Stylish two-bedroom homes appealing to first-time buyers

A leading regional builder believes it has the perfect property for first time buyers or investors at its Desborough development.

Persimmon Homes Midlands is building a select development of just 75 homes at Harrington Grange, with a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom properties built to suit the needs of modern living.

The builder believes its Alnwick style two-bedroom home, priced from £159,950, is ideal for first-time buyers, young professional couples, investors and mature downsizers as it offers great value for money.

The semi-detached property features a modern open plan dining room and kitchen, lounge, downstairs cloakroom, two generous bedrooms and bathroom, together with parking.

Claire Davidson, head of sales for Persimmon Homes Midlands, said: “These stylish new homes offer attractive, flexible living space and are very affordable.

“In fact, with mortgage repayments on the Alnwick potentially coming in at less than £400 per month, it could actually be cheaper to buy then rent a similar sized house in the area!

“Harrington Grange offers the best of both worlds – it has a beautiful rural location with Foxton Locks nearby, as well as Brampton Valley Way which offers a 15-mile long cycle and walk way, but it also has excellent transport links with Northampton 18 miles south, Market Harborough five miles north and Kettering five miles to the south east.

“The properties here are perfect for people starting out on the property ladder and also for families. Plus, with Help to Buy available, it has never been an easier or more straightforward time to move.”

Help to Buy is a Government-backed shared equity scheme. It provides a 20% loan on the term of your mortgage, which is interest and repayment free for the first five years, whilst people only need a 5% deposit.
