Woodland showhomes now open in Stanion

Two stylish showhomes in a woodland setting are attracting a wealth of visitors to South Wood, George Wimpey East Midlands' brand new development in Stanion, Northamptonshire.

The four-bedroom ‘Ainsdale' and three-bedroom ‘Fermain' are delightfully decorated and furnished to complement the natural setting of a development which enjoys 50% open green space.

Forest glade greens and pure whites offer a serene and soothing effect in the ‘Ainsdale', while autumn reds and organic creams give the ‘Fermain' a relaxed and ambient feel.

With magnificent accommodation over three floors, the ‘Ainsdale' is an ideal home for families of all ages. The light and airy kitchen with adjoining breakfast room runs the full depth of the property and benefits from a separate utility room. A formal dining room with French doors to a private garden, a guest cloakroom and entrance hallway complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a large lounge with Juliet balcony and a splendid master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms - one which could be used as a study - and a main bathroom are found on the top floor.

The three-bedroom ‘Fermain' comprises a ground floor kitchen/breakfast room and large lounge/dining room, two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, and a master bedroom with en-suite on the top floor.

Like all new homes at the new development, the showhomes enjoy a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

South Wood will comprise 179 properties from George Wimpey's County Range of high quality homes, well-suited to the rural location.

Customers can currently choose from two bedroom apartments priced from £139,995, three-bedroom homes from £179,995 and the four-bedroom ‘Ainsdale' design from £189,995. Those reserving now can select beautiful plots with woodland views.

South Wood, on the edge of the pretty village of Stanion, will be interspersed with village greens, ponds and streams and served by a range of new community facilities, including a small primary school due to open next year, a square of shops and amenities, recreation areas, and paths, cycleways and bus routes. It will also be in the catchment area for the new Business Academy at Priors Hall, Corby, which opens in September.

Stanion village has a choice of pubs, a village community centre and an imposing 13th Century church. The town of Corby is just three miles away, where £60 million investment is providing new shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, schools, colleges and thousands of jobs. A direct, 60-minute rail service to London is due to operate from later this year.

With this on the horizon, homes in the Corby catchment area a great long-term investment.

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.

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.

To see the showhomes at South Wood, visit the development off Longcroft Road, Stanion and open daily from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
