High demand places Acklam Woods at the top of the tree

Leading housebuilder Miller Homes has opened the doors to its second Acklam development following the success of its nearby St Mary’s Green site, with almost 50% of released homes already snapped up.

Acklam Woods, located off Low Lane in Acklam, offers a mix of 77 contemporary, energy efficient three, four and five bedroom homes.

With prices currently starting from £254,950, disclaimer: images include optional upgrades at additional cost, now available at Acklam Woods is a selection of four-bedroom homes including The Glenmuir, The Buchan, The Buchan DA, The Crompton and The Stevenson.

Miller Homes’ latest development, which is bordered by high hedgerows creating a sense of seclusion, is proving popular amongst buyers with nearly half of the first homes to be released already reserved.

Home buyers looking to secure a high-quality new home in Middlesbrough can now explore Acklam Woods’ two stunning showhomes, the three-bedroom Orwell and the four-bedroom Buchan.

The focal point of The Orwell’s lounge is its bay window which creates a light and spacious living area. A well-designed kitchen/diner is located to the rear of the showhome with French doors leading onto the garden. Upstairs The Orwell offers a family bathroom and three well-proportioned bedrooms including the luxurious master bedroom with en-suite shower room.

A generous family home, The Buchan offers a flexible layout. The showhome’s spacious hall opens onto a large lounge with French doors overlooking the garden. The addition of a utility room offers added convenience to the impressively long kitchen and dining area, while four bedrooms and a separate study create an ideal home for growing families.

Miller Homes North East’s regional sales manager, Andrew Somerville said: “For many house hunters finding a home which would enhance their work-life balance is extremely important. Thanks to Acklam Woods’ close proximity to Middlesbrough’s town centre and the A19, combined with its ideal location nestled in between high hedgerows and trees away from the hustle and bustle makes this development a perfect choice for a variety of buyers.

“With almost half of its released homes reserved since the opening of the Acklam Woods we’re expecting high demand, as we have seen at St Mary’s Green, and buyers shouldn’t delay in visiting the development to find out more about our great range of high quality homes available.”

Miller Homes is also offering a number of purchase incentive schemes at Acklam Woods, including its Home Exchange scheme for those who have an existing property to sell and the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme for buyers in need of a helping hand.

Help to Buy offers assistance for buyers who only have a deposit of 5% through the provision of a 20% equity loan from the Government for those who meet the qualifying criteria, meaning buyers could only need to secure up to a 75% mortgage from a provider.

For existing home owners, Home Exchange from Miller Homes allows people to swap their current home for one of the leading housebuilder’s selected plots, regardless of whether they are looking to upsize, downsize or swap like-for-like.

The scheme offers a cash buyer for the property and also eliminates advertising costs and estate agents’ fees. Once Miller Homes confirms that a property qualifies for Home Exchange, an offer could be made within seven days and once a price has been agreed and a new Miller home to move to has been chosen, the transaction can progress quickly.

Located in the sought-after neighbourhood of Acklam, the development is situated within a short commute to the centre of Middlesbrough whilst the semi-rural location offers nearby woodland. Boasting easy access to the A174 these high quality homes offer a welcome retreat with local amenities and the vibrancy of the town centre just a short distance away.
