End of an era for Barratt in Thorpe Astley

It’s the end of an era for Barratt North Midlands in Thorpe Astley after selling all but six of the new homes at its substantial The Elms development on Murby Way.

The Elms was launched some 15 years ago and was set to become one of Leicestershire’s most significant new homes developments aiming to create a brand new community in a convenient location on the outskirts of the city.

Over the years, it has grown to become one of the division’s most established residential developments offering a wide range of home styles that has proven popular with those aspiring to live in a new build with good transport links close to the M1 and M69.

James Poynor, Sales Director at Barratt North Midlands comments “The Elms is our longest running development that has provided housing solutions for everyone from first time buyers, couples, expanding families and downsizers alike.

“We’ve continued to enjoy regular sales success at the development and even now, during the most challenging housing conditions of recent years, the standard of homes and its superb location have ensured that the homes at The Elms continue to be in demand.”

Just six homes are currently available as the last phase of the development and are a mix of three- and four- bedroom homes from the extensive Barratt portfolio.

There is one four- bedroom detached home available in the style of a Radleigh. The ground floor of this impressive style boasts a large lounge, open plan kitchen and family room, separate dining room for more formal occasions as well as a study, cloakroom and utility. The first floor comprises four- bedrooms, the master with en-suite, plus the family bathroom.

There are five Norbury style homes on offer to purchasers, which is a modern three storey, three- bedroom townhouse. The ground floor of this flexible style comprises a good size kitchen with fully fitted units, an open plan living and dining room with French doors that lead onto the garden, a cloakroom plus useful storage space under the stairs. The first floor comprises two double bedrooms and the family bathroom whilst the third floor completes this superb style with the master bedroom which has an en-suite and dressing area.

James adds “Both the Radleigh and Norbury are great styles suited to families and those looking to take their next steps up the property ladder. The Radleigh is ideal for those seeking a more traditional family home whilst those after a more contemporary design should look to the Norbury.

“Buyers at the development can also take advantage of one of the great deals Barratt is currently offering including shared equity, five per cent deposit paid or part exchange, which continues to prove a popular solution for those with an existing property to sell.

The Elms benefits from fantastic transport links with the M1 and M69 just minutes away and with the Meridian Leisure Park close by, all the amenities a family could hope for are right on the doorstep including a cinema, ten pin bowling alley and restaurants.

Prices for the remaining Norbury home styles start from £174,995 whilst the Radleigh at plot 73 is priced at £239,995.
