Barratt say ‘why rent in Ipswich when you can buy?’

Barratt has announced a superb deal for homebuyers at its striking Foxgrove Gardens development in Ipswich. The housebuilder will pay £650 per month towards the mortgage on its one and two bedroom apartments and £1000 per month on the three and four bedroom houses, for a period of 12 months; with deals like this, why would you want to rent when you can buy!

Those hoping to secure a new home at this popular address in Foxhall Road will need to move fast though. The current phase is almost sold out and Barratt has just released the final phase of properties, which has a mix of one and two bedroom apartments along with three and four bedroom houses.

Gary Ennis, Barratt regional managing director, says: “Almost all of the 288 new homes at Foxgrove Gardens are now occupied. Our development has transformed the former site of the Bull Motors factory, and more recently headquarters of Celestion, the loudspeaker company, into a highly desirable place to live.

“As the development draws to completion, we are delighted to celebrate its success by offering first time buyers a real chance to jump onto the property ladder with this substantial mortgage subsidy. Existing homeowners will also find the quality and prices of the properties excellent value and should ask about any other special offers available.”

The eye-catching development, set back from the road in a landscaped setting, is around a mile from the town centre. At its entrance is an attractive ‘pocket park’ complete with beautifully sculptured gates depicting a marching band and these were officially opened this summer by the Mayor of Ipswich, Councillor Inga Lockington.

Five imaginatively designed and decorated showhomes demonstrate the superb range of house styles available. All the properties offer space, style and an excellent specification. Ultra-modern kitchens are fitted with an oven, hob and extractor hood, bathrooms have bright white sanitary ware and chrome taps and there are en suite shower rooms to the master bedrooms.

The location of Foxgrove Gardens couldn’t be more convenient; there’s a bus stop right outside the development and the A14 can also be easily accessed. For those everyday needs, there is a Sainsbury’s nearby and a wider choice of shops in the town centre.

Prices for the remaining properties at Foxgrove Gardens are from £133,000 for a one- bedroom apartment, from £152,000 for a two-bedroom apartment, from £219,995 for a three-bedroom house and from £239,995 for a four-bedroom house.
