Easy transport at Coopers Edge

A new bus route will soon be running through Barratt's Coopers Edge development in the picturesque village of Hucclecote in Gloucestershire, making it easy to travel to Gloucester city centre just five miles away.

"Coopers Edge is part of a unique community being developed on the outskirts of the village and a good transport policy is a vital part of the preservation of the area," reports Barratt sales manager Andrea Pilgrim.

"The new bus service is expected to link the development to Gloucester and Cheltenham as well as other local areas, and will play an important part in reducing traffic congestion.

"In fact, the local area has a very high conservation profile," Louise continued. "The new community will include large areas of public open space and a local brook is to be restored. Numerous projects are also underway to protect wildlife - including barn owls, bats and birds - and there will be a network of footpaths and cycle paths.

Barratt's Coopers Edge development is now in the second phase of building and current availability includes two-bedroom apartments, priced from £165,750, and three-bedroom detached houses and town houses priced from £219,995.

Buyer incentives include a ‘Head Start' deal for first-time buyers, whereby they secure a mortgage for 85 per cent of the total property price and Barratt finances the remaining 15 per cent for up to 10 years.

People moving up to a larger home can take advantage of Barratt's part exchange option. This includes a guaranteed fixed price offer on a buyer's current home within 48 hours, and ensures a stress free move - without agency fees and the worry of dealing with viewers or unstable chains.

The Coopers Edge community is located just off junction 11A of the M5, between Gloucester and Cheltenham. When complete, it will offer a range of homes and new amenities, including schools, high street shops, pubs, restaurants, a sports centre and a business park.
