Athlete Caitlin makes a splash in Loughborough

Bellway East Midlands welcomes first time buyer and athlete, Caitlin McClatchey, to The Firs development in Loughborough. With the help of her parents, Caitlin has bought the four bedroom Worcester house type and currently rents out her spare rooms to her fellow athlete friends.

Part time student and professional swimmer Caitlin, originally from Northampton, has moved to the area for easy access to Loughborough University where she studies.

A talented and very busy individual, Caitlin is studying towards a degree in politics and social psychology, as well as enduring not only ten rigorous training sessions per week, but also several gym visits too. Currently in her second year of university, Caitlin divides her time between her two commitments.

Caitlin said: “I love my new home and it’s great fun to be living with my friends and having people to share it with. It is very well planned and all the rooms are pretty good sizes too.

“We’ve settled in to The Firs really well and I like the fact that it’s close enough for the daily commute to university, but far enough to be able to get away from it all.

“The staff at Bellway have been fantastic. The move was really smooth and they quickly dealt with any queries I had during the process. I’m really lucky to have such great parents too, who have helped me get a foot onto the property ladder.”

Sally Cole, Bellway sales adviser at The Firs, said: “The Worcester housetype is a very spacious, well planned property, with accommodation spreading over three floors. The Firs is the perfect development for anyone who wants to buy a new house in a place where there’s a real community feel. Caitlin and her friends seem to be very happy here”.

The Firs boasts a variety of housestyles that attract an array of prospective buyers, from stylish two-bedroom apartments for first time buyers, to four bedroom executive homes for larger families.

Properties available at The Firs include the three bedroom Coach House priced from £199,950 and the four bedroom Spinney, which is available from £299,950.

The development is set in a semi-rural location, close to local amenities, including Gorse Covert shopping centre and Morrison’s supermarket. The development also offers easy access to the University, Loughborough town centre and junction 23 of the M1 via Epinal Way.
