Savvy home-hunters find their perfect property at Mariners Place
Fast-acting buyers are seizing the opportunity to purchase their dream home at Mariners Place, Taylor Wimpey’s highly-desirable development in Lower Upnor, Kent.
The combination of a stunning location near the banks of the River Medway and the stylish interior layouts of the homes has meant that discerning buyers have been quick to secure their favourite plots at Mariners Place – with 12 already snapped up since the development launched in June.
Demand is continuing to run high, so home-hunters are being urged to hurry to secure their dream home – or risk missing out!
Jason Stokes, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We are delighted, yet not surprised, that our beautiful new homes at Mariners Place are in such high demand with savvy buyers.
“The fantastic location offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life, while the superb range of high-quality homes at the development means there’s something for purchasers in a range of different circumstances.
“To secure a fantastic new home at this sought-after development, I would urge would-be buyers to act without delay to avoid disappointment.”
There’s a superb collection of homes available at Mariners Place, ranging from three-bedroom semi-detached properties priced from only £240,995, to four-bedroom detached houses priced from just £289,995.
The stunning ‘Gifford’ semi-detached house, priced from £240,995, features a spacious kitchen/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a large living room and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the landing leads to an en-suite master bedroom, two further bedrooms, one which could be used as a nursery or a study and a bathroom, while an allocated parking space can be found outside.
All new homes at Mariners Place 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 their perfect property even easier, purchasers can benefit from the Government’s Help to Buy scheme at the development, meaning eligible first-time buyers and those with a property to sell can secure a Government loan for 20% of its full price – meaning they only require a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a 5% deposit.
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.
