Off plan buyers return in Bedford
Milton Keynes based Storey Homes has announced the success of its Lansdowne Villas development in Bedford where 70% of its converted 19th century Victorian villas have already sold off plan.
Gareth Jacob, Head of Sales and Marketing at Storey Homes comments: “Naturally we are delighted with the response we have had to Lansdowne Villas. Off plan purchasers are coming back to the market with confidence and taking advantage of today’s market prices, value for money and flexibility to have more input to their home at an early stage.”
Launched in January this year, purchasers have been so keen to get their hands on one of the spectacular family homes at Lansdowne Villas, only four of the restored villas remain for sale. The four homes remaining include 3 five bedroom homes ranging in size from 3323 sq ft to 3864 sq ft. There is also one substantial seven bedroom villa for sale which stands at an impressive 6697 sq ft.
Sympathetically redeveloped by Storey Homes and completed to a superior, contemporary specification, these luxurious and historic period homes offer purchasers the unique opportunity to live in a property that combines the elegance of the past with the style of the future. Detail includes high ceilings, open fireplaces and the magnificent restored bay windows which were all very popular for the Victorian period.
