Champagne tasting with Barratt

The mulberries, a superb new development of spacious four and five-bedroom houses in Little Canfield, near Bishop's Stortford, will be launched for sale by Barratt Eastern Counties at 10am on Saturday 6th September.

Prospective homebuyers are invited to celebrate the launch with a complimentary champagne tasting, led by expert Jiles Halling, formerly of Moet & Chandon, who will introduce champagne lovers to the delights of small independent producers.

Prices start at just £356,995 for a four-bedroom house and £479,995 for a five-bedroom house. Barratt is offering a very wide range of incentives to help buyers in all situations, including payment of Stamp Duty or the five per cent deposit or providing free carpets within the sales price.

Or if you have an existing home to sell, Barratt can buy your property through its popular Part Exchange Scheme leaving you free to buy one of its new homes. This takes away the worry of being in a chain and you can even stay in your old home until the new one is ready. With no estate agent fees to pay, or HIP pack to prepare, you save money too.

The new Malvern five-bedroom show home will be open for viewing. Designed by Derek Taylor, presenter of ITV1's 60 Minute Makeover and managing director of top interior design company Ishoka, the stunning interiors aim to inspire homebuyers with a wealth of creative ideas.

The Mulberries is located in the new village of Priors Green, surrounded by a landscape of rolling fields and pretty woodland, yet just five miles from Bishop's Stortford, with its excellent amenities. Priors Green has been designed with families in mind and there are plans for a Village Centre, with shops and a community centre, adjacent to a new primary school.

Transport links from The Mulberries are excellent. It is just minutes from the M11, new A120 and Stansted Airport. For commuters, the 45-minute Stansted Express train service from Stansted to London's Liverpool Street runs every 15 minutes.

The first phase of The Mulberries offers a choice of eight different house styles, ranging from a traditional two-storey house to a more contemporary three-storey townhouse. Interiors are beautifully designed to use space and light in the most effective way. Every house has a generously sized garden and many have their own private garage.

Adam Lawrence, Barratt's Regional Managing Director London and the Thames Gateway, comments: "The combination of the high specification, great location and proximity to London and Stansted are expected to create a high level of interest in these family homes"
