Preserve your place at exclusive village development

House-hunters have an amazing opportunity to live in a highly sought-after Leicestershire village location. The Place, George Wimpey East Midlands’ newest development, is an exclusive collection of just 24 homes in Groby on the north-west fringes of Leicester – and with sales now underway, customers will have to be quick to secure their perfect property.

Close to beautiful rolling countryside, The Place enjoys a tranquil position in Groby village conservation area off Newton Linford Lane, yet benefits from a wide selection of local facilities and is less than five miles from the cosmopolitan city centre.

Each property has been individually designed to reflect the traditional surroundings, with cottage-style apartments and four-bedroom homes, and picturesque three-bedroom mews houses.

‘Hallaton Cottage’, for example, is a charming four-bedroom property characterised by a large kitchen/breakfast and family/dining room with French doors to the rear garden, a spacious separate living room also with doors to the garden, a guest cloakroom and entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to four bedrooms – one enjoying en-suite facilities – a study and the family bathroom.

This luxury design is currently available from £233,995, with two-bedroom cottage apartments from £124,995 and three-bedroom mews homes from £219,995.

Each attractive property at The Place enjoys a high standard specification, including gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

The new development builds on the success of George Wimpey’s collection of homes at The Oval, which has been hugely popular with home-buyers since it opened in Groby just over a year ago.

The well-served village is home to two small supermarkets, a butcher’s, a hardware store, a newsagent, a Post Office, a pharmacy, a delicatessen and a bank. Other amenities include a library, a community centre, a village hall, two take-away food outlets, a public house and two hairdressers.

George Wimpey’s ‘easymover secure’ scheme offers 5% deposit, legal fees and stamp duty paid for first time buyers, while customers with a house to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder finds a buyer for their current property and guarantees 100% of the market value and pays the estate agents' fees. And, if you don’t sell your house within 28 days then George Wimpey (with partner Move With Us) will buy it from you.

Customers can also take advantage of the leading housebuilder’s House 2 Home bespoke moving package comprising free UK removal regardless of distance or size of property, full packing and unpacking service and insurance cover.

Further information is available by visiting the Sales Centre, located off Newtown Linford Lane, Groby, and open seven days a week from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
