Western Gate - great for families

Barratt Homes’ Western Gate development is proving very popular with young families looking to move into a brand new home in the beautiful rural location of Lytchett Matravers.

The development is within the catchment area of the 2006 ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rated Lytchett Matravers Primary School and the nearby Lytchett Minster Secondary School – both considered among the best schools in Dorset.

Western Gate comprises traditional three and four bedroom homes, ideal for families, as well as more contemporary apartments, perfect for first time buyers.

“This development will feature 44 homes and is in a fabulous setting. The larger properties are being snapped up by families because of the proximity to excellent schools,” said Heather Young, sales negotiator based at the development.

“Western Gate is well under way and is starting to take shape. Barratt Homes is now offering its Agency Selling option on a number of properties with a part exchange option in the future. The award-winning housebuilder will sell your present property - completely free of charge - and give you the full market value. This means no chain, no estate agent's fees and no bridging loans.

“We aim to make buying a Barratt Homes property as stress-free as possible, we often see people going through an awful time trying to sell an existing property so we aim to take that away and make moving into a new Barratt home an enjoyable experience.”

The development has been designed to create a healthy community mix with communal space and many homes having gardens. Buyers have included families, but the variety of property types have also attracted professionals, new homebuyers and retired couples.
Lytchett Matravers offers an idyllic location yet with excellent transport links. The village centre offers a Shopping Centre and small shops, as well as pubs and local amenities. It has a thriving community and is within easy access of the A350 offering a short drive to the city of Poole which boasts a bustling Quay, some of the best beaches in England, including Sandbanks, and a stunning natural harbour.

With a fantastic location overlooking Poole Harbour, Western Gate also benefits from being at the gateway to the Purbeck Hills and Dorset heathland – and is situated between Wimborne and Wareham.

Prices start from £259,995 for a three bedroom home and from £389,995 for a four bedroom property. For further information, log on to Barratthomes.co.uk.
