Taking centre stage

Central by name, central by location, Fairview New Homes' Grand Central development in Royal Tunbridge Wells pushes all of the buttons for purchasers looking for a new home in one of the most desirable towns in Kent.

Grand Central offers a selection of stylish apartments and houses in the very heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Comprising 61, two bedroom apartments located in three blocks and four well-planned four bedroom townhouses - which are now all sold - the development caters for all tastes and requirements.

Purchasers keen to secure a brand new apartment at Grand Central will be attracted to Fairview New Homes' Flying Start incentive - a scheme which allows purchasers to buy 100 per cent of a property for just 75 per cent of the price.

Jim Holliday, Sales Director of Fairview New Homes, explains how the scheme works. "Flying Start is a great way for first time buyers to join the property ladder," he says. "Buyers need to get a mortgage for 75 per cent of the purchase price, and Fairview New Homes will pay the remaining 25 per cent. There is no interest or rent to pay on the balance, it just has to be paid back after ten years or when the home is sold."

Each of the apartment blocks benefits from its own courtyard communal garden, and each of the homes has been carefully considered to maximise space and natural light, and interiors have been designed with timeless natural tones to create a relaxing and welcoming environment. Homes also feature a fitted kitchen, stainless steel oven, an extractor hood and a washer/dryer.

Bathrooms benefit from Ideal Standard white sanitaryware with chrome-finish fittings and other features throughout include beech effect internal doors, a glowworm condensing combi-boiler and lockable windows.

Grand Central is located on the edge of Royal Tunbridge Wells, just over half a mile from Tunbridge Wells Station and a short stroll from the fashionable town centre. The town centre is a retail haven and is home to the Royal Victoria Place Shopping Centre as well as a selection of independent shops and boutiques and some major high street names. The town has a wide selection of wine bars, pubs and restaurants and also has a state-of-the-art sports centre.

With Flying Start, a two bedroom apartment can be purchased for just £123,750. on the open market, the price would be £165,000. For further information, log on to fairview.co.uk.
