Enjoy a stylish new home

25th September 2007 Print
Elaine Adlington When Elaine Adlington’s 1960s bungalow started to become a costly and time consuming burden, she decided that now was the right time to move to a more manageable property, that didn’t require so much up-keep. Fortuna Park, the new development by Countryside Annington Ltd in Colchester, offered Elaine the perfect solution - an attractive new home, to cope with her busy lifestyle.

“My existing property was becoming far too much hassle; it was beginning to fall apart at the seams. I wanted a new home where I didn’t have to worry about the boiler giving up or the roof caving in - a home where I could devote more time to leisure activities and less to household chores,” Elaine explains.

Fortuna Park comprises 196 homes with one and two bedroom apartments and a wide selection of two, three and four bedroom houses. The properties boast a contemporary specification, with stylish features such as stainless steel kitchen appliances and sleek contemporary bathrooms. All of the properties offer modern living solutions with the benefit of countryside just a short drive away.

The second phase of Fortuna Park has recently been released and will be ready to move into early next year. When a home is reserved at Fortuna Park at this early stage, customers can specify the finer details, such as kitchens, worktops and wall tiles.

On average, UK adults spend over four hours a week doing DIY and seasonal garden-related activities. However, as life becomes busier, a new home which you can move into immediately, without the need for maintenance is becoming an increasingly welcome option. Buying a new home has a wide range of benefits, including both lower maintenance and running costs, to stylish new fixtures and fittings.

Elaine continues: “With a contemporary design, high specification and excellent build quality, it really is my dream home. It meets all of my needs; the space has been used efficiently and effectively. I grasped the opportunity the same day I was shown the property and reserved the spacious two-bedroom house before my own bungalow had even completed! Long live my DIY free Sundays, buying a home at Fortuna Park means I can now enjoy life to the full!”

Fortuna Park is served by excellent road and public transport links, the development has a great location for those looking for commuter convenience whilst being close to the countryside. From Colchester railway station, London Liverpool Street can be reached in under an hour.

Prices for the homes at Fortuna Park start from £168,950. For further information on the new homes available at Fortuna Park visit Fortunapark.co.uk.
