Buck the trend with a new home in Aberdare

While detached living has always been a much sought-after commodity, it's becoming a rarity in the new homes market - but happily not at Three Oaks, in Aberdare, where Redrow has a choice of stand alone properties available to move into now.

Although the demand for detached living has never slowed down, current government planning regulations to maximise land use mean developers are building fewer detached homes - which can lead to disappointment for home-buyers with aspirations of owning their own ‘separate space.'

Julie Ells, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), said: "Three Oaks has proved to be a popular development, with stunning views of the Welsh countryside. The detached properties have been particularly sought-after, helped in part by the fact that truly detached, brand new homes are increasingly rare.

"Detached homes appeal to a variety of customers - especially families and discerning young professionals who want that extra bit of space or privacy. However they can also appeal to friends who have chosen to house-share and investors."

Redrow's superb Three Oaks development in Aberdare, which offers views of beautiful rolling hills surrounding the new homes, has a selection of three and four-bedroom detached properties for sale.

Julie added: "Here in South Wales we have some of the most spectacular countryside in the world and Three Oaks is right in the heart of the Rhondda Valley.

"The striking views of the hills, fields and woodlands create the perfect tranquil setting for people looking to enjoy a relaxed life, while still being in easy reach of nearby towns and cities. Aberdare town centre is just two miles away and Cardiff and Swansea are both very accessible via the road network and railway station, which is just 500 metres away. There's also a good choice of schools locally, which will appeal to families and a supermarket nearby."

A selection of three and four-bedroom detached homes are available from £174,995 to £214,995. There is also a choice of terraced and semi-detached homes, priced from £149,995.

The three-bedroom ‘Hardwick' detached home has an en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom, separate dining room and a detached garage.

Home buyers can also choose the ‘Ouse', a four-bedroom detached three-storey home with a ‘ready-made loft conversion', providing an extra floor of flexible living space. It also boasts a host of other family friendly features, including a utility room off the kitchen, downstairs cloakroom, and an open-plan kitchen / dining room that's the perfect place for families to convene.

The four-bedroom ‘Otter' also has plenty of space for a family to spread out in, with an en-suite to the master bedroom, downstairs cloakroom in addition to the main bathroom, a utility room and separate dining room.

To provide added comfort and reassurance to prospective homebuyers, award winning Redrow Homes has extended its ‘house price protection' promise until May 4th - helping to protect the value of its customers' new homes for up to three years*.

It is one of the measures under the umbrella of ‘re:assure from Redrow', which are all designed to give home buyers confidence and to help get them moving in the current housing market.

As well as helping to protect the value of their new home, Redrow's ‘re:assure' package includes measures to help people sell their current property at the best possible price and the option to part-exchange on selected plots.

If a customer sells their new Redrow property during the qualifying period and gets less than they paid, Redrow will refund the difference up to 10% of the purchase price paid and for a period of up to three years from the date of legal completion. House price protection is available at most Redrow developments, with the exception of its low-cost, first time buyer Debut product. It cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount. Offer valid on all properties reserved up to and including May 4th 2008.
