Up-and-coming: Corby

Leading housebuilder George Wimpey has opened the doors to the stunning new showhomes at Appleton Gate - its brand new development on the outskirts of Corby, Northamptonshire.

Both the ‘Mallow’ and ‘Scarlet’ have been beautifully decorated and superbly styled by the developer’s team of interior designers to highlight the spacious layout and many superb features of these three-storey properties.

The homes are decorated in predominantly neutral colourways with accents of red, black and grey used to dramatic effect in the three-bedroom ‘Scarlet’, while shades of white and lime combine to offer a stunning setting in the four-bedroom ‘Mallow’.

The thoughtfully designed ‘Mallow’ housetype is one of the first of the new range of homes to be built in the region and is the first three-storey home to be built with an integral garage

The ‘Scarlet’, for example, is characterised by a large combined living/dining room with French doors to the rear garden, a thoughtfully-designed combined kitchen/breakfast room, a separate entrance hallway and a guest cloakroom.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two bedrooms and the family bathroom.

On the top floor, the master bedroom offers extensive accommodation comprising the large bedroom, adjoining dressing area and spacious en-suite shower room.

Like all new homes at Appleton Gate, the ’Scarlet’ enjoys a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Properties currently available at the development include the luxury four-bedroom ‘Citrine’ priced £227,995 and the spacious three-storey, four-bedroom ‘Claret’, starting from £187,995.

George Wimpey’s easymover programme provides a range of special incentives on selected homes including support for first time buyers - while customers with a house to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder finds a buyer for their current property and guarantees 100% of the market value and pays the estate agents’ fees.

Homebuyers can also take advantage of George Wimpey’s House 2 Home bespoke moving package comprising free UK removal regardless of distance or size of property, full packing and unpacking service and insurance cover.

Appleton Gate is a select development of 100 homes conveniently located less than four miles from Corby town centre, home to a vast array of independent and high street stores, leisure facilities, public houses and restaurants, as well as schools for children of all ages.

Closer still, a pub and restaurant and a large supermarket are both just a short drive away.

Commuters will appreciate the convenient access to the A6003 and the A14 - providing easy links to the M6 and M1 - and regular services from Corby rail station to the main line at Kettering, putting London just an hour away by train.

Over the next few years, up-and-coming Corby is to undergo a visionary transformation, including a brand new £60 million town centre with new shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, new schools and colleges and thousands of new jobs.
