Abbotswood proving popular with mature purchasers
Hampshire empty nesters are choosing Romsey as their new home location, according to leading house builder Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties. The company has reported a surge in interest from mature purchasers at its sought-after Abbotswood development in the town.
According to research only 25 per cent of home movers are looking to trade up but this is certainly not the case at Abbotswood, as Fiona Creed, regional sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, explains: “Abbotswood appears to be bucking the national trend as we’ve received a great deal of interest from mature purchasers looking to upsize to our stunning Buckingham and Winchester house types.
“Since its launch, Abbotswood has been incredibly popular with house hunters in the area looking for a stylish and spacious home. The five bedroom Buckingham and Winchester properties provide flexible living across three floors and can adapt to suit the owner’s needs as they change over time.”
Priced from £500,000, the Buckingham features a spacious living room with French doors leading to the private rear garden, a modern kitchen with breakfast area as well as a separate dining room. There’s also a study and a convenient cloakroom, all on the ground floor.
On the first floor there’s the magnificent master bedroom with en-suite and dressing room, two further bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. Occupying the second floor are two more bedrooms, another family bathroom as well as a reception room, which could be used as a play room or an additional study.
Set over three floors, The Winchester showcases modern living at its finest and is priced from £495,000.
What’s more, Taylor Wimpey is hosting a special open house day at their Abbotswood development on Saturday 2nd February. An independent mortgage advisor will be at hand on the day, giving guidance to visitors looking for a new home.
Potential purchasers will also have the chance to look around the Buckingham and Winchester house types and find out more about the acclaimed Part Exchange and NewBuy schemes, which are both now available at the development in Romsey.
Fiona adds: “I’d advise those interested in making the move to a brand new spacious, yet affordable property at Abbotswood to head down to the development on 2nd February to find out if the Buckingham or Winchester is the home for them.”
Abbotswood currently hosts a fine selection of four and five bedroom properties with prices starting from £325,000 for the Kempsford home.
The development is ideally located in historic Romsey, close to Southampton and Winchester, and lies on the River Test which is famous for fly fishing. There is a good selection of high street shops, restaurants and gastro pubs in the area, as well as beautiful parkland to explore.
