Done up to be bright and contemporary ● This is exactly the kind of house that busy modern families will be attracted to. Not only has it been done up and finished to a good standard, with a contemporary and bright feel, it’s also close to several major employees and to main road and rail transport links. Meanwhile, the front garden has been turned over to provide off-street parking in addition to spaces available at the rear of the property along with the garage. Completing the picture is the back garden, which is partly paved (and this section is enclosed by a picket fence) and partly lawn. Accommodation centres on the

entrance hall, off which is a cloakroom, with a white suite. The wooden floor laid in the hall also appears in one of the two reception room, and in the kitchen/diner, plus the master bedroom upstairs. In the main reception room is a beige carpet, a bay window and a
fireplace, while the cream painted walls in here represent a theme that is repeated throughout. With something of a wow factor, the kitchen/diner is smart and contemporary, with wooden units and pale work surfaces, including a breakfast bar that’s big enough to seat four people on stools. Built-in appliances include a double oven, hob and dishwasher, with further space available for a fridge/freezer, while beyond the breakfast bar is room enough for a table and chairs. The laundry room is fitted with units matching the kitchen, plus a work surface and sink, with space
for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There’s access to the garden from here, too. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, the master including modern, built-in wardrobes and an en suite with a double shower
cubicle. The suite here, and in the main bathroom, where there’s also a separate shower cubicle, is white. A bonus is the 27ft 5in loft room, where the head height is restricted but natural light floods in through a skylight.

Help to Buy brings ‘forever homes’ closer House builder Crest Nicholson says the Government’s Help to Buy scheme has increased the size of properties that first-time buyers can afford. Previously, many were restricted small properties – often apartments – with just one or two bedrooms and little or no outdoor space. However, Help to Buy, which requires just a five per cent deposit, is enabling budgets to stretch, and many can now afford a three or four-bedroom house with a garden as their first purchase. The scheme is also providing first-time buyers with more choice over where they live. In a nutshell, says Crest, Help to Buy cuts the number of steps on the housing ladder that must be taken before the purchase of a “forever” home is within reach.
Flexible ideas for move to village
L
inden Homes is tempting buyers to its Mendip Gate development in the Somerset village of Kilmersdon with a range of flexible moving schemes. Part Exchange, Assisted Move and Help to Buy are all available at the development, which consists of nine detached and semi-detached, three- and four-bedroom homes priced from £360,000. On the edge of the Mendip Hills but within easy access of Bath, Bristol and Wells, Kil-
‘Tremendous interest’ in Mendip homes
EPB-E01-S3
Barratt is gearing up to launch its new development in Wells – and is expecting business to be brisk. Sales director Andrea Pilgrim explained that a lack of new homes in Wells had led to a “tremendous interest in Cathedral Walk ahead of the October launch”. She continued: “Interest has been so high since we confirmed details of the new development that we have started taking reservations from our Houndwood development in nearby Street,’’ said Andrea. “We’ve found pent-up demand for brand new homes and we’ve just unveiled images of how the homes will look, which has ignited interest still further.” Barratt will be offering 88 two, three and four-bedroom homes at Cathedral Walk, on the site of the former Clare’s factory. Three and four-bedroom designs are available in the first phase. For more details, call 0844 5710 385.
mersdon has a church, pub, primary and secondary schools nearby. With Assisted Move, purchasers can buy a new home at Mendip Gate and Linden will sell theirs, deal with the estate agents and pay the fees. Alternatively, with Part Exchange, Linden becomes a guaranteed cash buyer, so movers can buy and sell in one easy step, with no chain and no estate agent fees. Under Help to Buy, the Government provides an interest-free loan for five years of up to 20 per cent of the property value. This means that,
with a deposit of five per cent, a new home can be secured with a 75 per cent mortgage. At Mendip Gate, Help to Buy is available on The Willows, three-bedroom homes which can be secured with a five per cent deposit of £18,000. The Government loan can be repaid at any time or on the sale of the property and is open to all qualifying home buyers of new-build properties in England up to the value of £600,000 – not just first-time buyers. For details, call 0844 4881250 or visit www.lindenhomes.co.uk/mendip.
Among Crest’s developments where Help to Buy is available is Westerleigh Mews in Yate, South Gloucestershire, pictured above. It’s a collection of two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom homes. Under the Help to Buy scheme, prices start from £191,996 for a four-bedroom Hallingbury II townhouse, £259,996 for a four-bedroom Marchwood house and £251,996 for four-bedroom Middleton house overlooking Westerleigh Pond. Help to Buy is open to first-time buyers and existing home owners. Purchasers need a five per cent deposit and benefit from a 20 per cent interest-free Government loan for five years on homes worth up to £600,000. The remainder of the cost comes through a mortgage. Tim Ridges, Sales Manager at Crest Nicholson South West, explained: “Currently, Help to Buy is only available on new-build properties, which offers potential house buyers a head start from the rest of the second-hand market. At the start of 2014, phase two of Help to Buy will launch and is expected to be inundated with applications. While the Government funding amounts to £12bn, the pot isn’t limitless and there is a chance that it will run out before its three-year expiration period. “Furthermore, phase two of Help to Buy is forecast to create unparalleled demand for homes, in turn driving up property prices, so we would recommend house buyers discuss their options with a financial advisor sooner rather than later so that they have a greater choice when it comes to choosing their property.” For more information, visit the sales suite Thursday to Monday, 10am to 5pm, call 0845 8943 346, or visit www.crestnicholson.com.

