It's showtime for house-hunters at Oakham Manor

George Wimpey North Midlands is opening the doors to a beautiful new showhome at Oakham Manor, its sought-after sustainable development at Lightmoor Village in Shropshire.

The spacious four-bedroom detached ‘Barley' has been professionally decorated and furnished by the leading housebuilder's interior design team using black and gold - the look for summer 2008.

A beautifully laid-out family home, the ‘Barley' features an exceptional lounge enjoying views to three sides of the property and French doors to the private rear garden, a large kitchen/breakfast room with bay window and separate utility room, a dining room an entrance hallway and guest cloakroom.

Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while three further double bedrooms, one with en-suite, and a family bathroom complete the accommodation.

Like all new homes at the development, the ‘Barley' enjoys a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Oakham Manor will comprise a choice of apartments and family homes, perfect for people of all ages. Customers can currently choose from the two-bedroom ‘Cygnet' apartment priced £149,995, and three-bedroom designs from £179,995. Each property has at least one parking space, with family-sized homes having two spaces or a garage.

Well-connected and yet surrounded by open countryside, Lightmoor Village nestles in the beautiful landscape between Telford and Coalbrook Dale and benefits from over 50 acres of open landscaped areas for leisure, sport and recreational use.

The development site is owned by English Partnerships and is to offer sustainable living in the spirit of Birmingham's Bournville Village - built around a green with shops, a family pub/restaurant, a primary school and a lifelong learning centre. As at Bournville, long-term stewardship of the development will be secured by the Village Trust.

Lightmoor Village will also be well-served by existing and new public transport links, with a bus service to Telford town centre where a wider range of shops and schools for children of all ages can be found.

Commuters will appreciate that the M54 and M6 are just a short drive away, while Telford's railway station provides links to Wolverhampton and Birmingham.

George Wimpey offers a range of deals tailor-made for all types of buyers, and for those with a property to sell, the leading housebuilder's ‘easymover' programme offers a range of attractive incentives on selected properties.

The Sales Centre, located at Lightmoor Village, Horsehay, is open seven days a week from 11am to 5pm.
