A development with regal aspirations
From studying the Tudors and Stuarts at primary school, to the draw of stately homes and new films including Elizabeth The Golden Age, it seems we Brits simply cant get enough of our regal history. And while most of us can only dream of living in the opulence displayed at top tourist attractions such as Hampton Court Palace, one royally named new development in Stevenage is proving a hit with house hunters.
Beaufort Gardens, named in recognition of Lady Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry VII who was in turn responsible for the entire Tudor dynasty, is Persimmon Homes’ latest development in the town. Situated off Brick Kiln Road, the select scheme of just 45 new homes has seen properties snapped up by those looking to part exchange their existing property and make a swift move to a home with royal connections:
“The creation of new home developments is often as much about recognising the past as looking to the future,” commented Elaine Stratford, sales director for Persimmon Homes Thames Valley.
“We Brits are extremely proud of our heritage and Persimmon Homes was thrilled to name this development after Margaret Beaufort who whilst living in the middle ages, was in many ways a very modern woman. In 1441 she was a politician, landowner, founder of colleges and patron of the arts but above all she was a devoted mother and it is careful blend of her traditional values with ground-breaking ambitions which we aimed to reflect at Beaufort Gardens. The development offers a range of homes all of which have been carefully designed to complement the existing vernacular whilst also offering everything house hunters expect in a 21st century home from chic bathroom suites to internet cabling.”
Situated on a former allotment and arranged around an attractive central area of open space, Beaufort Gardens offers properties ranging from two bedroom apartments to three and four bedroom homes suitable for first time buyers, couples and growing families. Similar to Henry VIII who swapped a London townhouse for Thomas Wolsey’s palace which he transformed into Hampton Court Palace, purchasers at Beaufort Gardens can now part exchange their current property for a new home at the development.
One of the easiest ways in which to secure a brand new home at Beaufort Gardens, part exchange allows purchasers to leave their old property in Persimmon Homes’ capable hands and focus on the excitement of owning a brand new home.
Properties at the development are selling swiftly with all but two of the aptly named Aragon and Boleyn apartments now reserved. Celebrating this success, the remaining apartment properties are available with five percent deposit paid, £500 towards legal fees, £250 towards survey fees and carpet throughout. Properties are priced from £184,950. Equally popular, just nine houses remain at Beaufort Gardens including the Dorchester Home of the Week. This stylish three bedroom mid terrace home is now available for £239,950 and ready for immediate occupation.
Beaufort Gardens is located within easy reach of the A1 which in turn provides links to the M25 motorway and is ideally placed for the local road network.
