More home for less in Widnes

“Home buyers are choosing to live in Widnes because the town combines a great location with value for money” says Sue Warwick, Miller Homes Managing Director.

Miller Homes’ Cavendish Gardens development offers people a choice of quality apartments and family homes and has become the property hot spot in the area, selling over 50% of the development since opening in March 2007.

Widnes home buyers will get more home for their money, as house prices in the town are, for now typically 28% lower than the national average. Figures from the latest Halifax House Price Index show that the average price for a detached home in the UK is £196,893, whilst in Widnes the average price is £142,555.

Besides attractive house prices, Widnes also benefits from a prime location, situated between Manchester and Liverpool. With easy access to the M62 and M56 motorways, Widnes has superb communication links by road, rail and air. Widnes is also within an hour’s drive of the North Wales coast and Lake District.

There is also extensive investment in the area, from both Halton Borough Council and private developers. A major regeneration programme to improve the town centre is currently underway and new commercial developments, such as the Heron Business Park in the Widnes Waterfront Economic Development Zone, and Warrington’s Omega project are encouraging businesses to relocate in the area

Miller Homes’ Cavendish Gardens development has something for everyone wanting to take advantage of what Widnes has to offer. The development includes 2 bedroom apartments, up to 5 bedroom family homes.

The 5 bedroom ‘Langley’ is a spacious three storey detached family home. The ‘Langley’ combines a traditional exterior with a modern interior for 21st century family living. On the ground floor of the ‘Langley’ are a spacious lounge, separate dining room, cloakroom and well appointed kitchen, with a breakfast area. The master bedroom, with en-suite, is on the first floor, along with bedrooms four and five, and a good sized family bathroom. On the top floor are two further bedrooms and a shower suite. The layout of the ‘Langley’ gives a modern family flexible space to suit their specific needs.

The 2 bedroom ‘Chatham’ and ‘Bridgewater’ apartments will appeal to both young professionals and retired couples. The easy to maintain interior of the apartments combines style with practical convenience.

The Cavendish Gardens properties are even more attractive with two incentive options available. Miller Homes is helping homebuyers fight the cost of moving. It is offering on selected plots a subsidised fixed rate mortgage at 1.99% for one year, or if you have a property to sell it is offering 105% valuation on your old property [so straight away you are 5% better off].

Prices for a two bedroom apartment at Cavendish Gardens start at £136,950. Four bedroom homes are available from £209,950, with the 5 bedroom detached ‘Langley’ priced at £319,950.

The Cavendish Gardens Marketing Suite, at Derby Road, Widnes, is open Thursday to Monday, from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
