The Mulberries bucks market trend in Essex

Despite the uncertain economic times, sales are still going strong at The Mulberries in Little Canfield, near Bishop’s Stortford, a stunning new development of detached, family homes by Barratt Eastern Counties.

So much so that the housebuilder has had to speed up the building process in order to meet demand for the luxury four and five-bedroom homes. As a result, eight new four and five-bedroom properties have recently been launched for sale.

Sited within the attractive village style development of Priors Green, just a few miles from Bishop’s Stortford and Stansted Airport, these new homes offer families the great combination of rural surroundings, excellent nearby amenities and easy transport links.

Rebecca Littler, sales and marketing director of Barratt Eastern Counties, comments: “Many families are attracted to developments with a village atmosphere, but find it equally important to be close to a wide range of amenities and excellent transport links. This is exactly why The Mulberries is proving to be so popular. With a high specification and plenty of space, these houses represent excellent value within easy reach of London and close to Stansted airport.”

Prices start at just £349,995 for a detached, four-bedroom house. Barratt is offering a wide range of incentives to help buyers in all situations, including payment of Stamp Duty or five per cent towards a deposit.

For those with an existing home to sell, potential purchasers can also take advantage of Barratt’s excellent Part Exchange service. Barratt can buy your property through our popular part exchange scheme leaving you free to buy ones of its news homes. This takes away the worry of being in a chain and you can even stay in your old property until the new one is ready. With no estate agent fees to pay, or HIP pack to prepare, you save money too.

Priors Green is an ideal family development with tree-lined roads, plenty of green spaces and two village ponds. A new neighbourhood centre, with shops and a community centre and a primary school are also planned. A network of footpaths and cycleways wind through the development, allowing residents to enjoy the country surroundings to the full.

The houses at The Mulberries are traditionally designed in warm red and buff brick and have very spacious, modern interiors in a wide choice of styles and layouts. The four and five-bedroom houses now available are very spacious featuring separate kitchens and living areas, as well as generously-proportioned bedrooms. All master bedrooms have the luxury of an en suite bathroom. Many of the houses include a garage and all the homes have their own garden.

Bishop’s Stortford, just a few miles away, offers superb shopping, entertainment and leisure facilities. Nearby Great Dunmow provides further amenities, including an excellent leisure centre.

For commuters, a 45-minute train service from Stansted Airport to Liverpool Street runs every 15 minutes. Road travel is equally easy with the M11, less than four miles away, providing a direct link to the M25. The development also benefits from great access to the A120 which links Bishop’s Stortford, Great Dunmow and Braintree.
