Buyers loving the high life at Lyme Valley

Flexible living accommodation remains a high priority for buyers, as residents at Persimmon’s new Lyme Valley development in Newcastle under Lyme can testify. Whether it’s for living, relaxing, entertaining or working, three storey properties are renowned for their ability in offering plenty of room to suit every demanding lifestyle and it’s these homes that are causing such a stir at one of Newcastle under Lyme’s newest communities.

One such buyer is Peter Booth who has recently moved into a three storey Leicester home at Lyme Valley. He said: “I work in the construction industry myself so I know quality when I see it, and that’s exactly what bowled me over about this three storey property.”

Living with his 11 year old son, Peter needed a home with plenty of living accommodation and that’s exactly what he has in the Leicester. He continues: “Friends and family are always dropping in to admire our stylish new property and it’s great that we now have enough space for them to stay overnight without it being a tight squeeze. I wish I’d made the move into a three storey home much sooner.”

Kerry Dundas has also bought a three storey property at Lyme Valley. Keen to stay in the area after living in nearby Penkhull , Kerry, a solicitor who works at Grindeys in Stone, Staffordshire, had viewed a number of properties, however all fell short of the renowned ‘wow’ factor that’s synonymous with a new home – until she visited Lyme Valley and fell in love with the three bedroom Mayfair which, conveniently for DIY-adverse Kerry, also turned out to be the professionally designed showhome!

Loving her new life at Lyme Valley, Kerry, who lives with her two young daughters, echoes Peters comments. She said: “The real deal clincher was the layout of the accommodation. The Mayfair is a great family home with a traditional feel – it has fantastic living accommodation downstairs and the bedrooms on the first and second floor are all such generous sizes. As the ex-showhome, the fact that the property also came with such a host of extras such as an upgraded kitchen, floor coverings throughout, light fittings, fitted wardrobes and soft furnishings also meant I could move straight in and not have to worry about decorating.”

Kerry was able to make the move to Lyme Valley quicker than even she imagined, having taken advantage of Persimmon’s Part Exchange scheme. She continues: “Trying to find a buyer for my old property whilst searching for our next family home certainly proved challenging which is why I was so relieved when Persimmon suggested its Part Exchange incentive. I’m sure I wouldn’t have got this kind of treatment from an agent if I’d have bought second hand.”

Verna Austin, sales director at Persimmon Homes Mercia, comments: “We have found that spreading a property over three floors is a more practical layout for many families allowing youngsters and parents, such as Kerry, to break away from the rest of the house.

“As these buyers prove, three storey homes boast just too many benefits to ignore.”
