Part exchange your way up to Kings Park
This weekend offers a great opportunity for home buyers who really do want to get moving. Countryside Properties is holding a ‘Part Exchange Weekend’ this coming Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th February to allow those buyers with homes still to sell to trade up to a stylishly designed contemporary home set within parkland at Kings Park in Harold Wood, near Brentwood, Essex. Free independent mortgage advice will be available.
Full value part exchange is a popular option to make life easier for purchasers. Countryside Properties becomes the purchaser for the buyer’s old house, so removing the chain and so taking away a lot of the stress of the process, and saving estate agents fees into the bargain. A fair market price is established following independent valuations and the purchaser moves chain free when the new house is ready – perfect! It is available on selected homes at Kings Park.
Just to add to the excitement Countryside Properties is also offering purchasers of 3 and 4 bedroom homes a voucher worth £10,000 towards interior design or a beautifully landscaped garden if they reserve before the end of February. The Government backed NewBuy scheme is also now available at Kings Park which makes 95% mortgages available so customers only need a 5% deposit.
Innovative architecture by Scott Brownrigg has transformed the traditional layout of the family house into something special at Kings Park to create spacious homes which integrate modern architecture and traditional materials. The open plan interiors, with full-height glazing to key rooms, create naturally light spaces. The premium white gloss fitted kitchens feature the finest quality SMEG integrated appliances and stylish, bright bathrooms are complemented with sleek chrome accessories and tiled flooring.
Kings Park is located adjacent to Harold Wood station and lies within the Oyster card zone, offering commuters a 35 minute journey time to London Liverpool Street. With Crossrail too coming in 2018 to Harold Wood it is superbly connected for public transport. Access to the road network is very good as well, with the A12, A127 and M25 all just five minutes away. Since Kings Park launched in October, the properties available have proved particularly popular with couples and families looking to relocate within a commutable distance to London.
Kings Park provides a leafy environment with tree-lined avenues and green open spaces creating a beautiful backdrop, whilst landscaped gardens and an attractive public realm will be easily accessible from every home. All homes are designed to Level Three of the Code for Sustainable Homes. A Site of Nature Conservation Importance lies on the southern boundary of the scheme, which will be enhanced to become a sheltered corridor for animal movement and promote bio-diversity.
Kings Park has a grand history. Harold Wood is so named because King Harold Harefoot hunted deer in the forest that covered the area which today has a wealth of countryside, woodland and parks. Near the main entrance to Kings Park lies the Grange, a Grade II listed lodge dating back to 1883, when it was built as a suburban retreat for Army clothier John Compton. In 1909 the house became a convalescent home for children and then a hospital serving in both World Wars. In the 1960’s the buildings were substantially enlarged and it eventually became part of Barking, Havering and Redbridge Hospitals Trust. The closure of the hospital has given an opportunity for the old listed building to be celebrated once again as one of the most significant houses in Harold Wood. It will be sensitively restored as a focal point of Kings Park.
There are local shops and amenities, while slightly further afield Brentwood and Romford offer plenty of retail and leisure opportunities. Green space abounds – there are four country parks and nature reserves within five miles of Kings Park.
One and two-bedroom apartments are available for sale, priced from £185,000, while three-bedroom villas and homes are priced from £399,995. There are also luxury four-bedroom villas priced from £599,950. Further information is available from the marketing suite by visiting kings-park.co.uk.
