Choose the quiet life at Staffordshire’s best kept secret

 Choose the quiet life at Staffordshire’s best kept secret If location is everything when it comes to choosing a place to live, then George Wimpey’s stunning Canalside Wharf development in Staffordshire has it all.

With picturesque countryside on its doorstep, this charming collection of contemporary homes is set alongside a beautiful stretch of the Trent and Mersey canal within the peaceful village of Weston – one of Staffordshire’s best-kept secrets.

Providing all the benefits of laid-back and traditional village living, the former farming community of Weston offers a range of everyday local amenities, including a post office, a pub, a children’s playground, a doctor’s surgery and a village hall – with plenty of opportunities for relaxing countryside walks and cycling nearby.

Yet at the same time, the lively town of Stafford lies just a few miles away with its rich variety of shops, places to eat, leisure facilities and nightlife. The town’s railway station provides regular services to London, Birmingham and Liverpool, while the M6 is only a 15-minute drive from the development.

With its wide range of attractive home designs now available and prices ranging from £128,995 to £230,000, Canalside Wharf has something for every buyer.

The perfect partner to the peaceful location is the magnificent three-bedroom, semi-detached ‘Fradley’ – priced from just £230,500 and a must-see for house-hunters.

This stylish, family-sized home features a wonderful, open-plan kitchen/dining room with a door to the private rear garden, a large lounge and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, as well as two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Selected ‘Fradley Special’ homes feature attractive bay windows and Juliet balconies to the master bedrooms.

As an alternative to the ‘Fradley’ designs, property-seekers can choose the two-bedroom ‘Huddson’ apartment, available from just £133,500, or the one-bedroom ‘Clifton Special’ apartment, priced from only £119,950.

All new homes at Canalside Wharf benefit from either a garage or allocated parking, and are finished to a high-standard specification, including double glazing, central heating and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

George Wimpey also offers a range of money-saving incentives to make moving to a new home at the development even more appealing, including easymover, which lets customers with a house to sell reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder helps to find a buyer for their current property and pays the estate agent’s fees.

Incentives can be tailored to homebuyers’ circumstances and are subject to availability. Further details are available from the Canalside Wharf Sales Centre, located off Saltworks Lane, Weston, and open Thursday to Monday from 11am to 5pm.
