Spacious apartments offer good value in Haslemere

Tantastic three-bedroom apartments in Haslemere, Surrey, are almost one-third cheaper than they were this time a year ago. In excess of 1,000 square feet and featuring a premium specification, home buyers can now snap up one of Gleeson Homes’ three-bedroom apartments at Hartswood from just £249,995 – which also drops them below the 3% stamp duty threshold.

Julie Rayner, sales director for Gleeson Homes, says: “It’s well documented that property prices have fallen significantly over the last 12 months but just recently there have been tentative signs of improvement, especially in the south of England, in figures announced by two of the country’s leading mortgage lenders, Halifax and Nationwide.

“We believe that our three-bedroom ground and first floor apartments at Hartswood now offer tremendous value-for-money based on their size, specification and location. They will be ready to move in August / September of this year so prospective home owners should really think about buying now – before it’s too late.”

The Hartswood apartments are housed in an attractive three-storey block of just six properties (the upper two apartments are sold), within a development that also features two, three, four and five-bedroom houses.

Each apartment has a fitted kitchen / dining room, separate living room, master bedroom with en-suite and fitted wardrobes, two further bedrooms and a bathroom with separate bath and shower cubicle. The kitchen specification includes integrated oven, hob and hood, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and washer dryer, granite worktops and Karndean flooring.

There’s allocated parking with each property and Haslemere is also only 50 minutes from London by train making it a commuter’s dream.

Gateway to Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire, Haslemere has always been a popular place to live and is likely to be among the first to benefit from housing market improvements.

Mark Taylor, new homes director of quality independent estate agents, Clarke Gammon Wellers, comments: “We are seeing much more activity across the board with people coming out of rented accommodation and families who maybe a year ago decided to stay put now looking to move.”

Those seeking a larger detached family home at Hartswood can also take advantage of some amazing price reductions. A four-bedroom detached ‘Oak’ style home with two bathrooms, two en-suites and a ground floor cloakroom is down to £659,995 from £730,000; while the former ‘Cedar’ five-bedroom show home has had its price cut by £65,000 to £729,995 - and comes with carpets, curtains, blinds, light fittings and landscaped gardens included.

Gleeson’s development is situated off Midhurst Road and enjoys a wooded backdrop. It’s close to Haslemere town centre and there’s a good choice of schools in the local area. Set in the glorious Surrey Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, this historic market town also boasts many shops, restaurants and cafés, which all add to the vibrant atmosphere.
