Seek out Southwood for the best in village living

Southwood

If location is everything when it comes to choosing a place to live, then Taylor Wimpey’s stunning Southwood development in Northamptonshire has it all.

 

With the county’s beautiful countryside on its doorstep, this charming collection of contemporary homes is set within the brand new village of Little Stanion, a growing community blending modern living with traditional neighbourhood values.

 

Providing all the benefits of relaxed village life, with shops, playing fields, village greens, lakes, woodland walks, cycleways and a primary school opening soon, Southwood is also just three miles from Corby’s great shopping and leisure facilities – and within easy reach of Leicester, Northampton and London by road and rail.

 

With its wide range of attractive home designs now available and prices starting at only £89,995, this hugely popular development has something for every buyer.

 

For the perfect partner to this peaceful location, house-hunters are urged to see the magnificent four-bedroom ‘Lulworth’ townhouse, priced at just £214,995.

 

Laid out over three storeys, this impressive double-fronted design has a spacious kitchen/breakfast room – ideal for relaxed family mealtimes – which spans the full depth of the property, as well as a formal dining room with French doors leading to the private rear garden.

 

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a guest cloakroom and a utility room, while the first floor landing leads to a light and airy living room with Juliet balcony and a splendid master bedroom with en-suite facilities.

 

Two further good-sized bedrooms are upstairs on the top floor, along with a family bathroom and a fourth bedroom which could alternatively be used as a study.

 

The ‘Lulworth’ also benefits from a detached single garage and, like all new homes at Southwood, is finished to a high standard specification including double glazing, central heating and fully fitted kitchen with oven, hob and hood.

 

Property-seekers on the lookout for something a little less expansive can choose the one-bedroom ‘Lodmoor’ coach-house style apartment – available now for just £89,995.

 

This first-floor home is the perfect choice for first-time buyers and couples, and features a private front door and entrance hall leading up to a large lounge/dining room with open-plan kitchen, a shower room and a master bedroom with built-in storage cupboard. The ‘Lodmoor’ also comes with an integrated single garage below the living space.

 

Southwood at Little Stanion is located on the edge of the established village of Stanion, which offers a choice of pubs, a community centre and a striking medieval church.

 

Nearby Corby is in the midst of a major regeneration project which has recently seen the opening of a brand new shopping centre, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a railway station with direct services to London St Pancras.

 

To make buying a home at Southwood even easier, house-hunters can take advantage of incentives for first-time buyers and Taylor Wimpey’s easymover programme, 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 Sales Executive.

 

To find out more about the homes now available at Southwood, visit the Sales Centre and showhomes, located off Longcroft Road, Stanion, and open Friday to Monday from 10.30am to 5.30pm, or log on to taylorwimpey.co.uk .
