Up and coming Corby is ideal place to live

Corby has been described as one of the UK’s most exciting property hotspots and with a brand new £180 million town centre being developed which includes a programme of new housing developments as well as leisure and cultural facilities, now is the ideal time to buy at David Wilson South Midlands’ The Cedars development in Oakley Vale.

The Cedars is situated on Thursh Close in the consortium of Oakley Vale which is an exciting new community located to the south-east of Corby near to the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside known as Rockingham Forest. Offering homebuyers a selection of one- and two- bedroom apartments as well as three- and four- bedroom houses, this stunning development has housing solutions for everyone from first time buyers, couples, families and downsizers alike.

The Cedars is one of many new developments being planned in the area and both public and private sectors are working together to deliver projects worth more than a quarter of a million pounds. This will bring not only new houses to the area but also schools, shops, a new arts centre, library and leisure facilities including a state-of-the-art 50 metre swimming pool complex which will undoubtedly help to put Corby on the map.

It is not just the new homes on offer that make Corby a great place to live. A recent survey by Oxford Economics named this Northamptonshire town as the least likely place to be effected by the economic downturn and with a low unemployment rate of three per cent, this will be welcome news to residents during the current economic climate.

A brand new train station is due to open in March and with travel times of just over one hour to London, the bright lights of the capital city is within easy reaching distance.

The area is served by more than 30 bus services which connect most towns and villages in the area and there is a national express coach service which runs to the cities of Leicester, Nottingham, Leeds and Glasgow.
