Off-plan opportunities in Walsall

Leading developer, Banner Homes is to create an up-market new collection of just 5, stylish five bedroom detached houses in the sought-after location of Walsall. As of now, properties at the site, Merrywood Place located on Park Road, have been released for sale off-plan, allowing house hunters the chance to secure the home of their dreams before anyone else.

Although buying off-plan may seem daunting, many choose to use this method for a number of well-documented reasons. Firstly, you get to choose exactly the plot you prefer before it’s too late and you have to opt for a second or third choice. Secondly, prices at virtually all developments tend to go up once the show home is up and running, even in this current market. Finally, you may get the chance to have an input into the final finish of your property including wall and floor tiling, making it ‘homely’ from the start.

Sue Hull, Sales Director of Banner Homes Midlands comments: “We are extremely excited to be bringing this small collection of homes to Walsall. The homes have been carefully designed to ensure that they blend seamlessly into their attractive location and provide the perfect balance between contemporary and traditional. Additionally, the accommodation is versatile, well planned and offers ample room in which each member of the household can live their lives, suiting growing families and those in need of space for visiting family and friends.

“The release of the properties off-plan presents an exceptional opportunity for house hunters to take full advantage of the development’s exclusive nature and convenient location. For those who may be a bit nervous at the prospect of purchasing off-plan, our sales advisors will be able to take you through the process step-by-step, ensuring all your questions are answered.”

The detached homes are perfectly suited for families of all shapes and sizes. Open plan kitchen/breakfast rooms feature French doors that open out onto the garden, creating a flow from inside to outside. For entertaining visitors, the ground floor also includes a separate sitting room and dining room. Finally, a cloakroom and ample storage space is also available.

The bedrooms are then split over two floors. The upstairs areas include five bedrooms including a large master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, plus sizable en-suite bathroom. Additionally, this bedroom leads out onto its own private balcony. One further bedroom also contains an en-suite and family bathrooms are located on both the first and second floor. Banner Homes has cleverly incorporated rooms into roof space in these homes, which will be ideal for those who need extra space for extended family members or guests – or space in which to work from home. The homes also feature a garage.

There is no shortage of leisure opportunities in the local area including a range of golf clubs, located close by. The area also offers a good selection of shops, country pubs and plenty of woodlands, perfect for a stroll, bike or even horse ride. This includes Walsall Arboretum, a beautiful Victorian park featuring 79 acres of woodland.

Education needs in the area are well served with an excellent selection of primary and secondary schools including Queen Mary’s Grammar School, Queen Mary’s High School and Hydesville Towers School.

Banner Homes’ Premier Part Exchange scheme is also available at Merrywood Place. The scheme allows buyers to move easily into a new Banner home without the delays and uncertainties that can be experienced when selling an existing property. The scheme also allows purchasers to secure the home they wish to purchase in advance of the build completion date, without having to worry about tying together legal completion dates that are several months in the future. Under the scheme, completion dates for the two properties will be identical and there is no need to consider concerns over temporary accommodation or bridging facilities.

Prices at Merrywood Place range from £590,000 to £630,000. For further information, log on to Bannerhomes.co.uk.
