOR MAINTENANCE FUND?
By saving up for major works, you don’t have large invoices to settle. A debt can be spread over the development, so the money is available before the work starts.
WHAT IS A MAJOR MAINTENANCE FUND?
A Major Maintenance Fund is normally set aside to ‘save up’ for larger maintenance items authorised by the owners within the development.
WILL THE FACTOR RUN UP LARGE BILLS?
No. Don’t worry. The factor will have the authority to carry out work to the communal areas provided that the anticipated cost of any one item doesn’t exceed that amount. This limit can be exceeded in an emergency. Otherwise, estimates will be obtained and distributed. Instructions will be taken from you and your neighbours or the residents association representing you before any extraordinary works are carried out. If payments are required in advance, you will always be notified.
