The height of flexible living in Stone

Whilst three storey homes date back to Victorian times, one West Midlands housebuilder is offering a truly modern interpretation in Stone with the unveiling of its latest property of the month.

The Tolkien, a three bedroom townhouse, is just one of the three storey properties available at Miller Homes’ Willows development in Stone. Ideal for new families or young couples, three storey homes are popular with those looking for a new property with flexibility.

Linda Androlia, regional sales director for Miller Homes, said: “The townhouse layout provides the perfect setting for modern day living and really offers buyers the chance to be creative with the space available. The first floor, for example, offers couples ample space to create a guest bedroom and study, or for new families, the room would make an ideal nursery or playroom.”

Plot 49 features a welcoming entrance hall and front lounge, two generous first floor bedrooms and a top floor playing host to the luxurious master bedroom and en-suite. The internal layout is complemented by a kitchen diner on the ground floor, opening out onto an east facing garden that enjoys plenty of morning sun.

Linda continued: “To make three storey living even more affordable for househunters, we are also offering the latest government backed shared equity scheme on all of the townhouses available at the Willows.”

The HomeBuy Direct initiative allows buyers to purchase 100 percent of a new home by paying from just 70 percent of its value, with the remaining 30 percent being co funded by Miller Homes and the Government.

One of the big bonuses of the scheme is that the 30 percent equity loan only becomes payable after 25 years, with no interest for the first five.

Linda added: “As the scheme is government backed, househunters can have complete peace of mind in knowing that their investment is secure.

“Along with the wide range of three storey properties available, there really has never been a better time to buy a new home in Stone.”

Situated within a few minutes’ walk of the town centre, where there is an excellent range of shops, supermarkets and fashion retailers, The Willows provides the kind of convenience associated with town centre living but with all the advantages of its semi rural location.

The development also benefits from being just a short stroll from Stone train station, which has recently been reopened after a £500,000 refurbishment. The station is now serviced by up to 25 trains per pay, offering busy commuters direct access to Stoke, Stafford and Birmingham.

Plot 49 at the Willows is available for £184,950, or with HomeBuy Direct, from just £129,465. For more information, visit millerhomes.co.uk.
