House-hunters in search of their perfect property can go through the keyhole of two beautiful new showhomes now open at Saxon Gate, Taylor Wimpey’s in-demand development in Newton Village, Derby.

The two-bedroom ‘Belford’ and the four-bedroom ‘Kentdale’ show properties provide first-time buyers, executive couples, growing families and downsizers alike the chance to experience the wonderful lifestyle that can be enjoyed at this sought-after new community.

Carl Cooke, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “It’s possible to get a realistic idea of what a new home will look like from drawings and plans, but there’s nothing like walking round a sumptuously decorated showhome to get a true flavour of what life here has to offer.

“With such high levels of interest in this development, I would urge house-hunters to visit us as soon as possible to ensure they have the pick of the plots.”

The ‘Belford’ benefits from an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a guest cloakroom and handy storage cupboard off the entrance hallway.

An en-suite master bedroom, a further bedroom and a main bathroom can be found upstairs, while two allocated parking spaces are located outside. Homes of this design are priced from only £132,500 at Saxon Gate.

The ‘Kentdale’, meanwhile, boasts a kitchen/dining room with utility room, a large lounge and a guest cloakroom on the ground floor, plus an en-suite master bedroom, three further bedrooms and a main bathroom upstairs. Homes of this design also include a private garden, a garage and driveway parking.

Alternative house designs at Saxon Gate include the three-bedroom ‘Croften’, priced from £167,500, and the four-bedroom ‘Draycott’ priced from £229,995.

To make choosing one of these impressive new homes even easier and more affordable, Taylor Wimpey offers a range of helpful incentives for first-time buyers and those with a property to sell. This includes the Government’s Help to Buy scheme, which lets eligible purchasers secure their ideal home for 80% of its full price, including a 5% deposit.

Saxon Gate at Newton Village is close to a wealth of facilities for day-to-day living, including an Asda supermarket, a health centre, banks, a library and local shops, while regular bus services operate from the development into Derby city centre.

Parents will appreciate that just a short walk away is Stenson Fields Primary Community School, which was rated good with outstanding features in its most recent Ofsted inspection.

Less than a mile away is the Stenson Lock on the Trent and Mersey Canal, which provides an idyllic setting for the 18th century waterside pub The Bubble Inn as well as laid-back walks along the towpath.

Sinfin Golf Course is within walking distance, while Moorways Sports Complex is located three miles from the new homes, offering a superb range of sporting facilities, including a swimming pool, gym, sports hall, synthetic and grass pitches, and an international standard athletics stadium.

Just over two miles away at Foresters Park are a multiplex cinema, a ten-pin bowling alley and a choice of places to eat, while an array of shopping, leisure and entertainment opportunities can be found just four miles from home in Derby.

The development is also less than a mile from the A50 for quick links to the M1, while regular direct rail services operate from Derby railway station to London St Pancras, Birmingham New Street, Nottingham and Sheffield.

To see the inspirational new showhomes at Saxon Gate for themselves, property-seekers can visit the Sales Centre, located off Stenson Road opposite Grampian Way, Derby, DE23 1LG, and open Saturday to Monday and on Thursdays between 11am and 5pm.
