Family-size houses in Essex are in demand

There are just two houses remaining for sale at Scholars Mews, Taylor Wimpey’s development of new homes in Braintree, Essex – so property-seekers are advised to act before it’s too late.
The final pair of plots are both beautiful ‘Bosworth’ designs and with all the other Taylor Wimpey houses in Braintree at Scholars Mews already snapped up by discerning buyers, they’re not expected to be available for long.
The good news is that the Government-backed NewBuy 95% mortgage scheme is available at the development for both first-time buyers and existing home-owners, meaning they need a deposit of as little as 5% – that’s as low as £15,000 – to secure their brand new property in Braintree.
Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Discerning buyers have been quick to snap up their favourite plots at Scholars Mews and we’re now down to our final two homes for sale in Braintree at this sought-after development.
“In particular, we’re urging buyers to make the most of NewBuy 95% mortgages at Scholars Mews, as this helpful scheme is available not only for first-time buyers struggling to save a large enough deposit but also for home-owners with limited equity in their existing property. Anyone hoping to find their dream home in Braintree should act now to avoid missing out on this incredible opportunity!”
The remaining ‘Bosworth’ houses for sale in Braintree are priced from just £239,995 and feature a large lounge and a light and airy kitchen/dining room, both spanning the full depth of the property and opening out to the private rear garden.
A guest cloakroom completes the ground-floor layout while the en-suite master bedroom, a second double bedroom and a bathroom can be found off the first-floor landing. Two further double bedrooms and a shower room occupy the top floor and a car port and allocated parking are located outside.
Scholars Mews is conveniently located in Deerleap Way within the prestigious Kings Park Village just to the east of Braintree town centre, and is bordered by the highly successful Lyons Hall Primary School. Within walking distance is a Tesco supermarket and Marks Farm Community Centre, which offers pre-school facilities.
Footpaths and cycleways link the development with the town centre to the west and with the River Blackwater and picturesque countryside to the north.
Braintree itself is a bustling town which offers a choice of schools for all ages, as well as a wealth of shops, restaurants and bars. Meanwhile, nearby Freeport designer outlet village boasts about 90 stores offering designer stock at factory prices.
Two railway stations, Braintree and Braintree Freeport, are both just over a mile from the new homes, and offer regular services into London Liverpool Street in about an hour, while the A12, the M11 and the M25 are all within easy reach. For international travel, Stansted Airport is just 19 miles away.
