First plots snapped up during launch of Brigadier House at Praecedo
Fast-acting home-buyers made a quick march to the hotly-anticipated launch of an exclusive collection of mews houses and apartments at Taylor Wimpey’s Praecedo development in Colchester.
Visitors to the official opening of Brigadier House – a former officers’ mess at the old Colchester Garrison which has been sympathetically restored to create 19 stunning properties boasting many original period features – were so impressed by what they saw that several plots were reserved off-plan there and then!
Brigadier House retains its impressive Edwardian frontage and its striking interior includes a stunning chandelier hanging over the ornate communal staircase.
The restoration project has combined beautiful existing historic features – such as stone portico entrances, mosaic flooring, 9ft sash windows, deep skirting and 14ft-high ceilings – with a luxurious 21st century finish including modern energy-efficient features, a secured door entry system and under floor heating.
The remaining homes within this landmark building are not expected to be available for long, so anyone hoping to secure one of these unique properties is advised to get in quick – or risk missing out!
Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We are absolutely delighted with the response to Brigadier House at Praecedo, with would-be movers flocking to the launch to discover what this very special collection of homes has to offer.
“During the launch event we took our first reservations and we are continuing to experience a huge amount of interest from property-seekers keen to make Brigadier House their home.”
One and two-bedroom apartments at Brigadier House are available to reserve from £154,995 and £214,995 respectively, while two and three-bedroom mews houses are priced from £264,995 and £270,995.
Property-seekers can get a unique insight into the superb lifestyle on offer at Brigadier House by visiting the stunning two-bedroom show apartment.
To make moving even easier and more affordable, Taylor Wimpey offers a range of helpful homebuyer incentives for purchasers in a range of circumstances, including first-time buyers and those with a property to sell.
Incentives can be tailored to customers’ individual requirements, with full details available from the Sales Executive.
The Help to Buy equity loan scheme is available at the development, enabling eligible first-time buyers and existing homeowners to secure a Government loan for 20% of the full price of their new home – meaning they only require a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a 5% deposit.
Praecedo – which means to surpass or excel in Latin, in a nod to Colchester’s famous Roman heritage – is a collection of high-quality properties in a well-connected yet peaceful location.
Commuters will appreciate good rail and road links to Chelmsford, Brentwood and London as well as to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands. Colchester Town railway station is located just a short walk from home for regular services to London Liverpool Street.
To stand a chance of securing their favourite plot in Brigadier House, home-hunters can visit the Praecedo Sales and Marketing Suite, located off Mersea Road, Colchester, Essex, CO2 7TB, and open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5.30pm. Alternatively, visit taylorwimpey.co.uk.
