Unique showhome opens at Spennymoor
A distinctive new showhome with lots of appeal for first-time buyers and downsizers has been unveiled by Barratt North East at its Burton Woods development in Spennymoor.
The ‘Ashton’ is a unique coach house-style apartment, which provides more than 750 sq ft of living space above its own garage.
This detached home has its own front door and entrance hall, which leads upstairs to the first floor accommodation. There is a light and spacious open-plan living/dining room (17’8” x 10’3”) and a contemporary fitted breakfasting kitchen, complete with oven, hob and hood.
There are two good-sized bedrooms – one double and one single – and a stylish bathroom, plus plenty of storage space. The Ashton’s garage is a sought-after feature for properties of this size.
It has energy-efficient central heating and high standards of insulation, and for added peace of mind buyers also benefit from an exclusive five year guarantee on fixtures and fittings.
The Ashton is priced from £119,500 and buyers can take advantage of a variety of helpful schemes, including the Government-backed NewBuy 95 per cent mortgage, which means they could move in with a deposit of just £5,975.
Fenton Hewitt, Sales Director at Barratt North East, said: “The Ashton is an easy to maintain, contemporary and comfortable home which is ideal if you are looking to take your first step onto the property market or perhaps looking to downsize.
“It offers great value for money, especially with NewBuy which allows buyers to secure a new build home with just a five per cent deposit.
“There has been a real surge of interest in the scheme since the New Year. The interest rates on NewBuy mortgages have dropped significantly, increasing its availability and appeal to buyers.”
Burton Woods is in a superb setting on Whitworth Road, with a sweeping private entrance road, open spaces and an adjacent wildlife “bio-park”, yet with plenty of amenities nearby.
There are four showhomes open daily from 10.00am to 5.00pm (11.00am to 6.00pm Monday). For details, visit barratthomes.co.uk/burtonwoods.
