Last chance to buy at Elan's picture perfect development

Close to Bath and with beautiful views over the valley towards Midsomer Norton, it’s easy to see why all but two homes have now sold at Somer Mews in Radstock.

Nine of the 11 homes at the picturesque development have been reserved, underlining the strong local demand for premium-quality housing in the area.

Now just a four-bedroom detached ‘Harborough’ style home and an ‘Axbridge’ three-bedroom bungalow remain for sale, the latter offered by Elan with carpets and turf included and stamp duty paid.

Just 10 miles from historic Bath, the impressive properties marry a traditional, rural location with contemporary and stylish design.

Andrea Nippe, sales director for Elan Homes in the South, said: “We’ve enjoyed great success at our Somer Mews development and are delighted to be able to offer the final two homes for sale. The combination of the sought-after location and quality design of the homes has proved to be a winning formula for Somerset homebuyers and we don’t expect these final properties to be available for long.”

The Axbridge bungalow has wide-ranging appeal but will serve downsizers particularly well. Laid out over a single floor it’s easy to maintain, energy efficient and perfect for those who like to entertain thanks to its large open-plan lounge and dining area with patio doors leading out to the garden. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite while there are two further bedrooms so the bungalow is equally suitable for a family. The property also has allocated parking.

Adding to the development’s appeal, the remaining homes can both be bought through Help to Buy. Launched 12 months ago, the Government scheme offers customers at Somer Mews the chance to move in with just a 5% deposit.

It means the three-bedroom Axbridge, priced at £294,995, could be bought with just a 5% deposit of £14,750.

Remaining costs would then be covered by an equity loan of up to 20% from the Government for £58,999, interest free for five years, and a 75% mortgage from their lender of choice.

Alternatively, for those with a house to sell, part exchange could be an option for purchasers of the Harborough. Elan will act as cash buyer for a customer’s existing property, leaving them free to move to their new home at Somer Mews with virtually no hassle.

Surrounded by green fields and countryside, the market town of Radstock is at the very heart of the West Country. Just 10 miles from the Georgian splendour of Bath, and close to the Wiltshire border, Radstock is an historic town in its own right. Visitors and locals alike can enjoy the rich history on display in the Radstock Museum before visiting the many independent shops on the high street.

Memorial Park and Tom Huyton Park provide places to relax and for children to play. There are also plenty of cycle and walking trails in the vicinity.
