Dream homes at Millwood Grange
With space requirements including a home office and room for her brother to stay over, first time buyer Claire Foster knew she needed a starter house rather than an apartment. But, being a first time buyer with a limited budget, Claire thought she’d never be able to afford a house of her own, let alone a stunning new build.
However, thanks to Taylor Wimpey’s HomeBuy Direct* scheme, the 25 year old teacher is now the proud owner of her own three bedroom townhouse at Millwood Grange in Chadderton.
Claire explains: “I had never considered buying a new build property before because, as a first time buyer purchasing on my own, I’d always assumed they would be out of reach for me, so I thought I would have to settle for a flat or a house in a less desirable area further away from the city centre. It was only after my family persuaded me to view the properties at Millwood Grange, with the development being right next to where they live, that I decided to look around for myself.
“After viewing several properties, I chose the Aston style townhouse because it offered me more house for my money and was affordable to me, even with my limited budget, thanks to Taylor Wimpey’s HomeBuy Direct scheme.”
A great way for first time buyers to get on the property ladder, HomeBuy Direct* is aimed at helping those with a household income of less than £60,000 afford their own home, through an interest free equity loan. This means that purchasers using the scheme can snap up one of the three bedroom Aston or Delamere townhouses at Millwood Grange for just £115,465 (using HomeBuy Direct).
Claire says: “Without Taylor Wimpey’s HomeBuy Direct scheme I wouldn’t have been able to purchase a brand new home, let alone one of this size, in such a desireable area as Chadderton. It was the scheme that made my decision to buy easier as, without this opportunity, it would have been impossible for me to step straight onto the property ladder and into such a large home.
“Taylor Wimpey’s sales consultant, Angela, was just so friendly and helpful – she really did everything she could to help me and made the homebuying process quick and hassle-free, which is what every buyer wants. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend purchasing a home at Millwood Grange to anyone, especially fantastic schemes such as HomeBuy Direct making it even cheaper and easier than they might expect.”
The Aston style townhouse that Claire bought is a versatile three bedroom property spread over three floors, providing plenty of room for a growing family, couples seeking more space or those like Claire with working from home in mind.
A large, open plan kitchen / diner on the ground floor is an ideal space for entertaining and opens out on to the garden via patio doors. The first floor comprises a contemporary living room, complete with Juliet balcony, and a generous bedroom that would make the perfect guest room or home office.
The large master bedroom with en suite and fitted wardrobes is located in the eaves along with the third bedroom and a well-equipped family bathroom. An integral garage completes this home, providing secure parking.
Claire concludes: “I have lived with my parents since returning from university and, if I had known how easy Taylor Wimpey would make moving into a brand new house, I’d have done it sooner. Millwood Grange is a beautiful development close to my parents’ house so it is very convenient as I’ll able to walk round and see them, plus I don’t have too far to travel to work, as it is only a 15 minute drive in the morning.”
Offering something for everyone, Millwood Grange is a delightful development of three and four bedroom homes conveniently placed for access to Oldham, Middleton and Manchester further afield. Chadderton has everything you need for day to day living including shops, banks, a supermarket and a library.
