Stylish homes at The Bridge are selling out fast
Property-seekers in search of a stylish home in a superb location are being urged to visit George Wimpey’s The Bridge development in Dartford, Kent – where houses and apartments are being snapped up fast.
Eager to make the most of an improving market, which has seen property prices in the county rise for seven months in succession*, savvy buyers are moving quickly to take their pick from the great-value homes available in this sought-after collection.
Mark Pajak, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “This latest phase of homes at The Bridge is proving hugely popular with discerning homebuyers, and time is now running out for anyone interested in securing a place of their own here for 2010.
“With one-bedroom apartments from just £149,995, two-bedroom apartments from only £159,995, versatile two and three-bedroom live/work properties from as little as £224,995 and our amazing Easy Start shared equity scheme on selected homes, we have something to suit a whole range of buyers – as long as they’re quick enough.”
Just one of the options available to fast-moving purchasers is the one-bedroom ‘Swallows Court’ apartment, selected plots of which can be secured now for just 85% of the full £149,995 purchase price under the Easy Start initiative for first-time buyers – that’s only £127,496.
Featuring a spacious living/dining room with open-plan kitchen and a good-sized bedroom – each opening through to a well-appointed private terrace – this stylish design also includes a bathroom and a handy storage closet off the entrance hallway, plus allocated parking outside.
Through Easy Start, the purchaser only needs to raise a 5% deposit – just £7,500 – and George Wimpey will help arrange a mortgage for 80% of the price. The remaining 15% equity is covered by an interest-free loan from the housebuilder which is repayable in up to three instalments over a period of 10 years.
As alternatives to the homes available with Easy Start, quick-off-the-mark buyers can choose two-bedroom ‘Swallows Court’ apartments from only £159,995 or two-bedroom ‘Longreach’ apartments from just £169,995, with balconies or terraces to selected plots.
Three-storey live/work houses are designed with office space on the ground floor and generous living space across the top two storeys, and are priced from £224,995 for two-bedroom designs and £249,995 for three-bedroom options.
Meanwhile, the beautiful two-bedroom ‘Barnes’ terraced showhome is ready to move into now, complete with flooring, elegant decor and landscaped garden, for the exceptional value price of £224,995.
All new homes at The Bridge include allocated parking and are completed to a high standard specification with central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Part of the ongoing Thames Gateway regeneration, the development enjoys a peaceful position on the edge of Dartford and offers stunning views across the River Thames to the iconic QEII Bridge.
As well as offering sustainable living in a wide range of homes with unique contemporary architecture and gorgeous interiors, the community also benefits from a primary school which opened in September 2009, a nursery, youth centre, library and meeting rooms – all part of the Learning and Community Campus – plus shops, a hotel and 80 acres of public open space, parks and lakes.
The development is supported by excellent public transport, pedestrian and cycle links including a Fastrack bus service to Dartford, where zone 1 travel is free for residents of The Bridge, Bluewater shopping centre and railway stations at Dartford, Greenhithe, Gravesend and Ebbsfleet.
Ebbsfleet International has now begun frequent, 18-minute services to London St Pancras and is the UK’s fastest route to mainland Europe – just 125 minutes to Paris, 101 minutes to Brussels and 70 minutes to Lille.
The Bridge Sales Centre is located off Marsh Street North, Dartford, and open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm.
