A new dawn at Windsor Court, Birtley

There's a new Dawn at Barratt Newcastle’s Windsor Court in Birtley. Sales adviser Dawn Wilson has taken over at the popular development and has some terrific offers available on a range of new homes, including the Dream Start scheme, which means moving into a stylish ‘Falkirk’ apartment could cost as little as £79,500 – or a 3-bedroom ‘Norbury’ townhouse for just £142,500.

She said: “Dream Start is a great way to help first-time buyers to get onto the property ladder.

“You own 100 per cent of the property from Day One, but you pay only 75 per cent of the purchase price. There is no interest or rent to pay on the other 25 per cent for up to ten years or until you sell the property, whichever is sooner.

“We’re also offering fitted carpets throughout, kitchen appliances and £1,000 toward legal fees. It’s a very successful scheme but we can only offer it on selected plots for a limited period.”

The ‘Falkirk’ includes a light and airy open-plan living room with dining area, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom.

The ‘Norbury’ offers modern, flexible living space over three floors. The main living area features a spacious living/dining room with French doors into the garden, plus breakfasting kitchen and cloakroom. The first floor has two double bedrooms and bathroom, while the top floor is occupied by the master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite.

There are special deals at Windsor Court for move-up buyers too, including the famous Barratt part-exchange service. Homebuyers choose the new home they want, then the housebuilder arranges for an independent valuation of their present property. Barratt then make an offer based on the valuation, typically within seven days.

Prices at Windsor Court range up to £197,995. The development is conveniently located in Birtley, close to Chester-le-Street, and is surrounded by an excellent road network with access to Newcastle, Durham and Sunderland.

The sales office is open from 11.00am to 6.00pm, Friday to Tuesday. For more information, visit Barratthomes.co.uk/windsorcourt.
