Three great reasons to move to Corby

With Corby in Northamptonshire all set for a £60 million investment, now’s the opportunity for homebuyers to invest now in a bright new future. George Wimpey East Midlands has three stunning developments within the town, where homes are being snapped up fast by those already aware that they can get a great deal more for their money today.

Over the next few years new shopping, leisure and cultural facilities will be created in Corby town centre, as well new schools, colleges and thousands of new jobs – and, from 2008, a direct, 60-minute rail service to London.

With this on the horizon, house prices are set to increase, making homes in Corby a great long-term investment – and that’s why sales are soaring at three of the best new developments in the area.

Appleton Gate, Poppyfields, and its sister-development The Croft, offer a wide selection of properties to suit all homebuyers, from those taking their first steps on the property ladder, to those looking to move to something bigger, or to invest in a buy to let.

The ‘Davenport’ at Poppyfields, for example, is just one of the spacious family homes available at the developments.

Priced from just £174,995, this contemporary three-storey, three-bedroom townhouse features a superb combined living room/dining room with French doors to the rear garden, perfect for family life and enjoying the company of friends.

The ground floor is completed by a thoughtfully-designed kitchen, a separate entrance hallway and a guest cloakroom, while upstairs, the landing leads to two generously-proportioned 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. Deep Velux windows give the rooms a bright and airy feel.

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

In addition, customers can currently choose from two-bedroom apartments priced from £125,995, three-bedroom homes starting at £152,995, and four-bedroom styles from £191,995.

George Wimpey’s easymover programme provides a range of special incentives on selected properties 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 - guaranteeing 100% of the market value – and pays the estate agents’ fees.

Building on the success of its popular easymover programme, the housebuilder’s ‘easymover secure’ scheme offers all the existing benefits – with the added incentive of, if you don’t sell your house within 28 days then George Wimpey (with partner Move With Us) will buy it from you!

Customers can also take advantage of the leading housebuilder’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.

The Croft, Poppyfields and Appleton Gate are within easy reach of 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.

For commuters, the developments are a short drive from the A14, providing easy links to the M6 and M1, and regular services operate from Corby rail station to the main line at Kettering, putting London just an hour away by train.

Appleton Gate Sales Centre is located off Headway, while the Sales Centres for The Croft and Poppyfields can be found off Butland Way. Each is open seven days a week from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
