A royal retreat in Daventry

For Rob Jennens and his family, the quiet atmosphere of Royal Gardens, the Miller Homes development on Ashby Road in Daventry, offered the perfect chance to ‘get away from it all'. However, struggling to sell their home in today's climate nearly meant them missing out on their royal reception.

"We were literally about to take our house off the market when we found a Miller home that we really wanted. When the sales adviser offered us part exchange on our old house, we were really impressed with how easy it would make moving", said Rob Jennens.

Rob, along with his wife Sue, son Nathan and daughter Beckie were able to take advantage of Miller's popular part exchange scheme, meaning that they could forget the tiresome house selling process and let Miller take care of selling their home and paying the estate agents' fees. The ‘MHX' scheme meant that the Jennens had a guaranteed buyer for their old home and could move within a month - an opportunity that couldn't be missed.

Rob continued: "We were originally looking to move to Rugby, but noticed that Daventry was no further from our work commitments and offered us a better, more spacious alternative".

With its tree lined setting 15 minutes walk from the centre of Daventry, the development is ideally situated for a convenient lifestyle that is balanced by being a stones throw from Daventry's beautiful Country Park. For those with an active lifestyle the scheme also offers nearby leisure facilities including a bowling alley, fitness centre and golf course.

The Jennens home is the Golding style and features a spacious lounge with bay window and a light, airy kitchen-diner. On the first and second floors, the four generous bedrooms offer ample space for a family, whilst the master bedroom suite on the second floor features a separate dressing area and en-suite shower room.

Linda Androlia, sales director for Miller Homes said: "Since launching the part exchange scheme we've been able to help many house owners move into their dream Miller home. Our part exchange scheme is available on a selection of properties at Royal Gardens and it is fantastic for us to be able to help so many people to move".

"We are also able to offer our new MiWay shared equity scheme on select properties at the development. MiWay gives buyers the chance to pay 75% now and 25% later, whilst still owning 100% of the property - which can be of great advantage to buyers hoping to move up the housing ladder", continued Linda.

Royal Gardens is open from Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm and offers house hunters a selection of three, four and five bedroom homes. Prices range from £229,950 for a 3 bedroom detached home, to £284,950 for the James 5 bedroom detached home.
