Persimmon brings new homes to Corby

Persimmon Homes Midlands has launched a brand new residential development in Corby. Situated on Rockingham Road, Rockingham Court follows the recent sell out success of Persimmon’s previous Corby development, Welland Grange and offers a range of over 150 new homes in a choice of one to four bedroom designs.

“We are delighted to be bringing Rockingham Court to Corby,” commented Jenny Spaughton, area sales manager for Persimmon Homes Midlands. “Our previous Corby development, Welland Grange helped us establish an excellent reputation in the area for building high quality homes in prime locations. We have already received interest here from a diverse mix of purchasers including local buyers and those looking to commute to both nearby towns and further afield. Once completed Rockingham Court will offer an exciting and highly desirable new community within Corby, meeting the needs of this fast expanding town.”

Rockingham Court enjoys a highly desirable location close to Rockingham Castle and within easy reach of both Corby town centre and the nearby town of Uppingham. Situated close to the A116, the development is also excellently placed for easy road access to Peterborough, Leicester and Kettering town centre which offers rail access to London St. Pancras in around an hour. Plans have also recently been submitted for a new train station in Corby which, if approved, will provide local residents with even faster commuter routes.

A thriving Northamptonshire town, Corby offers an excellent range of leisure and sporting facilities including an £18 million International 50m swimming pool and leisure complex which is due to open in 2008. Combined with The Rockingham Triangle Athletics and Football Stadium, the town council is hoping these first-rate facilities will bring the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to Corby. With a rich history dating back to the Vikings, the town also offers a wealth of local attractions from Rockingham Castle and Kirby Hall to Rockingham Motor Speedway and Corby Town Football Club. Alongside this, the town centre is home to a range of familiar high street names whilst the area also boasts an excellent choice of schools from pre-school to higher education.

A selection of homes has just been released to the market at Rockingham Court with prices starting from £114,950. Purchasers at the development can take advantage of a range of incentive schemes including Move in for £99 and the opportunity to part exchange their existing property with Persimmon, to ensure a smooth move.
