Property-seekers looking for their perfect property with plenty of space for the whole family can take advantage of the innovative layout of the five-bedroom ‘Carisbrooke’ detached house at Taylor Wimpey’s Kingwell Rise development in Wincanton, Somerset.

The fabulous ‘upside-down’ layout of the ‘Carisbrooke’, priced at £290,000, offers a wealth of generous accommodation across three floors that’s ideal for flexible family living.

Two spacious bedrooms – which could alternatively be used as a play room, media room, home office, or teenager’s den – occupy the lower ground floor along with a shower room, with French doors providing access to the private rear garden.

Meanwhile, a large kitchen/dining room with utility area forms the heart of the home for day-to-day living, while a sitting room with Juliet balcony and a guest cloakroom complete the ground-floor layout. Three bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, and a main bathroom are found on the top floor.

Charlie Joseph, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The ‘Carisbrooke’ is the perfect choice for home-hunters looking for something a little different to meet the demands of contemporary family life.

“Its ‘upside-down’ design is proving incredibly popular with discerning purchasers, so I would urge anyone hoping to take advantage of the flexibility and extra space this housetype offers to get in quick, before someone else beats them to their dream home.”

The ‘Carisbrooke’, like all new homes at Kingwell Rise, is 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 moving easier and more affordable, Taylor Wimpey offers a range of helpful homebuyer incentives, including Help to Buy, which enables eligible first-time buyers and those looking to move home to secure a Government loan for 20% of their new home’s full price – so they only require a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a 5% deposit.

Help to Buy is available on new-build homes up to the value of £600,000 and there is no salary cap for purchasers taking advantage of the scheme.

Kingwell Rise is located just outside Wincanton and enjoys a rural feel with a welcoming village atmosphere. Street names are inspired by Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, so purchasers could soon be enjoying life in Peach Pie Street or Treacle Mine Road.

Wincanton, which itself is ‘twinned’ with Discworld’s Ankh-Morpork, is conveniently placed off the A303, one of the main routes connecting the south-west to London.

The nearest railway station is just four miles away at Templecombe while the M5 is within easy reach for commuters.

The town is home to Wincanton Racecourse while the High Street boasts a number of independent shops and cafes as well as a library, post office and petrol station.

Parents will appreciate the proximity of two primary schools, Wincanton Primary School and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School, as well as King Arthur's Community School, Somerset's first specialist Sports College.

To find out more about the ‘Carisbrooke’ at Kingwell Rise, home-hunters can visit the Sales and Information Centre, located off Deanesly Way, Wincanton, Somerset, BA9 9RG, and open Thursday to Saturday from 11am to 5pm. Alternatively, visit taylorwimpey.co.uk.
