Get a taste of the waterside lifestyle on offer at Doulton Brook

House-hunters can get a unique insight into the laid-back waterside lifestyle on offer at Taylor Wimpey’s Doulton Brook development in Stourbridge, West Midlands, when two fantastic new showhomes are unveiled this Summer.

Property-seekers will be able to look around the stunning three-bedroom detached ‘Ardingham’ and the impressive four-bedroom detached ‘Bradenham’ showhomes when they are opened this June.

Elaine Taylor, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Since Doulton Brook opened in late 2013 we have had a huge amount of interest in the fantastic apartments and houses available.

“The opening of the ‘Ardingham’ and ‘Bradenham’ showhomes offers property-seekers a fantastic chance to experience a flavour of what’s on offer at this in-demand development.”

The ‘Bradenham’ features a kitchen/breakfast room and a lounge, both opening through French doors to the private rear garden, while a dining room and guest cloakroom complete the ground-floor layout.

Upstairs, the landing leads to the en-suite master bedroom, three additional bedrooms and the main bathroom. The property also benefits from an integral garage and driveway parking.

Meanwhile, the superb ‘Ardingham’ boasts a lounge, a dining room, a kitchen and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway, with three bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, and a bathroom upstairs.

To make securing their perfect property at Doulton Brook even easier, purchasers can benefit from the Help To Buy scheme, which enables eligible first-time buyers and those with a property to sell to secure a Government loan for 20% of its full price – meaning they only require a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a 5% deposit.

Doulton Brook enjoys a peaceful tree-lined setting, with the River Stour running through the development forming a tranquil focal point for this wonderful collection of new homes. Meanwhile, the canal is perfect for relaxing towpath walks or boat trips.

Located off Wollaston High Street, Doulton Brook is just a stone’s throw from the village’s range of amenities including a local supermarket, opticians, newsagents, a medical centre, hairdressers, a butcher and a boutique cake shop, plus a choice of places to eat and drink.

Meanwhile, the excellent selection of shops and leisure facilities in Stourbridge town centre are also within walking distance, including two shopping centres, bars and restaurants. Further afield, Merry Hill Shopping Park is just three miles from home offering a wealth of high street stores and boutiques.

Stourbridge boasts a host of sports clubs and facilities – including the Stourbridge War Memorial Athletic Ground and Stourbridge Football Club just half a mile away – and a leisure centre and swimming pool.

Families will appreciate the choice of schools for all ages within close proximity of Doulton Brook, including Amblecote Primary School, which was rated ‘good’ by Ofsted in its latest inspection, and Redhill School and Specialist Language College for secondary-age students and the King Edward VI College Stourbridge for sixth-formers, both rated ‘outstanding’.

Stourbridge Junction railway station is just over two miles from home, for direct services to Birmingham, while the development is well-located for road links to Dudley, Wolverhampton, Birmingham and the M5.
