First time buyers follow in parents’ footsteps

A young couple have just moved into their first Redrow home following in the footsteps of their parents, who also snapped up a Redrow home 30 years ago. First time buyers Marie Burkhart and her partner Rohan Robinson, both 24, bought their dream home at Imperial Heights at Jennett’s Park, Bracknell.

Marie, who works in customer services, said: “Rohan’s parents bought their first home from Redrow and had always been really happy so we went straight to Redrow before looking anywhere else.

“Jennett’s Park is perfect for us; it’s close to work, it’s got great transport links and we love the fact that the houses are nicely spread out. The development feels really spacious and so does the house.”

As well as featuring a country park of 91 acres in the future, Jennett’s Park, a joint venture between Redrow Homes and Persimmon Homes, will also come complete with a doctor’s surgery, primary school and 10 play areas. Approximately half of the development is set aside for open space, retained woodland and recreational areas.

Since graduating from university, Marie and Rohan, an IT consultant, have rented a home together but decided the time was right to jump on to the property ladder.

Marie said: “We were renting in Reading but really wanted a home of our own. We went for a three-bedroom Hardwick home so we’ve got a second bedroom for friends to stay over and a third bedroom we are using as an office. We’ve bought a lot of new stuff for the house but there’s still more to buy – we still need curtains!”

Paul Moran, sales director for Redrow Homes (Southern), said: “We’re delighted that Rohan’s parents have been so happy in their Redrow home and I’m sure that Marie and Rohan will be to.

“Jennett’s Park has got a real community feel, and this will continue to grow as more and more residents move into their new properties.”

Marie and Rohan are two of a handful of residents now moved in at Imperial Heights. There is a selection of homes available at the development, including two bedroom apartments, from £218,950, as well as three, four and five-bedroom houses, with prices from £287,950.

Just five minutes away from Bracknell and 20 minutes from Reading, the location near to the A329 Berkshire Way also gives it easy access to the M3 and M4 – perfect for commuters.
