Early sales get the ball rolling at The Fairways

A great location, a wide range of house types and affordable prices has proven to be a winning formula at George Wimpey North Yorkshire's Billingham development, The Fairways.

Since opening the information centre, and subsequently the sales office on Greenwood Road, there has been huge interest in this site leading to a number of early sales, proving that the right houses in the right area at the right prices can still buck the trend.

House types currently causing a stir at The Fairways include the Cleveland three bedroom terrace, Brentwood and Arlington four bedroom townhouses and the four bedroom detached Denver.

Regional sales manager for The Fairways, Beverley Russell, said: "We have enjoyed a really promising start to sales at The Fairways.

"A lot of consideration was given to selecting the location and the house types we would be offering and this is now beginning to pay off. We have some beautiful homes here and the local area provides a wonderful mix of amenities."

The four bedroom detached Denver home has a large lounge, separate dining room, kitchen with breakfast area and cloakroom on the ground floor. The first floor has four bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a family bathroom. Prices start from £195,000.

The Cleveland, Brentwood and Arlington homes see life spread over three stories. The Cleveland and Brentwood homes have a large lounge, cloakroom and kitchen with breakfast area on the ground floor, while two bedrooms and the family bathroom can be found on the first floor. The master bedroom with en-suite facilities can be found on the second floor of the Cleveland, while two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite, can be found on the second floor of the Brentwood.

The Arlington has a slightly different design, with kitchen, dining area and cloakroom on the ground floor and lounge, family bathroom and first bedroom on the first floor. The second floor has three further bedrooms, one of which has en-suite facilities.

Each home also has a garage or parking space and private garden. Prices start at £159,950 for the Cleveland, £169,950 for the Brentwood and £174,950 for the Arlington.

Situated in the town of Billingham, to the north east of Middlesbrough, The Fairways has access to local shops, including a Tesco and Asda, public houses and restaurants as well as leisure and entertainment facilities, including Billingham Beck Valley Country Park, Billingham Art Gallery and Billingham Forum, a leisure centre which has an ice rink, swimming pool and theatre.

The town is served by the A19, A689 and A66 roads, giving easy access to Middlesbrough and Darlington to the south and Hartlepool to the north. Billingham railway station, which is just a short walk away from the development, offers services to Middlesbrough, Newcastle and Sunderland, which is great news for commuters, shoppers and those looking for a fun day out or a lively night in a big city.
