Sharon Eldred, sales manager for Persimmon Homes Thames Valley, comments: "Househunters no longer have to choose between buying an older property or a new build as our selection of four bedroom homes at Royal Gardens have been specifically designed with traditional external façades, many are detached properties with large front and rear gardens and long driveways, giving the development a conventional and traditional feel.

"What's more, homeowners will reap the rewards of buying new as modern homes are built with the latest products and to Part L of the latest building regulations making them more energy efficient than their older counterparts and there are also no tedious and expensive renovation costs to worry about."

The ground floor of the traditional Claremont housetype includes an entrance hallway, kitchen with handy utility room, lounge with French doors leading to the rear garden and separate dining room.
