Fabulous family homes on sale in Shropshire

House-hunters seeking a new family-sized home need look no further than The Crescent at Oakham Manor, George Wimpey’s sought-after development in Lightmoor Village, Shropshire.

Laid out around a beautiful half moon-shaped village green, the brand new four and five-bedroom homes that have just gone on sale offer a wealth of space for modern living plus a range of eco-features to reduce household bills and help the environment.

With work having just started on the new primary school serving Lightmoor Village, which is due to open in September 2010, and with the attractive Woodlands Park and Holywell Meadow recreation areas nearing completion, a home at Oakham Manor is a superb choice for families taking advantage of the current property market values to make their move.

Just one of the homes available to reserve at The Crescent is the magnificent five-bedroom ‘Maltings’ design, priced from just £299,995.

The spacious kitchen at the heart of the home features a handy separate laundry area, while the dining room is a place where long weekend lunches can overflow through the French doors into the garden. A family/TV room means that the lounge can be a ‘grown-up’ space, while the ground floor is completed by a cloakroom off the entrance hallway, and a double garage outside.

Upstairs, the landing leads to four ample bedrooms, two of which have access to an en-suite shower room. A family bathroom is also on this level.

The master suite sits proudly upon the top floor, with separate dressing room featuring built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. A study next door offers a sanctuary away from activities at the hub of this home, while outside there is a double garage.

Alternative home designs located at The Crescent include the four-bedroom, three-bathroom ‘Orchard’ priced from £264,995 and the four-bedroom, two-bathroom ‘Paddock’ from £229,995.

Like all new homes at Oakham Manor, properties at The Crescent are fitted with eco-features as standard including high levels of loft insulation, water-saving devices and A-rated appliances, plus a fitted kitchen complete with built-in oven, hob and hood.
The new 210-place primary school will have seven classes, a social play area and a multi-use games area for a range of sports and outdoor activities.

There will also be facilities within the school building to benefit the wider community at Lightmoor, including meeting rooms, a hall, indoor sports and recreation areas and changing rooms.

As at Bournville, long-term stewardship of the whole development will be secured by the Village Trust.

Lightmoor Village nestles in beautiful landscape between Telford and Coalbrook Dale and benefits from over 50 acres of open landscaped areas for leisure, sport and recreational use.

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 just a short drive away, while Telford’s railway station provides links to Wolverhampton and Birmingham.
