The finishing touches are being made to a sensational showhome ahead of its official launch at Taylor Wimpey’s The Shires development in Peterborough.

The fabulous four-bedroom ‘Easton’ show property will be opened to visitors on Saturday 8th June, showcasing the ultimate in luxury living in the peaceful yet well-connected neighbourhood of Orton Northgate.

Exquisitely decorated and furnished by expert interior designers, this gorgeous showhome boasts a spacious layout that’s perfectly suited to contemporary family lifestyles.

Mariana Knight, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our design team are pulling out all the stops to ensure that our beautiful ‘Easton’ showhome at The Shires is dressed to impress ahead of its official launch on 8th June.

“We’re keeping the exact details of what this impressive property is going to look like under wraps until then, but what I can say now is that it will certainly be worth the wait!”

With generous accommodation laid out across three floors, the ‘Easton’ townhouse features a spacious living/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a breakfast kitchen and guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three bedrooms and a main bathroom while an en-suite master bedroom enjoys appealing seclusion on the top floor.

Homes of this design are currently available at The Shires from £204,995, including a garage and additional driveway parking.

Meanwhile, alternative four-bedroom designs are priced from £269,995 while three-bedroom houses start from as little as £164,995.

All new 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.

To make securing a new home at The Shires even easier and more affordable, Taylor Wimpey offers a range of incentives, including the Government’s Help to Buy shared equity scheme, which enables first-time buyers and existing homeowners to secure their new home for 80% of its full price, including a 5% deposit.

The NewBuy initiative, meanwhile, gives credit-worthy purchasers in a variety of circumstances the chance to access their ideal home with a 95% mortgage.

With open fields close by and everything home-hunters could want for day-to-day living located within easy reach, The Shires offers fantastic lifestyle opportunities for discerning purchasers.

Local shops, a health centre, a dental surgery, a library, a bakery and a Co-op supermarket are just a few of the local amenities within walking distance – as are schools for children of all ages, including the new state-of-the-art Ormiston Bushfield Academy, which has specialist status in mathematics, sports and performing arts.

The award-winning Ferry Meadows Country Park is close by and offers endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, including walking, cycling, horse-riding, fishing and watersports. It is also home to a choice of places to eat and a station on the historic Nene Valley Railway.

Meanwhile, Bushfield Leisure Centre is just over a mile away and boasts facilities for football, hockey, badminton, squash, and martial arts, as well as an extensive health and fitness suite, while Orton Meadows Golf Course is within easy reach.

Commuters will appreciate that The Shires enjoys quick and easy access to the A1 and Peterborough’s nearby railway station, which offers regular direct services to London King’s Cross as well as Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham.

Property-seekers can explore the ‘Easton’ showhome for the first time on Saturday 8th June between 10.30am and 5.30pm at The Shires, located off Loch Lomond Way, Orton Northgate, Peterborough.
