Having completed and sold all but one property at its exclusive, and first ever development, Lansdowne Villas in Bedford, Storey Homes is thrilled to announce that planning permission has now be granted for Phase 2 comprising 222 houses and apartments.

“We are very excited about this next phase. By gaining this permission it can only confirm that the work we have carried out so far, in the refurbishment of 20 Victorian Villas on Lansdowne Road and 2 new build 4 bedroom luxury houses, is highly regarded” comments Matthew Storey, Director of Storey Homes. “Using quality materials and traditional build we have created homes that compliment and reflect the surroundings.”

Matthew concludes, “not only will Phase 2 help regenerate the area but with 1.1 acres of landscaped public open space with children’s play park, we are helping to improve the local facilities. Also, with approximately £20 million being invested into this site over the next 4 years, hundreds of jobs will be created”.
Carrying on with the Victorian style grandeur that made the first phase so popular, these homes will offer other couples and families, who are looking to move into the Bedford area, an excellent opportunity of owning a stunning new home in this leafy conservation area.

Although work is not due to start on Phase 2 until the latter quarter of 2012, there is still the opportunity to purchase the last remaining and thoughtfully designed three storey 4 bedroom Villa at £499,950. Featuring elegant brickwork, sash and bay windows, pitched roofs, and situated along the sought after Lansdown Road, this sophisticated home offers modern energy saving specifications and comfort.

On the ground floor the extensive open planned modern kitchen and dining area, with magnificent bay window, is fitted with granite worktops, integrated dishwasher, wine cooler and microwave and a five-ring gas hob and extractor hood. To complete, there is a spacious lounge with doors opening out onto the landscaped garden, a separate utility room and cloakroom.

The first floor has the master bedroom featuring en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, and two further double rooms with access to a separate family bathroom. On the top floor another double bedroom with en-suite shower room and airing cupboard.
