Eager buyers flock to Kirk Merrington

There is just a handful of new homes now left for sale at Saxonfields in Kirk Merrington, Durham, where eager buyers have been keeping sales adviser Helen Peverell busy.

There are now only eight homes remaining at the development, including the superb 4-bedroom “Ascot” design which is available from £273,500, with part exchange considered.

It also comes with a £200 a month mortgage subsidy until 2011, and for fast movers looking to complete before the end of June, Barratt will pay legal and moving costs and include free carpets.

“This is a terrific family home, ideal for modern living,” said Barratt North East sales manager Steve Mariner. “The mortgage subsidy makes it even more affordable and buyers could also take advantage of our part exchange service, which takes away all the hassle of trying to sell their old house.”

The Ascot has a well-planned interior with a light and spacious living room, dining room, with French doors into the garden, fully-fitted breakfasting kitchen also with French doors and a handy utility room.

Upstairs, the main bedroom and second bedroom both have en suites and there is a quiet study at the front of the house. The Ascot also has an integral garage.

Saxonfields is an exclusive development of family homes, in a hillside setting with lovely views over the Wear Valley and Cleveland Hills. Kirk Merrington, near Bishop Auckland, is an attractive village with plenty of amenities close by and is well placed for commuting to North East business centres.

Other homes are available from £192,500, including the popular “Norbury” 3-bedroom townhouse. The development is open from 10.00am to 5.00pm, Thursday to Monday. For more details, visit Barratthomes.co.uk/saxonfields.
