The couple reserved a four-bedroom detached family house, and after living in a two-bedroom flat with a shared garden, it was wonderful to have so much space to call their own, especially during the continuing lockdown restrictions. As soon as restrictions lifted last summer, we started looking for somewhere where we could recreate the New Zealand lifestyle which we had loved and with family in East Lothian – North Berwick was an obvious choice,”Īs soon as the couple saw Dandara’s Barley Brae development, they knew it ticked all the boxes for them: “We fell in love with the house straight away – it had loads of light, a lovely big garden, and was bright and spacious with a high specification.” “We were in a lovely flat in Edinburgh with a puppy and we realised that we didn’t actually need to be there anymore. “We had always considered making a move out to North Berwick eventually, but lockdown last year really made us reassess our lifestyle and so we have probably made the move four years earlier than we had originally planned.” says Tom. This time, however, they didn’t have to go to the other side of the world – they found just what they were looking at Dandara’s Barley Brae development, just half an hour away in North Berwick – East Lothian. After previously living in New Zealand for several years, Tom Crombie, 36, and his partner Helen Singleton, 31, longed to leave the bustle of city centre life in Edinburgh behind and reclaim the active, outdoor lifestyle that they had once so much enjoyed.
