Find your perfect match at Augusta Park

Location is one of the most important factors involved in choosing a new home, and when Paul and Jacqui Nolan decided they needed a larger place to live, they knew it would have to be in exactly the right spot.

So when the couple discovered Taylor Wimpey’s The Romans at Augusta Park, near Andover, they were delighted to have hit upon a development that fulfilled all of their house-hunting requirements.

Boasting the best of both town and country, this popular new community is surrounded by Hampshire’s picturesque countryside and yet lies just a few minutes from a host of local amenities and convenient commuter routes.

Jacqui (51), an executive assistant in the financial services sector, says: “I’m a country girl at heart and I like to live away from the town, so The Romans at Augusta Park really is ideal. It’s surrounded by lovely farmland but you only have to go five minutes down the road to find absolutely everything you need.”

Jacqui and Paul, a 46-year-old warehouse manager, were keen to upsize from their small three-bedroom bungalow near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, but felt put off by the high prices of larger properties in the same area.

By moving to The Romans at Augusta Park, they were able to secure a spacious four-bedroom detached house with an expansive, south-facing garden for less than the sum they received for their previous home.

The couple also took advantage of Taylor Wimpey’s Options range, which lets customers choose interior finishing touches to match their individual taste and requirements, including carpets, flooring, tiles, kitchen units, worktops and appliances – all of which are expertly fitted before they are handed the keys.

“We moved in the middle of January when the weather was freezing cold, so the last thing we wanted was to have to put up with bare floors while we waited for a carpet to be fitted,” says Jacqui. “Taylor Wimpey made sure everything was finished well before we moved, which was a real bonus for us. I have to say, we are genuinely delighted with our new home and it’s absolutely ideal for our needs.”

A superb selection of three and four-bedroom houses is now available at The Romans at Augusta Park, with prices starting at just £188,995 for three-bedroom designs and as little as £244,995 for four-bedroom options.

The four-bedroom detached ‘Kintbury’, for example, is the perfect choice for couples, like Jacqui and Paul, in search of luxurious home comforts, or for growing families, and is priced from only £259,995.

With a light and airy living room spanning the entire depth of the property and opening through French doors to the private rear garden, the ground floor of the double-fronted ‘Kintbury’ is completed by a kitchen with breakfast and utility areas, a separate dining room and a handy guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a large master bedroom with en-suite boasting an extra-large shower cubicle, three further bedrooms and a main bathroom, while two allocated parking spaces can be found outside.

All new homes at The Romans at Augusta Park are completed to a high standard specification, including double glazing, central heating and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

And to make choosing a home at this ideally located development even more appealing, Taylor Wimpey offers a range of time and money-saving incentives, including help with finding a buyer for those with a property to sell and assistance with estate agents’ fees, legal costs and moving house.

Alongside the new homes within the growing community of Augusta Park, a new primary school, community centre, sports hall and playing fields are to be constructed, as well as employment areas which may include new local shops and leisure amenities.

The development area is also home to mature trees, which are being incorporated into the landscape to form small parks and green spaces dotted between the homes.

Currently, a range of shops, including a supermarket, are within easy reach of the development, a choice of primary schools are located within half a mile, while a good selection of secondary and further education can be found in Andover.
