Create your perfect home at Canalside Wharf

House-hunters with an eye for style can turn interior designer thanks to the superb Options home-styling range available for apartments and houses reserved ‘off-plan’ at George Wimpey’s Canalside Wharf development in Weston, Staffordshire.

With its stock of homes already all sold out for 2009, the leading house-builder is offering excellent deals on homes that will be ready in 2010 – plus the chance to choose everything from carpets and flooring to kitchen finishes and lighting.

Daniel McGowan, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey North Midlands, says: “Buying off-plan is one of the most exciting and rewarding ways to get the home of your dreams.

“Customers looking to create the perfect new home can not only take their pick of the plots available, but also select fixtures, fittings and finishes to suit their own individual lifestyle.

“Being able to apply the personal touches which make a house a home – like a choice of flooring and carpets, kitchen units and appliances, showers and bathroom suites – allows house-hunters to personalise their new home, and add to its future value.

“And buying off-plan now at Canalside Wharf, our customers will secure their home for a fixed price, even if properties of the same design rise in value before moving day arrives.”

According to Nationwide, house prices rose 1.3% in July – the fourth time in six months – yet quick-off-the-mark movers can still take advantage of property prices that are an average 6.2% lower than this time last year*.

Among the homes available to purchase off-plan at Canalside Wharf is the superb one-bedroom ‘Clifton Special’ apartment and the two-bedroom ‘Huddson’ design. Each featuring spacious open-plan kitchen/living/dining areas within an attractive two-storey apartment building, they are priced from £134,000.

The two-bedroom ‘Chillcott’ coach house, meanwhile, has a magnificent master bedroom with en-suite, in addition to a main bathroom and is priced from £174,995, while the three-bedroom semi-detached ‘Fradley’ house starts at £229,500.

Canalside Wharf enjoys a peaceful waterside location on the southern edge of Weston village, close to the countryside and just five miles from historic Stafford.

Weston provides range of everyday local amenities, including a new village hall, a doctor’s surgery, a children’s playground, a public house and a Post Office. Weston Hall is within easy reach of the development, and home to a superb restaurant and live entertainment evenings.

Schools for children of all ages, leisure pursuits and amenities including a theatre, library, cinema and a selection of bars, cafes and restaurants can be found in Stafford. A new leisure centre with a swimming pool, fitness suite, squash courts and crèche facilities is also available.

In addition to its great location for leisure, Canalside Wharf is well-placed for commuters. The M6 is just a 15-minute drive from the development, while Stafford Railway Station provides regular services to London, Birmingham and Liverpool.

Information on all homes at Canalside Wharf are available by visiting the Sales Centre in Saltworks Lane, Weston, and open Thursday to Monday, 11am to 5pm and online at Georgewimpey.co.uk.
