Rural life a stone's throw from the city

Barratt brings its own ray of sunshine to Alderbury with the launch of a collection of new homes named Collingwood. The development, when complete, will be a small collection of just 14 properties comprising of stylish two, three and four bedroom homes.

Located off Grimstead Road on the outskirts of Salisbury in Alderbury, Collingwood is perfectly situated to provide the advantages of a rural lifestyle but be close enough to Salisbury for more extensive needs.

"We are delighted to be building in Alderbury and are committed to regenerating areas and providing new affordable homes," said Mark Docherty, sales director at Barratt Southampton.

"Our nearby development Bishops Gait in Salisbury has proved very successful so we wanted to continue to build in the area."

Barratt is offering a number of incentives at the Collingwood development including its excellent part exchange option, mortgage subsidy until 2010 and a new three year price guarantee.

The three year price guarantee incentive is designed to protect buyers who are worried about falling house prices in the existing climate. The way it works is simple. If you want to sell your house within three years and the value is lower than what you paid for it, Barratt will refund the difference up to a maximum of 15 per cent.

"Customers who buy one of our homes with a price guarantee will only need a mortgage for 85 per cent of its value. That's because we'll give them a deferred loan for the rest and they can pay us back when they can afford it up to 10 years upon completion. It all adds up to a big helping hand for buyers."

Alderbury offers quaint village dining and excellent access to the nearby attractions of Stonehenge and Longleat Safari Park. Salisbury racecourse is also nearby, providing entertainment for all ages. The development is in easy reach of the delights of the New Forest, Dorset coast, London, Bath, Winchester and Southampton.

Collingwood offers just four two bedroom houses, eight three bedroom houses and two four bedroom homes so visit the development as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
