Dream homes from just £122,995 in Derby

With confidence returning to the property market, George Wimpey East Midlands has sold its current selection of homes ahead of schedule at The Park, its popular development near Derby.

But other house-hunters haven’t missed out. Customers can now secure their three or four-bedroom home at today’s more affordable prices – even if they don’t plan to move in for a few months to come.

The off-plan purchase deals enable would-be movers to snap up a brand new three-bedroom home from as little as £122,995, or a four-bedroom, three-storey townhouse from only £144,995 – exceptional value for a spacious, family-size home.

Kelly French, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Buying a new home before it has been built offers a host of advantages for the purchaser, including having the pick of the plots and a guaranteed price, even if other properties of the same design increase in value.

“Both the Nationwide and Halifax price indices reported a rise of 1.3% and 1.1% in July, and there are growing signs that confidence is returning to the property market, making now a good time to secure a home for a good price.”

Houses bought before they have been built also offer the perfect opportunity for buyers to add finishing touches which make a house a home.

Taylor Wimpey’s interior styling ranges provide a choice of flooring and carpets, kitchen units and appliances and because many options are built in as each property is constructed, the earlier a property is reserved, the more choices there are.

The four-bedroom, three-storey ‘Mallow’ design, for example, is the perfect contemporary accommodation for families, and for those looking for a beautifully laid-out home from which they can work.

The ground floor accommodation is characterised by a large combined kitchen/dining/family room that’s perfect for relaxed mealtimes or entertaining and has French doors to the rear garden, while there is a handy guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway and an integral garage.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a spacious lounge with attractive Juliet balcony, a bedroom/study and a family bathroom, while a master bedroom with en-suite shower room and two further bedrooms can be found on the top floor.

Customers can also choose the stylish three-bedroom ‘Heather’ from £122,995 and the three-storey, three-bedroom ‘Scarlet’ from £139,995, which boasts a magnificent en-suite master bedroom with dressing area occupying the entire top floor.

In addition to the choice of styling options, each new home is finished to a high standard specification to include central heating, double glazing and a built-in oven, hob and hood included in the price.

The Park enjoys a village location close to Derby city and within easy reach of miles of rolling countryside.

Leabrooks’ well-served village centre offers a selection of local shops and services including schools and a medical centre.

A small supermarket, a Post Office, a public house, fast-food outlets, a newsagent, a sports and social club, a hairdresser, a florist and a butcher are all just a few minutes’ walk from the development.

For a wider variety of shopping and leisure amenities, Derby and Nottingham are each less than 20 miles away, and regular bus services run from the village.

Commuters will appreciate The Park is just a short drive from the A38 and on to the M1 north and south.

The Park Sales Centre is located off James Street, Leabrooks and is open Thursday to Monday from 10.30am to 5.30pm. Customers can find out more about the properties available from Sales Executive at the development, or online at georgewimpey.co.uk.
