New apartments signal renaissance for Wickford

Leading developer George Wimpey is back in Wickford to bring a range of brand new apartments to the heart of town. The 36 well-appointed one and two-bedroom homes, which received the go-ahead from local planners as part of the Wickford Masterplan regeneration, will blend refreshing cream-rendered architecture and attractive landscaping to breathe new life into the area.

Regional Sales and Marketing Director for George Wimpey East London, Tina Dedman, says: “With summer on the way we’re keen to get going on this superb collection of new homes. Buyers have an excellent opportunity to reserve their one or two-bedroom apartment today and take advantage of having the pick of the plots.”

The stylish one-bedroom ‘Focus’ apartment is a superb choice for couples and individuals, featuring a light and airy living room with attractive Juliet balcony and an open-plan kitchen, maximising the proportions of the living accommodation and providing a unique personal space in which to relax and unwind.

While every apartment at Integra boasts a full-sized, modern bathroom, the two-bedroom ‘Finesse’ has the added benefit of an en-suite to the main bedroom, making this an excellent choice for young families, or friends sharing a first home.

Each home is finished to a high standard specification including central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen complete with oven hob and hood. Allocated parking for each apartment lies within the secure grounds and the four-storey apartment building is served by an elevator in addition to stairways.

Prices for the ‘Focus’ start at only £99,995, while the ‘Finesse’ is available from just £129,995.

George Wimpey offers a range of incentives to help first-time buyers – or parents supporting children buying a first home – including paying 5% towards their deposit or matching the sum the customer has saved*.

Customers with a property to sell can also take advantage of tailor-made incentives to help them make a quick and easy move, and investors can benefit from special deals to help them build up their portfolio in Wickford.

Those reserving a home at Integra now can personalise their interiors, choosing their kitchen, flooring, tiling and lighting from George Wimpey’s stylish ‘Options’ range. The builder will then fit everything ready for moving in day.

Enjoying a great location, Integra lies within a short stroll of the Willows Centre and its big name stores, individual boutiques, delis and great places to eat. Closer still, brand new retail units will form an attractive, street-level ‘boulevard’ of appropriate shops and outlets as part of the new apartment buildings.

For families, a choice of schools and nurseries, a doctor’s surgery and dental practices are within walking distance of the development, in addition to supermarkets and convenience stores catering for everyday needs.

There’s also a gym just around the corner, and for those who want to cut back on their car-use, the development is served by several bus routes which for those reserving a home will receive vouchers for free bus transport within the local travel zone.

Wickford Station is only 700 yards from the development, opening up the opportunity to spend sunny days at Southend-on-Sea or shopping in London within 40 minutes. Drivers will find the A127, A130 and M25 within easy reach, Basildon just 10 minutes by road and Stansted Airport only an hour away.
