A company that’s quite appropriately named ‘Enterprise Homes’ is  building 27 houses in Fife that are no ordinary homes. The properties have been designed with the home business owner in mind and offer a full first floor work area and ground floor reception. Oh, to be in Fife.

Announcing a new development

According to their press release:

“Fife based Enterprise Homes is taking running a business from home to a whole new level with the launch of its Bowhill View development in the village of Cardenden. Homes with office accommodation – and consent to operate businesses from the premises – are relatively commonplace in the market, but the business space can be relatively small with perhaps a shared entrance into both home and work premises for owners and customers. Businesses whose work would usually require separate premises for storage of stock; adequate room for a number of workstations and sheer floor space in which to operate are seldom catered for and many new businesses have to rent costly commercial premises.

All that is set to change at Bowhill View where buyers will find luxurious and spacious four bedroom homes which offer both a downstairs study/office or reception area with its own door and an upstairs work space with its own cloakroom and enough room and data points for nine work stations. And with a strong nod towards greener living, the homes at Bowhill offer the occupants a reduced carbon footprint and significantly lower heating costs through an efficient under floor heating system.”

Catering to all tastes

According to Managing Director of Enterprise Homes, Sandy Jack:

“There is nothing like this on the market at the moment and we are confident that we are offering a real solution to people who often have to compromise on their living space when running a business from home or pay out for costly premises which can be some distance from where they live.”

He added: “As well as the upstairs workspace, there is the downstairs reception area which makes it ideal for businesses that may require a separate area for clients to wait such as beauty therapists, hairdressers or dog groomers. The upstairs space would also make an ideal dance studio, art or workroom or accommodate desk based businesses such as accountants, business advisors, architects or graphic designers.”

We’ll be watching this development with great interest. And hope to profile one of the first home businesses to move in. Maybe they’ll invite us to the house/business warming!
