Snap up the 'Gifford' home at Mariners Place

Property-seekers keen to join the satisfied homebuyers at Taylor Wimpey’s popular new Mariners Place development in Lower Upnor, Kent, are being invited to discover the stunning ‘Gifford’ home.

Priced from £240,500, this stylish three-bedroom semi-detached house is an ideal choice for first-time buyers, professional couples and young families looking for their dream home in a great location.

What’s more, this fabulous home is available using the Help to Buy equity loan scheme, enabling eligible first-time buyers and those with a property to sell to secure a Government loan for 20% of its full price – meaning they only require a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a 5% deposit.

Jason Stokes, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We’ve seen a huge amount of interest in Mariners Place since it was launched in June, with seven savvy homebuyers securing their pick of the plots already.

“With just 10 homes now remaining at this exclusive development, I would encourage anyone who’d like to snap up a place of their own – including the fantastic ‘Gifford’ home – to act without delay!”

The ‘Gifford’ boasts a well-proportioned living room and a spacious kitchen/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, with a guest cloakroom completing the ground-floor layout.

Upstairs, the landing leads to an en-suite master bedroom, two further bedrooms and a main bathroom, while there’s also allocated parking outside.

Alternatively, there’s a choice of four-bedroom designs on sale at Mariners Place priced from £289,995.

Situated on the banks of the River Medway, the twin villages of Lower Upnor and Upper Upnor lie just two miles from the centre of bustling Rochester, with its array of shops, pubs, restaurants and leisure facilities.

As well as two village pubs, Upnor also boasts its very own historic tourist attraction in the shape of Upnor Castle – an Elizabethan river fortress only a few minutes’ walk from the development – while Upnor Sailing Club is just across the road.

There’s a selection of good nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools also within easy reach, including Wainscott Primary School, which was rated ‘good’ in its most recent Ofsted inspection.

For commuters, the M2 and the A228 are both close at hand and provide good access to London, while Strood railway station is just over two miles from Mariners Place and runs regular services to Charing Cross, Waterloo and London Bridge – all of which can be reached in less than an hour.

To join the satisfied homebuyers at Mariners Place – and find out more about the stunning ‘Gifford’ – property-seekers can visit the Sales and Marketing Suite, located off Upnor Road, Lower Upnor, Kent, ME2 4GP, and open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm. Alternatively, visit taylorwimpey.co.uk.
