Homes designed to suit you

Ten years ago, new build homes were all about function, so if a room was marketed as a bedroom, purchasers inevitably furnished it as a bedroom. But just as our lifestyles have now changed, so has the versatility and design of new homes and therefore our perception of how to use the space in which we live.

Persimmon Homes East Midlands is continuing to recognise this fact and is at the forefront of designing homes for modern living with portfolio of new homes with some of the most versatile three and four bedroom designs found at the company's Martingales development in Watlington.

Steve Matthews, sales director for Persimmon Homes East Midlands explains: "At Persimmon we want to offer househunters the best of both worlds, not just spacious houses at affordable prices, but also the option to create a house worth coming home to. By providing a blank canvas, we feel that our purchasers are safe in the knowledge that whatever their living needs are, our properties are able to accommodate them."

Prices at the development start from £219,995 for the four bedroom Clydesdale design, and Persimmon is prepared to pay the five per cent deposit, one per cent towards stamp duty as well as £1,000 towards legal fees and will even carpet the property throughout and turf the rear garden.

Steve concludes: "The size and layout of the rooms lend themselves perfectly to this ethos as buyers are able to create a study, home gym, an entertainment room or even a dressing room with the functional designs at Martingales."

Martingales is constructed around a series of cul-de-sacs, making it a peaceful place to call home, eliminating the worry of through traffic. At the centre of the site is an area of public open space for residents to enjoy. The development is set in the delightful village of Watlington close to the estuary of the River Great Ouse.

Families will love Martingales, as the growing community has everything you could possibly want for day-to-day living, including a post office and shop, pub, sports and social club, medical centre and county primary school.
