New homes offer comfort and convenience in Doe Lea

The comfort and convenience of a brand new home has drawn Claire and Chris Millington to The Brambles, in Doe Lea, Chesterfield.

Having spent the last five years ‘fixing up’ a town centre terrace, the couple are now enjoying a relatively easy time in their new three-bedroom detached home, which is on the edge of some beautiful countryside - yet still within easy reach of the centre of Chesterfield.

Local government officer Claire, 26, said: “Our previous home was a terraced house right in the town centre, but we decided it was time to move into something a bit bigger with space to start a family in the future. As soon as we saw the properties at The Brambles we knew we’d found what we wanted.

“We’ve both got busy jobs and, having spent five years doing up our old house, we wanted somewhere that we could just move in and start enjoying straight away. This is perfect.”

Claire and Chris, 32, who works as a service engineer, were also delighted with the location of this popular Gleeson Homes’ venture.

“It’s a much more rural setting than we’ve been used to and surrounded by some beautiful scenery but it’s also very convenient,” said Claire. “Chris is on the road a lot of the time and can be straight on to the M1 at junction 29 and I can get to my office in the centre of Chesterfield in less than 10 minutes. Also we’re still close to all our family and friends, who mostly live in the Chesterfield area.

“Gleeson have looked after us very well through the whole moving process, making everything run as smoothly as possible.”

For those wanting to follow the Millington’s example and discover the advantages of a brand new home, Gleeson currently has three and four-bedroom homes available at The Brambles, with prices from just £148,995 to £179,995.

On selected properties there’s the chance to put off paying 25% of the asking price for up to 10 years, which means that a three-bedroom ‘Roma’ style property, with open plan kitchen / diner, spacious living room and en-suite to master bedroom can be purchased for an initial outlay of just £112,000. And there’s no interest or rent to pay on the outstanding balance.

For those with an existing property to sell, some of Gleeson’s larger homes are available with part-exchange, helping to ensure a quick and easy move with no risk of being stuck in a housing chain.
