Be a part of a brand new community at Stanion

A brand new community is coming to the Northamptonshire countryside, and with demand for upmarket homes in this beautiful part of the world high, leading housebuilder George Wimpey East Midlands is already taking reservations.

South Wood, on the edge of the pretty Northamptonshire village of Stanion, builds on the success of George Wimpey’s Mawsley Village development, a contemporary Northamptonshire village which draws on the unique tradition and architecture of the surrounding areas.

Like Mawsley, homes at South Wood will be served by a range of new community facilities, including a small primary school due to open next year, a village square comprising selected shops and amenities, and a number of recreation areas. South Wood will be in the catchment area for the new Business Academy at Priors Hall, Corby, which opens this September.

Stanion village itself, just a short stroll from the new homes, has a choice of pubs, a village community centre and an imposing 13th Century church, while there is public access to two beautiful ancient woodlands

Interspersed with village greens, landscaped ponds and attractive streams, homes at South Wood will be served by a network of paths, cycle ways and bus routes offering quick links to Corby – just three miles from the development.

With a £60 million investment in the town’s regeneration, it’s little wonder home-buyers and investors are realising the great potential of living close to Corby.

New shopping, leisure and cultural facilities are being created in its centre, as well as new schools, colleges and thousands of new jobs – and, from later this year, a direct, 60-minute rail service to London will operate.

With this on the horizon, house prices are set to increase, making homes in the Corby catchment area a great long-term investment.

South Wood will comprise 179 homes and is set to premiere George Wimpey’s County Range of new, high quality designs. Mainly detached, family properties, the collection is well-suited to the rural location, while a selection of apartments will also be available, catering for first-time buyers, commuters and buy-to-let investors.

The four-bedroom, three-storey ‘Lulworth’, for example, is just one of the spacious homes which can now be reserved.

Priced from £279,995, this magnificent design is characterised by a light and airy kitchen with adjoining breakfast room running the full depth of the property, a separate utility room, a dining room with French doors to the rear garden, a guest cloakroom and entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a large lounge and a splendid master bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

Three further bedrooms – one which could be used alternatively as a study – and a family bathroom can be found on the top floor.

Like all new homes at the new development, the ‘Lulworth’ 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 one and two bedroom apartments priced from £149,995 and three-bedroom homes from £179,995.

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 easymover, 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.