H
ouse hunters across Weston-super-Mare are being given the opportunity to find out how the Government’s Help to Buy scheme could help them move on to, or up, the property ladder, at a dedicated open weekend on Saturday and Sunday, September 21-22. Hosted by St Modwen Homes at its Locking Parklands development, the weekend will provide potential purchasers with details of the equity loan scheme, giving people the chance to speak directly to an independent financial advisor and discover if the initiative could help them purchase a new home. Available to people on all stages of the property ladder, Help to Buy has been widely celebrated for improving the housing market across the UK. Under the scheme, purchasers only pay for 80 per cent of the listed price (made up of a 75 per cent mortgage and a five per cent deposit) as the Government will lend up to 20 per cent of the property’s value through an equity loan. Purchasers however, will still own 100 per cent of the house. The scheme has proved exceptionally popular at Locking Parklands, with many of the homes sold at the development since the scheme’s launch purchased under Help to Buy. First time buyers Ashley and Chelsea Evans, and their nine-month-old daughter Nevaeh, were one such family who made use of the scheme at Locking Parklands. Chelsea said: “We’d been looking for a house for over a year, but when we saw the green spaces on offer at Locking Parklands we knew the de-
velopment would be a safe, welcoming and beautiful place to bring up our daughter. “Obtaining a mortgage and saving for a deposit is a struggle for the majority of young families nowadays, so when Jackie in the sales office mentioned about the Help to Buy scheme, we immediately wanted to find out more and see if it was a feasible option for us. “Purchasing under Help to Buy has meant that we have been able to buy a larger house than we were originally looking at. The extra space is great when you have a baby in the house, especially the open-plan living area, and it means we can really start planning for our future. “The St Modwen Homes sales team were fantastic and took us through the process step by step, explaining everything along the way and helping us decide what options worked best for our own situation. I would certainly recommend Help to Buy to other people searching for a new property – it really has helped us buy our perfect home.” The open weekend is free for anyone to attend between 10am and 6pm. As well as being able to speak directly to the sales team and a professional independent financial adviser, house hunters will be able to visit the show home and walk around completed stages of the development to see what Locking Parklands has to offer. Jackie Ireland, sales manager at St Modwen Homes, said: “Locking Parklands offers something for everyone, whatever stage of the property ladder they’re on. The Help to Buy scheme has helped many people purchase a house that they previ-
ously thought was out of their price range and the open weekend is a perfect opportunity for people to find out more about the scheme in an informal setting.” Help to Buy is available on all the properties at Locking Parklands. Currently there is a range of two, three and four-bedroom houses, all of which have eye-catching external facades and have been fitted with designer kitchens and bathrooms
along with high quality fixtures. The philosophy of St Modwen Homes is to create light and height throughout the properties, so each home has high ceilings and large windows – often floor to ceiling – in all the rooms. Surrounded by mature woodland, Locking Parklands is a £400 million mixed-use development and will deliver approximately 650,000 sq ft of employment space, including a 30,000
sq ft Innovation Centre, providing flexible workspace for small companies when complete. A district centre will also be created which will include shops, a library, school and additional leisure facilities. The marketing suite at Locking Parklands, off Farnborough Road, is open daily, 10am to 6pm. For further information, call the St. Modwen Homes sales team on 0844 243 4848, or visit www.stmodwenhomes.co.uk
