Willans Green "fit for a queen"

As a site manager with over 30 years experience, James McHugh knows a thing or two about property. So when he and his wife Marion, 54, decided to invest, they looked no further than the impressive three-bedroom, three-storey homes at Willans Green in Rugby.

The 61-year-old Londoner says despite a breadth of choice in the town, he chose Redrow's development due to the high quality of properties on offer.

James said: "The homes at Willans Green are finished to exceptional standards and were always going to be a good investment. And the fact they have three good sized bedrooms makes them appealing to a variety of potential tenants. Renting the homes wasn't a problem."

Also making the properties attractive to tenants, according to James, is their desirable location.

James added: "The homes are close to Rugby town centre, yet within easy reach of the Warwickshire countryside. So tenants are getting the best of both worlds really."

Homebuyers and tenants here will benefit from a range of restaurants and public houses and a large shopping district. And for those looking to enjoy the country life,

Rugby boasts several large parks, including the beautiful Caldecott Park near the town hall.

Such is the demand for homes at Willans Green that 85% of the 300 properties have now been sold - a fact that doesn't surprise James.

"The properties are popular because they are fit for a queen! When people move in they don't have to do anything, just a few finishing touches and they're away."

Mary Timlin, sales director for Redrow Homes (South Midlands) says: "The versatility of three-storey living and the value for money factor are clearly visible in the Malham house types available at Willans Green. By going upwards instead of outwards, we have made maximum use of the land on which they're built."

If you are looking to invest, current availability at Willans Green includes an array of three and four-bedroom homes, competitively priced from £159,995.
