Keenly priced homes for local families

Connells are taking reservations from local families on four new homes currently being built in the centre of Ivybridge. The terraced houses, which should be ready to move into late this year, are being offered by Signpost Housing at affordable prices in order to help local residents who often struggle to move up the property ladder when faced with competition from second home owners.

"These are really nice family homes within walking distance of schools and shops," says Connells Manager Anna Skyrme Mason. " Because there's a shortage of modern, value for money housing like this in the town, we are expecting a lot of interest in them and are therefore taking reservations off plan."

All the properties, which are priced from £164,950, have an en-suite shower room off the main bedroom as well as a family bathroom, two further bedrooms, cloakroom and lounge. The fitted kitchen, with space for a dining table and chairs, comes complete with gas hob, electric oven and fridge freezer. French doors lead out into the south facing rear garden which will be turfed by the house builder. As well as allocated parking there is also space for visitors' vehicles.

"This is a wonderful opportunity to buy a low maintenance, energy efficient modern home, backed by a ten year Zurich Insurance guarantee," says Anna Skyrme Mason. Floor plans and more information, including qualification criteria, on the homes in Western Road, are available from Connells in Glanvilles Mill, Ivybridge.
