Buyers snap up new Barratt homes in Winchester

Eager buyers are snapping up homes at Highcroft, Barratt’s newly launched development in the cathedral city of Winchester.

“This new site is proving to be very popular and we’ve sold a home every week since our launch four weeks ago,” reports Mark Docherty, Barratt sales director. “Sales range from a three-storey townhouse to one and two-bedroom apartments.

“A professional couple with a family bought the townhouse, and a father purchased one of the apartments for his daughter, who is studying at Winchester University. Our apartments are also ideal for people who want to downsize to a smaller home.

“One of the main attractions for buyers is the fabulous location,” Mark continued. “Highcroft nestles in a leafy road in Sleepers Hill, a prestigious area in the west of Winchester, and lies close to countryside.

“However, the city centre is just a 15-minute walk away and there are excellent local bus services. The development is perfect for commuters, with a direct service to London Waterloo in just 58 minutes. The M3 and M27 offer excellent transport links to Basingstoke, Southampton, the New Forest and Dorset.”

Current availability at Highcroft includes The Jacob, a three-storey townhouse priced from £499,995. The ground floor comes with a garage, garden room/bedroom, utility room and cloakroom. The first floor offers a kitchen and spacious living/dining room, and the second floor has a bathroom and three bedrooms, one with an en-suite.

The Kings Lodge apartment block offers a selection of one and two-bedroom homes and each comes with a fully fitted kitchen, living/dining area and parking space. Prices start from £215,995 for a one-bedroom apartment and from £240,995 for a two-bedroom property.

Although Highcroft lies close to wooded countryside there are numerous amenities and leisure facilities close by, including bars, restaurants and the city’s train station.

Winchester nestles on the edge of the South Downs. Quaint shopping streets, fine architecture, a magnificent 11th century cathedral, Winchester College and the Great Hall housing King Arthur's Round Table all blend together, to create an inspirational city packed with history and overflowing with charm.
