Baddow grange a hit with surfers

Persimmon Homes has named its Baddow Grange development in Great Baddow one of its most popular developments with visitors to the Persimmon Homes website.

In 2006, Baddow Grange received almost eight times more hits than any other development in the Essex region – and the leading house builder is predicting that this number will only rise with the announcement that it has launched the second phase at the development.

Neil Sykes, sales director for Persimmon Homes Essex, comments: “We first became aware of the phenomenal amount of interest in Baddow Grange in the summer of 2006 – traditionally a slow season – when we experienced record levels of sales. This is mirrored in the number of hits on the website.

“House hunters are increasingly turning to the internet to narrow their search before actually visiting potential homes. Our statistics suggests Chelmsford residents are one step ahead of the rest of the country in using this modern method of house hunting which will no doubt become standard procedure in the not-too-distant future.”

Phase two at Baddow Grange will comprise of nine one and two bedroom apartments in the Chafford design. Unusually, all apartments benefit from a garage, while all two bedroom properties include an en-suite to the master bedroom. Purchasers can choose from an open plan kitchen/living area or separate rooms depending on their preference to tailor their home to best suit their lifestyle. Prices for a one bedroom apartment start from £164,950 and from £197,950 for a two bedroom property, and to celebrate the launch, Persimmon is offering five per cent deposit paid for a limited period only.

Three, three bedroom houses have also been released for sale; two in the Danbury design and the other the final Blacksmith house type to be sold at this development. Prices start from £274,950.

Baddow Grange is an exciting new development comprising 86 properties offering a selection of one and two bedroom apartments and three, four and five bedroom homes. With the A12 within close proximity, commuters are ideally situated for the M25 while Chelmsford station offers regular express services into London. Meanwhile, the park and ride to Chelmsford a matter of 400 metres down the road.
