A fantastic offer on ‘Eco’ townhouses in Gravesend

Just two very special townhouses remain for sale at Expressions, Barratt’s development in Gravesend. The homes are special as both have a wealth of ‘green’ features and one is, in addition, kitted out with the very latest technology. Originally used as show homes, these outstanding houses are being sold for just £299,995, with all the carpets, furniture and even a huge plasma screen television included in the price!

“This is a fantastic offer,” comments Adam Lawrence, Chairman of Barratt London & Thames Gateway, “These very stylish homes already have an exceptionally high specification and the extra features we are including make them a very tempting proposition.”

These ultra-modern, three-storey townhouses are part of a row of just eight homes in a quiet area, close to the centre of Gravesend. Both homes have gardens together with two allocated parking spaces each.

With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a massive open plan living/dining/kitchen area on the ground floor and a large separate sitting room on the first floor, these light and airy homes offer a huge amount of flexible space. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped, right down to the fridge/freezer, microwave and washer/dryer.

The special Eco features include a harvesting system that gathers rainwater and pumps it directly into the house to reduce water consumption while solar panels on the roof provide green energy for water heating, helping to reduce electricity and gas bills.

For those who love the latest technology, one of the homes has television screens on every floor, music in every room and excellent security features, including a CCTV security camera on the front door. There is a large LCD screen in the main living area, a 37” plasma screen in the upstairs sitting room and another LCD screen in the master bedroom. A touch screen PC with broadband access downstairs can play music in any room of the house through integrated speakers while the integrated sound system allows you to talk to anyone, anywhere on the house via the intercom.

Gravesend’s major regeneration programme and ambitious transport link plans are rapidly boosting the town’s popularity. Just 25 miles from central London, Gravesend has excellent road links with London, Gatwick, the Channel Ports and the North via the A2 and the Dartford Tunnel. There is a very frequent train service into London’s Charing Cross taking less than an hour. Eurostar services begin from the nearby Ebbsfleet station in November this year, with regular services to Paris, Lille and Brussels and, from 2009, the new High Speed One rail link will provide amazingly fast 20-minute links with London’s St Pancras station.
