Get off to a dream start in Norwich

Anyone looking for a two-bedroom apartment in an attractive village setting with great facilities, close to Norwich, will need to move quickly to secure one of the last remaining apartments at Barratt Eastern Counties' Ringland Park development at Queen's Hills, Costessey.

These smart contemporary apartments, which have two bathrooms and are fully carpeted, have proved enormously popular. The last apartments are almost complete and purchasers will be able to move in very quickly. Prices start from just £137,995 and Barratt is taking away the difficulty of raising a deposit with its Dream Start incentive, which allows you to own 100 per cent of a brand new apartment for only 75 per cent of the cost. The remaining 25 per cent is an interest-free loan that can be repaid at any time within ten years.

Ringland Park is part of the new village at Queen's Hills in Costessey, just five miles from Norwich. Queen's Hills is set in 86 acres of beautiful parkland and is a thriving community with its own village centre, primary school, recreation ground, football pitches and plenty more.

The light and airy two-bedroom apartments are housed in an attractive low-storey building set around a quiet courtyard and with plenty of green space to enjoy. The homes are very easy to maintain and beautifully designed with an open plan living/dining area leading to a fully equipped kitchen. The master bedroom has its own en-suite shower room and there is a second bathroom, including a full shower, making these homes ideal for sharing. Allocated parking is provided in the courtyard.

As part of the development of Queen's Hills, shops are planned close to the apartments, which will make everyday living and shopping very convenient.

Living at Queen's Hills combines a great lifestyle in beautiful country surroundings with very easy access to Norwich. A bus service runs every 15 minutes to Norwich City Centre with its excellent shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and the newly refurbished Theatre Royal. This makes shopping and nights out very easy, saving the cost, hassle and expense of taking a car.

From Norwich Station, it's just 40 minutes to Ipswich and around two hours to London's Liverpool Street. Norwich International Airport is just a 15-minute drive away. The A47 ring road is very close to Ringland Park, providing access to the A11.

Also available at Ringland Park are two, three and four-bedroom houses priced from £159,995. For more information, log on to Barratthomes.co.uk.
