As new figures by Bloor Homes reveals that one in ten homeowners are driven to move to secure a home within the catchment of high quality schools, the award-winning housebuilder is encouraging parents in Amesbury to make the move to its King’s Gate development now, ahead of the school application deadline in January.

For homebuyers, the number one priority is schools – reiterated by recent research published by the Daily Telegraph. Indeed, of the 2,000 people surveyed in Bloor Homes’ survey, nearly a quarter of homeowners considered a school as ‘the heart of the community’, whilst the ability to walk to school also ranked high on parents’ wish list when looking for a new home.

Bloor Homes is therefore keen to assist prospective purchasers in Amesbury to secure their dream home now to ensure they stand the best chance of getting their child into their school of choice for 2015.

The King’s Gate development in Amesbury provides the perfect location for families looking to live within close proximity to excellent schools. Within easy reach of the development are a number of schools which gained an Ofsted ‘Good’ rating on last inspection, including Amesbury Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary, Christ the King R C Primary School and Stonehenge High School.

Martin Crick, Sales Director at Bloor Homes comments: “Needing additional space for a growing family and being within easy reach of great school goes hand-in-hand for many families. That’s why finding a modern home in a desirable location is on the wish list for many house hunters at this time.

“With recent changes to the mortgage application process, anecdotal evidence also indicates it is taking longer for people to secure their dream home. So if you want to ensure you are living in the correct area ahead of January applications, now really is the time to be making the move.”

A selection of three and four bedroom family homes are currently available for sale at King’s Gate, priced from £230,000 (£184,000 under Help to Buy). Committed to delivering the perfect place for families to call home, the new houses have all been carefully designed to fit the needs of modern living, offering open-plan living areas plus high quality fixtures and fittings, alongside generous rear gardens, garages or parking depending on the plot.

Located just outside the thriving market town of Amesbury, King’s Gate is the delightful new addition to the already desirable development of Archer’s Gate. Ideally positioned at the foot of the Boscomb Downs and just a short drive from Stonehenge, Amesbury is well placed for a variety of outdoor activities. The development is also perfect for commuters, situated just minutes from the A303, whilst Salisbury rail station offers a direct service to London Waterloo in under an hour.
