Escape the DIY with a restored period home at Lawley Farm
Property-buyers can escape expensive maintenance costs by purchasing a stunning restored Grade II-listed home at Taylor Wimpey’s Lawley Farm development in Telford.
House-hunters who buy new could save on costly repairs and maintenance bills. Research by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors revealed people have found themselves facing average repair bills of £5,750 to their previously-owned home by failing to get a proper survey.
Furthermore, the typical household spends on average £716 a year on home repairs and maintenance – an expense which purchasers of a brand new home can happily avoid.
But savvy purchasers can avoid these DIY costs by snapping up one of two beautiful properties which have been returned to their former glory after being carefully restored at Lawley Village.
The Farmhouse at Lawley Farm, priced £325,995, dates back to the 1880s and has been sensitively transformed into a modern family home while retaining period features such as a traditional inglenook fireplace, timber-framed sash windows and walk-in bay windows.
This stunning property boasts a well-proportioned living room, a kitchen, a separate dining room, a further reception room, a study and a guest cloakroom. Upstairs, the landing leads to an en-suite master bedroom, three further bedrooms and a main bathroom.
Also available is the one-bedroom Cottage, attached to the Farmhouse, which is priced £139,995 and features a living room, a kitchen, a guest cloakroom, a bedroom and a bathroom.
Anne Wallace, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Buying a new home is the biggest purchase we ever make, so the savings that add up from buying one of these carefully-restored homes at Lawley Farm, which meet modern building requirements, compared with a typical older property which might still need work can really make a difference.
“The lucky purchasers of these two beautiful homes can not only escape expensive DIY costs, but also enjoy a truly stunning period home in a fabulous location.”
Set on the edge of glorious open countryside, many of the new homes at Lawley Farm enjoy expansive views over Shropshire’s rolling fields. Each of the new properties boasts traditional features characteristic to the region, including full-height sash windows, cottage-style block paving and five-bar gates.
Lawley Farm is close to the exceptional local amenities available in Lawley Village, while a wide range of chain shops and boutique stores, plus restaurants, pubs, bars and leisure facilities are located in nearby Telford.
Commuters will appreciate that Telford is just 2.5 miles away from the development and that the M54 is easily reached for access to Shrewsbury, Birmingham and beyond. Telford railway station is situated in the town centre for services to Birmingham New Street in 35 minutes.
