Looking for a new home in Witham? Better visit soon!

The warm weather is attracting a stream of visitors to The Hawthorns, Barratt’s attractive new development close to the market town of Witham in Essex. With many of the properties already sold off-plan, Barratt is advising house hunters to visit quickly if they want the best choice of homes!

Adam Lawrence, Barratt Regional Chairman, comments: “The Hawthorns is especially suited to both families and first time buyers who want to be close to Chelmsford and Colchester and yet in country surroundings. Our existing developments in Witham have proved enormously popular and there is every sign that homes at The Hawthorns will be equally sought after.”

The 90 houses and apartments at The Hawthorns are set in landscaped grounds in a lovely position with ‘plenty of room to breathe’, opposite open fields and in the midst of the beautiful Essex countryside. Yet the development is very accessible; it is just a 15-minute drive to Chelmsford via the nearby A12 and junction 28 the M25 is just 24 miles away, providing an easy journey into London. Train travel is just as convenient; Witham station, a mile and a half away, offers very frequent 45-minute services into London Liverpool Street.

For families the excellent local schools are a big attraction; some nursery, primary and junior schools are even within walking distance of The Hawthorns. And for weekend walks there are lovely strolls along the riverside and twenty-five acres of meadowland at the nearby Whetmead nature reserve. There is even an excellent country pub a short stroll from the development!

Currently on sale at The Hawthorns is a mix of 2-bedroom apartments and very spacious three and four-bedroom houses with good-sized gardens. The specification is very high with generous double bedrooms, smart fully fitted kitchens and luxurious bathrooms. Each home has at least one allocated parking space, and some houses have their own carport or garage.

Witham has a very good selection of shops with well-known high street stores as well as independent retailers. Or for serious shopping expeditions, the extensive Lakeside and Bluewater shopping centres, each with over 300 shops, are less than an hour’s drive away.
