New homes for less at sought-after development in Streetly

Smart house-hunters are still flocking to a hugely popular George Wimpey development in Streetly, Birmingham – where beautiful brand new homes are now available for significantly less than their second-hand equivalent.

Thanks to soaring sales, the leading housebuilder has already sold out of its stock of homes for 2009 at Kingsland Grange, and eager buyers are still taking advantage of its great prices by securing properties off-plan ready for a 2010 move.

According to the property search website Home.co.uk, the average cost of a second-hand four-bedroom house in Streetly is in excess of £420,000* – yet stylish four-bedroom homes at Kingsland Grange are on sale from only £289,995!

Similarly, a stunning five-bedroom detached home is available at the development from just £399,995, when the average cost of a similar-sized second-hand property in the area is more than £670,000*!

Daniel McGowan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The combination of low prices, impressive designs and top-drawer build quality is making Kingsland Grange one of our most popular developments in the region, and the homes are now being snapped up off-plan.

“By choosing their home before it has been built, customers can make the most of a wealth of advantages, including the chance to select the flooring and carpets, kitchen finishes and appliances, showers, tiling, bathroom suites and lighting, to suit their taste and requirements.

“Buying off-plan also means customers can secure their dream home at today’s low cost, which will remain fixed even if properties of the same design increase in price.”

A selection of highly-desirable homes is available to reserve now for a 2010 move, including the splendid four-bedroom ‘Tolworth’ detached home, priced from just £302,500.

With an integrated garage and private front drive for additional parking, this delightful property boasts a spacious front lounge with attractive bay window and a modern kitchen with separate utility room.

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

Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room while three further bedrooms and a main bathroom complete the magnificent, family-sized accommodation.

Alternatively, purchasers can select the four-bedroom detached ‘Westbourne’ housetype, priced from just £289,995, or the sumptuous five-bedroom ‘Linford’, available from only £399,995.

All new homes at Kingsland Grange are finished to a high-standard specification, including gas central heating, double glazing and a fully fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Streetly is home to a wide range of shops catering for everyday needs, as well as a library, community sports facilities, pubs and places to eat, four primary schools and a specialist sports college.

Sutton Park nature reserve – 2,400 acres of woodland, heath and wetlands – is also close by and offers ample opportunity for walking, cycling, fishing, sailing and orienteering.

For commuters, Birmingham, Walsall and the M6 are all within easy reach.
