Stylish, affordable homes in the heart of Leicestershire

First time buyers in Leicestershire have the opportunity to move into a stylish new space of their own - at a very affordable price.

Research by the housing charity Shelter* suggests that almost one in four 18 to 34-year-olds are still living with their parents; often because they believe they can’t afford a place of their own.

But at Redrow’s Rossendale Gardens development, in Earl Shilton, buyers can now secure a beautifully styled, modern, two-bedroom home from only £119,995 – enjoying their new-found independence in an easy-to-manage, energy-efficient home.

The ‘Dale’ boasts a spacious lounge, downstairs cloaks and contemporary kitchen / dining area with French doors out to the garden, as part of a small, intimate development close to Earl Shilton town centre and within easy commuting distance of Leicester, Hinkley and Nuneaton. Both its bedrooms are doubles and the quality of fixtures and fittings throughout befit a much larger, more expensive home.

Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), said: “Buying your first home is a big step, but it could be more affordable than you realise. The competitive price of properties at Rossendale Gardens means they’re ideal starter homes and unlike renting, you will actually have something to show for your investment.

“Because they are so low-maintenance they are ideal homes for people starting out or indeed starting over. Their traditional looking exteriors belie contemporary interiors, including statement-making kitchens with floor to ceiling cabinets and top brand name appliances all built-in.”

Earl Shilton, described as ‘commuter heaven’ due to its easy proximity to the M1, M69, M42 and A5, provides a range of amenities including a host of local independent shops and restaurants and takeaways to suit every palette.

Rossendale Gardens features a variety of two and three-bedroom homes. They include homes from Redrow’s critically acclaimed New Heritage Collection, from £124,995.
