Brand new homes go down a storm in Colchester

Properties at George Wimpey's developments in Colchester are being snapped up fast as buyers realise the potential savings of owning a brand home. 35 have been purchased in just 10 weeks despite a national trend of slower sales, as people hurry to take advantage of a great range of money-saving deals from the leading housebuilder.

Tina Dedman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director, says: "At a time when people are feeling the pinch of the property market, we are able to offer them a wide range of helpful incentives to suit their individual circumstances.

"This ranges from helping first-time buyers with their deposit and legal fees, to providing assistance for home-owners to find a buyer for their current property. We encourage people who are looking to move to come along and see what we can do for them!"

Homes available at Prospects, on the north-west edge of Colchester, include four-bedroom, three-storey townhouse from just £224,995, while customers at Solus, south-west of the town, can choose three-bedroom properties from £199,995 and four-bedroom designs from £242,995.

The three/four-bedroom ‘Jemison Special' at Solus, for example, features two large living rooms, a reception room/bedroom, a contemporary kitchen with dining area, a utility room, and en-suite to the master bedroom.

Like all new homes at George Wimpey's developments in Colchester, the design enjoys a high standard specification, including central heating, double glazing and a fully fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Solus and Prospects offer buyers the best of both worlds - within easy reach of the town centre, yet close to the open countryside which provides ample opportunity for walking, cycling and enjoying the fresh air and scenery.

Colchester is a vibrant university town with an abundance of pubs, restaurants, sports facilities and nightclubs, in addition to boasting several high-achieving schools for children of all ages and a nationally acclaimed sixth-form college.

The coast at West Mersea is within a 20-minute drive, while commuters will appreciate good rail and road links to Chelmsford, Brentwood and London, and to Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands. For those travelling further afield, Stansted airport is a 45-minute drive from the development.

Further information on Prospects is available by visiting the Sales Centre, located off Tufnell Way, Bergholt Road, Colchester.

Solus is off Berechurch Hall Road, Colchester. Opening hours at both developments are 10am to 6pm seven days a week.
