Homes are selling like hotcakes at Harvest Gate

Homes at George Wimpey's Harvest Gate development are being snapped up fast as buyers realise the potential savings of owning a brand new property in Watford.

Eleven homes have been purchased in just two weeks, bucking the national trend of slowing sales, but with four-bedroom homes priced from £259,950 - a staggering £170,000 below the cost of a similar-sized property in the same local area* - and three-bedroom designs priced £247,500, there's little wonder people are choosing to buy brand new.

The delightful four-bedroom ‘Bluebell', for example, features a living/dining room with French doors to the rear garden, a kitchen with breakfast area, a separate entrance hallway and a guest cloakroom.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a further bedroom can be found on the top floor. A garage and private garden complete the design of this popular home.
In common with all new properties at Harvest Gate, the ‘Bluebell' enjoys a high standard specification including central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

On selected plots buyers can also receive extra help from George Wimpey who will pay their stamp duty, subject to terms and conditions.

Positioned close to a choice of supermarkets and just a short drive from The Harlequin shopping centre, Harvest Gate is the ideal choice for couples and families of all ages.

The area is home to a leisure park with cinema, bowling and children's activities, a peaceful common for walking, cycling and picnics, a selection of golf courses and a sports centre and swimming pool, while the bars and restaurants of Watford offer a vibrant night-life.

For commuters, Garston Train Station is within walking distance of Harvest Gate, offering a regular service to St Albans Abbey and putting Central London approximately 40 minutes away, while buses run to Watford Junction and Watford High Street. The M1 and M25 are less than 10 minutes from the development.
