Home-hunters looking for the perfect family-size home can take advantage of an incredible opportunity to snap up a spacious townhouse for less at Taylor Wimpey’s Billington Grove development in Leighton Buzzard.

The new Government Help to Buy shared equity scheme is available now at this sought-after development, enabling first-time buyers and existing homeowners to purchase their new home at Billington Grove for 80% of its full price, including a 5% deposit.

This means the stunning four-bedroom ‘Holton’ townhouse, for example, can be secured under Help to Buy for an 80% shared equity price of just £188,000 (full price £235,000) including a 5% deposit as low as £11,750.

Would-be buyers will be able to find out all the benefits of this fantastic scheme by attending a Help to Buy Information Weekend at Billington Grove on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st April from 10am to 5pm.

The ‘Holton’ townhouse features a light and airy kitchen/dining/family room and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a spacious lounge with Juliet balcony, a well-proportioned bedroom that could alternatively be used as a home office, and a main bathroom, while an en-suite master bedroom and two further bedrooms are located on the top floor.
