Buyers ‘Forge’ ahead for new homes in Telford

With just two stylish new homes remaining for sale, property-seekers are being urged to act quickly to secure a place at The Forge, George Wimpey’s hugely popular development in Telford.

Buyers have been eager to snap up the desirable collection of houses and apartments at this highly sought-after location – and the final duo of four-bedroom homes now on sale is unlikely to be available for long with great-value prices starting at just £249,995.

Included in the selection is the fabulous ‘Broseley’ showhome – a ready-made detached family house complete with luxury decor and fittings.

Daniel McGowan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our fabulous homes at The Forge have been a big hit with buyers, who have been quick to benefit from the fantastic deals we have on offer.

“House-hunters who have been holding out to see what the property market does should come to see us now to take advantage of our great prices.

“According to the latest figures from Nationwide, property prices rose in August for the fourth successive month, yet the average home is still significantly cheaper than it was a year ago*. With confidence returning to the market, now is the perfect time to invest in a brand new home.”

Quick-off-the-mark buyers can have the pick of the two final four-bedroom ‘Broseley’ house-types at The Forge.

This impressive home is laid out in an appealing L-shaped design, with a generously-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room – complete with pantry and utility area – perfectly suited for relaxed family mealtimes.

The ground floor also boasts a spacious living room with French doors leading to the private rear garden, as well as a formal dining room and guest cloakroom.

Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from built-in double wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom also enjoys en-suite facilities, with two further bedrooms and a main bathroom completing the first-floor accommodation.

Each ‘Broseley’ also features a single garage or allocated parking space – or both – and enjoys a high standard specification, including central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with oven, hob and hood.

The detached ‘Broseley’ showhome, available for £269,995, is real gem for the lucky purchaser and comes fully furnished with beautiful fixtures and fittings and decorated from top to bottom with the latest interior designs.

The Forge is part of Ironstone, a new sustainable village community at Lawley, on the outskirts of Telford, within easy reach of the beautiful Shropshire countryside and comprising four distinct neighbourhoods, a bustling social hub, classical architecture and open spaces.

The community has also been carefully designed to integrate a range of new facilities, including its own central square with designer shops, trendy wine bars and eateries, a mixed-use village centre and a primary school, as well as a wide choice of affordable homes.

For commuters, the village is well-served by existing and new public transport links and the M54 and M6 are a short drive away.

Telford – the largest town in Shropshire – lies less than three miles from the development and is home to a vast array of leisure opportunities, including a large shopping centre and the accompanying town park, a multi-screen cinema, bars, cafes, restaurants and a vibrant nightlife.

To find out more, visit The Forge Sales Centre, located off Arlestone Lane, Lawley, and open Thursday to Monday from 11am to 5pm.
