With 77% of those surveyed stating that good transport links are important and 74% said that finding the perfect area is their priority, clearly buyers are searching for properties offering a great location.

Families looking to move to a traditional home in the heart of the north Essex countryside, yet close to superb transport links, should look no further than Friar’s Place in Takeley. Countryside’s recently launched development is sure to delight families aspiring to buy a new home in the leafy village, as the exclusive collection of 25 traditional three and four bedrooms homes boast ideal layouts for family living.

Andrew Loveday, Sales and Marketing Director of Countryside comments: “After the success of Priors Green our previous development in Takeley, we are aware that homebuyers may have missed the opportunity to secure a new home in the area. We are very pleased to launch Friar’s Place within a mile of our previous development, meaning families can look forward to benefitting from all the fantastic amenities Takeley has to offer, whilst within close proximity of Great Dunmow and Bishop’s Stortford. Friar’s Place really does offer buyers the perfect country location with everything on the doorstep.”

An exclusive development of just 25 three and four bedroom houses, the homes range in size and suitability for families. The three bedroom Willow features an open plan kitchen and living/dining area with French doors leading onto the rear garden. On the first floor, the property boasts a spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a double bedroom and a further single bedroom.

The four bedroom Stebbing is a superior four bedroom detached house. On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a large living room with French doors leading out onto the rear garden. A separate dining room provides a formal space for entertaining, whilst the bright and airy kitchen / family area also has doors leading onto the garden. There is a separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, including a superb master bedroom with en-suite. Other homes available include the Fairstead, an attractive three bedroom semi-detached house, the Sampford, a pretty three bedroom home and the Hatfield, a stylish four bedroom detached home.

The research also found that 93% of property buyers ranked having a garden as important when buying a house. At Friar’s Place, all properties include a rear garden, ensuring that the development ticks all the boxes for prospective purchasers.
