New homes made affordable in Northampton
Hot on the heels of its sales success at The Bridleways where only five new homes remain for sale, Genesis is back in Northampton with a new collection of highly desirable and affordable new homes at Highfields in Brixworth. Offering a collection of 15 properties including one and two bedroom apartments, one bedroom maisonettes and three bedroom terraced houses, there really is something for everyone.
Best of all, with prices starting at just £17,500 for a 25% share in a one bedroom apartment based on a full market price of £70,000, these new homes are truly affordable. This compares favourably to the average price of a one bedroom property in Northampton which is £89,000 according to nestoria.co.uk.
Situated in the idyllic village of Brixworth, which is famous for All Saints’ church, one of the largest and most complete Saxon churches in the country, Highfields is perfect for people looking to enjoy a rural lifestyle and the great outdoors. It is located near Brixworth Country Park, which offers stunning views over the Pitsford Water, where families can enjoy cycling, walking, sailing and fishing.
Ideal for first time buyers, single buyers, couples and young families, Highfields offers a great opportunity to enjoy Brixworth’s village atmosphere and get involved in the local community. The development is next to the local primary school and there is a green open space across the road which is perfect for people to enjoy communal events and activities. In addition, the village offers an array of local shops and amenities, period properties and a village church.
Offering perfect starter homes, many of the one and two bedroom apartments are unusually designed over two storeys in a maisonettes layout. Offering a selection of design layouts, all properties include a kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom and bedroom(s). Many also include a private rear garden.
