Move to a new home in Dorset this Christmas

Bag a great deal for Christmas and move in before the festivities begin at Barratt’s attractive Dorset developments. Properties on sale at the Purbeck Gate development in Wool and Lytchett Matravers’ Western Gate include larger family homes with three, four and five bedrooms, with many plots ready for pre-Christmas completion.

Barratt is offering fantastic part exchange deals to help house hunters wanting to upsize, to settle in to a brand new home in time for the festive season – as well as the opportunity to save money at a time of year when finances can often be stretched.

The Barratt part exchange option is open to those looking to trade up from an existing property. It allows buyers to swap an old residence for a brand new Barratt home. Part exchange avoids the unpredictability of being part of a property chain and also cuts out estate agents fees.

“Families whose numbers have expanded but who think their home-buying capacity hasn’t, could be in for a pleasant surprise at Western Gate and Purbeck Gate,” said Catherine Ferguson, Barratt sales director.

“Both of these developments offer excellent family living, and what better gift than to be in a new, spacious home at such a special time of year.”

Purbeck Gate offers a selection of three, four or five bedroom homes. Located in the tranquil village of Wool on the isle of Purbeck and just five miles from Lulworth Cove, a local beauty spot.

Situated on the River Frome, Wool, once a small village, has grown significantly over recent decades, with military and research establishments situated nearby. The village lies just outside the area in Dorset known as the Isle of Purbeck.

Tucked away in the south eastern corner of Dorset, the Isle of Purbeck is around 60 sq miles of land that is surrounded on almost all sides by water. The exceptional landscape in this ‘island’ is the perfect destination for ramblers, watersport enthusiasts, naturalists, rock climbers and ornithologists.

Western Gate, in Lytchett Matravers, is now beginning to take shape and, when complete, will offer 44 homes in total. These will include a mixture of contemporary one and two-bedroom coach house apartments – perfect for first-time buyers, couples and singles – and three and four-bedroom houses for families.

With a fantastic location overlooking Poole Harbour, Western Gate is situated between Wimborne and Wareham and has easy access to the A350 – it is just a short drive to Poole and some of the best beaches in England, including Sandbanks.

The development is also within the catchment area for the 2006 ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rated Lytchett Matravers Primary School and the nearby Lytchett Minster Secondary School.
