Get a head start on the Maidstone

Lincolnshire first time buyers looking for an ideal starter could find exactly what they are looking for in the Maidstone house type at Barratt North Midlands’ Manor Farm development in North Hykeham.

The Maidstone is a spacious and well-presented three- bedroom townhouse and is one of the most popular designs within Barratt’s portfolio thanks to its modern and thoughtfully planned layout. Priced at just £135,995, this style offers excellent value for money and an ideal opportunity for budding homeowners to make the move into home ownership.

The ground floor of this design boasts a spacious lounge, an open plan kitchen and dining room with French doors that lead onto the rear garden, a cloakroom as well as useful storage space under the stairs. The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, the master of which benefits from en-suite facilities, plus the family bathroom.

James Poynor, Sales Director at Barratt North Midlands comments “The Maidstone is a great style which is ideal for professionals, couples or smaller families.

“Priced at just £135,995, it makes an ideal first home so for those looking to buy an affordable property within a popular development need look no further.

“But if this price is just out of budget, buyers can take advantage of our Head Start scheme which allows you to buy a property for initially just 85 per cent of the asking price. On Head Start, home ownership could become a reality for just £115, 595.

“The aim of Head Start is to make the buying process more affordable and as a division, we’re finding increasing numbers of first time buyers are taking advantage of deals like these to help subsidise buying their first home.”

Head Start is not a shared ownership scheme; homebuyers own 100 per cent of the property from day one. There is no rent or interest to pay on the deferred amount, it is simply paid back as 25 per cent of the property’s open market value at any time up to the point of resale or within ten years, whichever is sooner.

Situated on Tiber Road, Manor Farm is a charming collection of one- and two- bedroom apartments and three- and four- bedroom family homes. Residents can enjoy a semi-rural retreat within easy reaching distance of a number of more urban retreats including Lincoln, Nottingham and Worksop.

The development benefits from a wide range of local amenities including shops, schools and public houses.

Three- and four- bedroom homes in the styles of a Maidstone and a Thornton are currently available with prices starting from £135,995.
