Live, work and play with Charles Church

With the UK now facing particular challenging times, many budding entrepreneurs could be forgiven for being more than cautious when considering starting their own business.

But for those still wanting to launch their own company, the heightened benefits associated with franchising means that it is achievable in 2009, and with prestigious live/work homes available from Charles Church in Thaxted, Essex, there really is no better time to become your own boss.

Neil Sykes, sales director for Charles Church, explains the initiative: “It has been reported that only 20 per cent of businesses starting now will still be trading in five years time, meanwhile if you start up as a franchise, an average of 80 per cent of businesses will survive in the same period.

“To make launching your own firm even more attractive this year, our select development, each house at Bellrope Gardens in Thaxted features a business unit, either next to or over the double garage which is ideal for those wanting to work from home, while being surrounded by the luxury of their Charles Church property.”

Several business owners have already been sold on the benefits of working from home, which is why we’ve now sold a large proportion of the properties available. The development comprises of an exquisite selection of four and five bedroom homes, with many benefiting from modern solar panels to conserve energy. Prices start from just £349,950 for a four bedroom design.

Neil concludes: “The ability to live, work and play at our distinct properties at Bellrope Gardens offers homeowners so many advantages, such as being able to see more of the children and not having to face the morning commute. We are welcoming new residents on a regular basis and I expect due to the popularity of the homes and work spaces, the remaining units won’t be available for much longer.”

Bellrope Gardens is located in the pretty village of Thaxted. Surrounded by rolling countryside, the development is well situated for a range of local amenities and facilities. For those who need to travel further afield, Saffron Walden, Bishops Stortford, Cambridge and Chelmsford are all within easy reach.
