Potential first-time buyers may be tempted to purchase a home in Falkirk after a number of deals have been announced by housebuilder Charles Church.

Anyone who moves into the firm's Antonine Gardens development before Christmas has the chance to obtain a number of benefits such as free carpets and turf, paid stamp duty, a cash discount or the chance to part-exchange their existing property.

Benefits of living in Falkirk include traditional architecture, local amenities and good transport links to Edinburgh as well as Stirling.

The development is surrounded by countryside and Charles Church notes that each home benefits from large, open spaces and is built to a high standard.

Prices on the houses at the site, which was named after a nearby Roman wall - begin at £235,000.

Elsewhere in the region the firm recently announced the availability of a number of properties on its De Quincey Court development in the capital, with prices beginning at £321,000.
