The FirstBuy scheme is available now at Taylor Wimpey’s Kings Acre development in Clipstone - offering one lucky Northamptonshire property-seeker an affordable way to secure their first home.

First-time buyers can secure a stunning three-bedroom house for 80% of its full price at Kings Acre, Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after development of new homes in Clipstone.

The stylish Plot 61 ‘Crofton’ property in Clipstone is available with the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme, making it available to qualifying purchasers for 80% of its £136,995 full price – that’s just £109,596, including a 5% deposit as low as £6,850!

Carolyne Watkinson, Regional Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey Northamptonshire, says: “Many aspiring first-time buyers struggle to save the big deposits often required to step on the property ladder – but FirstBuy means there’s now a more affordable way to secure a wonderful new house in Clipstone.

“Anyone interested in securing this new property for sale in Clipstone with FirstBuy should contact us today – before someone else beats them to it!”

The ‘Crofton’ features a light and airy lounge/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a contemporary kitchen and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a double bedroom with Juliet balcony, a second well-proportioned bedroom and a main bathroom, while an en-suite master bedroom enjoys appealing seclusion on the top floor. Outside, the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces.

Alternatively, the three-bedroom ‘Denford’ house is available for an 80% FirstBuy price of just £99,996 (£124,995 full price) with a 5% deposit of £6,250, while four-bedroom properties are on sale from as little as £214,995 and five-bedroom homes from only £229,995.

All homes at the development are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency and Taylor Wimpey, which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, purchasers must be first-time buyers and their total household earnings should be less than £60,000.

Kings Acre enjoys a convenient location in the heart of Sherwood Forest close to a host of everyday amenities in the popular village of Clipstone, including local shops, pubs, a health centre, a pharmacy, a post office and takeaway outlets.

For a wider choice of facilities, Mansfield and the Four Seasons Shopping Centre are just four miles from the development, while Nottingham, one of the nation’s most vibrant shopping, leisure and entertainment destinations, is only 14 miles away.

Parents will appreciate that the village primary school is located within easy reach of the development and Garibaldi College is also nearby and includes a sports complex which is also open to the public.

For commuters, the A60 and the A614 are easily accessible from Kings Acre, for quick routes to Nottingham, while the M1 is just nine miles from home.

First-time buyers can find out more about securing the three-bedroom Plot 61 ‘Crofton’ house at Kings Acre with FirstBuy by visiting the Sales Centre, located off Cavendish Way, Clipstone, Nottinghamshire, and open between 10.30am and 5.30pm from Thursday to Monday.
