Gurkhas can truly call a house a home with Bellway

Bellway Wessex has joined the ranks of those, including Joanna Lumley, who want to record their delight at the High Court ruling that Gurkhas may settle in Britain. The housebuilder is creating homes in Swindon where its St John’s Court scheme has attracted a large number of Gurkhas.

Nearly three quarters of the homes purchased there have been bought by Gurkhas. Sandra Barton, Sales Director of Bellway Wessex, said: “We have got to know many of these families well as they have created this growing community in Swindon. We are thrilled that now they can truly feel at home not just in our houses and apartments but in Britain as a whole. The ruling is excellent news, indeed, that justice has been done. Now we can make these homes available, we hope, to even more members of this fine community”.

Bellway’s St John’s Court in Swindon offers not only attractive homes at very attractive prices but in addition, there is no Stamp Duty payable on this site. St John’s Court is a scheme of 180 new homes comprising 1& 2 bedroom apartments and 2 & 3 bedroom homes under two miles away from the centre of Swindon. Prices start at £99,000 for apartments and £135,000 for houses and to make viewing even easier the housebuilder has just introduced a late evening opening on Thursdays.

Swindon town centre is on the doorstep and under two miles away from St John’s Court, offering shopping on a grand scale. From high-street trends and designer finery to a regular farmers’ market, there is something for all tastes. For the health conscious, the Link Centre and Oasis health suite are on hand.

The area is also well placed for commuters to Reading, London and Bristol, as train services reach Reading within 30 minutes, London Paddington within an hour and Bristol Temple Meads between 30 and 45 minutes. Whilst for motorists, the M4 is within easy reach.
