Home is where the height is in Corby

Looking for extra space, extra flexibility and extra value for money? Then look no further than Redrow @ Oakley Vale, Corby, where the perks of three-storey living are plentiful. Three-storey homes have become increasingly common throughout the UK as government planning guidelines promote the need for developers to be economic with their land – which means utilising upward, instead of outward space.

Modern life has also had an impact on the type of housing we need. Families are now less conventional, with a rise in step-families and more unusual living arrangements. Friends also frequently buy together in order to get on the property ladder. These changes mean the demand for a flexible type of living space is higher than ever.

Award-winning Redrow Homes’ Oakley Vale venture, which boasts a picturesque location that is perfect for commuters, offers this contemporary layout in its range of stylish three-bedroom terraced Lambourne homes.

Cleverly converted to create a whole extra floor of living accommodation, the normally redundant roof space of the Lambourne houses a luxurious master bedroom complete with en-suite.

With two further bedrooms and a main bathroom on the first floor, the Lambourne offers plenty of living space and privacy.

The ground floor of this delightful property contains the open plan kitchen, dining and living area, with patio doors onto the garden – a space that is ideal for entertaining friends or simply relaxing and spending time with the family. There’s also a ground floor cloakroom.

Tonia Tyler, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), says: “The three-storey, smartly designed Lambourne offers a contemporary solution to modern day life and is a house style that has proven popular with buyers at all stages of the property buying ladder, from young families right through to ‘empty nesters’.

“An extra floor gives home owners the option to be creative and flexible with their internal layout. With the master bedroom in the Lambourne being tucked away on the top floor, parents can get much needed peace and quiet and it frees up other rooms for different uses. Many of Oakley Vale’s residents who don’t need three bedrooms have used the extra space in their three-storey home for an office, a gym, a yoga room or for guest rooms.”

Prices for the three-bedroom, three-storey terraced Lambourne homes currently start at £149,995 – including a garage.

Redrow also offers a range of help, advice and potential incentives under the umbrella of ‘re:assure’, a package which is designed to make moving home as easy as possible, from the moment of first enquiry right through to after the customer has moved in.

Redrow @ Oakley Vale is perfect for commuters, with the M1 and M6 within easy reach, as well as the A14, with links to the M1 and Cambridge. London is around one hour and 35 minutes away by train, while the main shopping areas of Milton Keynes and Northampton are both around half an hour’s drive from the development.

Corby itself offers a range of amenities such as shops and restaurants and just a few minutes from the town centre is beautiful woodland, with views across the Welland Valley and the surrounding countryside. Corby’s boating lake and the 200 square mile Rockingham Forest are also close by.

Corby is currently the subject of a large-scale project to regenerate and modernise the town, managed by North Northants Development Company. As well as building new houses, schools and shops, a better transport infrastructure is planned, together with a new arts centre, library and leisure facilities, including a 50 metre swimming pool.
