Farnborough homes flying high

With a global spotlight shining on Farnborough next week for the 60th anniversary of the world-famous international airshow, Redrow Homes is inviting visitors to take a look around their stunning new homes development which shares in the town's rich aviation history.

Redrow, who is sponsoring the visitors centre at the airshow (14-20 July) , has just completed the stunning refurbishment of the first of two former MoD buildings on the site of the Royal Aircraft Establishment, which forms part of its Farnborough Central development.

Before its transformation into high specification apartments, the original building, constructed in 1942, was used for many years for structural testing of airframes and components. It housed the Cathedral Test Rig used for research into aircraft landings, and, in keeping with its heritage, has been renamed Cathedral Court.

As Farnborough Central continues to take shape, a second building, formally a material and chemistry building - will also be transformed into a further 53 residential apartments and Redrow is also building 194 new apartments and 54 new townhouses.

Tina Chalk, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Southern), said: "The development is bound to fascinate aviation buffs and those in search of a contemporary new home with an historic twist.

"The one and two-bedroom conversion apartments have been designed with a contemporary edge. They all have fully integrated kitchens, with Electrolux and Zanussi appliances, and the bathrooms come with fitted furniture, down lighters and chrome heated towel rails.

"We now have two show apartments open in the converted building, which epitomise chic modern living. Home buyers can also look round a new build show apartment and townhouse, which have also been decorated and furnished to exacting standards by of talented team of professional interior designers.

"Visitors on the look out for a fabulous new home in unique surroundings may like to combine their trip to the airshow with a look around the new development."

Farnborough Central is located just outside the town centre of Farnborough, Hampshire. It is within easy commuting distance to London and situated around two miles from the nearest train station, which provides direct services to the capital in less than 40 minutes. It is also perfectly located for access to the surrounding towns less than three miles from the M3 motorway.

Tina added: "Farnborough Central is an outstanding venture that encapsulates the essence of modern life with a unique historical twist. The apartments are chic and contemporary - yet affordable and accessible to a range of homebuyers, enabling many to live within easy access of the capital, without paying capital price-tags."

Prices at Farnborough Central currently start from £185,500 for an apartment, £260,000 for a three-bedroom house and £315,000 for a four-bedroom house.
