Trade up to a family home at eco-friendly development

Moving to a larger home may be easier than you think - especially if you would like to buy a family house at Hortham Village, Barratt's eco-friendly development in Almondsbury near Bristol.

"We know that people who want to move to a more spacious property may be put off by what they hear about the current credit crunch," reports Andrea Pilgrim, Barratt sales director.

"However, we can offer a part exchange package to make their move as stress free as possible. It removes all the uncertainty because Barratt is a guaranteed cash buyer - so there is no chain, no last-minute price haggling and no hidden cost.

"Part exchange is available on a number of family homes at Hortham Village, including the five-bedroom Marlowe townhouse, which has an asking price of £499,995," she added.

The Marlowe offers spacious and flexible accommodation. This includes a kitchen/breakfast room, lounge with patio doors, separate dining room, utility room, two en-suite bedrooms, two second floor bedrooms and a bedroom/study. There is a garden and detached double garage outside.

"We can offer part exchange and a monthly mortgage subsidy on a four-bedroom Radleigh detached house, which has an asking price of £389,995," Andrea continued.

"The subsidy, of up to £1,000 per month, is available until 2010 for buyers who are able to proceed immediately."

Hortham Village HorthaHorHoroffers a selection of two, three, four and five-bedroom properties, and all the homes have been designed to be eco-friendly. Features include solar panels, low energy light bulbs and waste separation units.

The development is surrounded by 50 acres of tranquil woodland and is adorned with open landscape areas, attractive street layouts and courtyards. It is proving to be very popular with families and people looking for executive homes in an attractive location. The nearby M5 offers quick access to Bristol city centre and Cribbs Causeway.
