New homes in Ashford are just the ticket for commuters
Fairview New Homes is offering a year’s season ticket travel from Ashford to London to every purchaser of a home at Evolution, a new development of family homes and apartments in Ashford, Kent.
This offer takes advantage of the shortened commute time to the capital via the high speed bullet train from Ashford International to London St Pancras in just 38 minutes. Since the opening of the bullet train last year, Ashford has become a viable location for many London commuters and an ideal choice for those looking to purchase an excellent value new home.
Jim Holliday, Sales Director of Fairview New Homes, comments: “Residents of Evolution can be in the centre of London more quickly than some people living in the suburbs of the capital. To demonstrate the ease and pleasure of using the new trains, we are giving away a year’s free season ticket for travel from Ashford to London to new homebuyers. Commuting to the capital has never been easier.
“For many, buying a home in Greater London is very difficult, with property prices averaging at £406,608,” continues Mr. Holliday. “Buying in Ashford is a substantially cheaper option, with average property prices at £242,205 (figures based on research published by the BBC, January to March 2010). At Evolution, homebuyers can purchase a four-bedroom house from just £196,995,” he concludes.
Evolution is just a 15 minute walk from Ashford International station. Trains from this station regularly depart for London St Pancras, Paris, Brussels, Lille and Disneyland Paris.
There are one and two-bedroom apartments as well as three- and four-bedroom houses available at Evolution, all set around peaceful landscaped gardens.
The stylish new properties will have open-plan living areas and fully-fitted kitchens with fan ovens, electric hobs and washer-dryers. Each house and apartment is built with the environment in mind, with heating and hot water provided by a condensing boiler and a renewable energy system (houses only), and minimum 75% energy efficient light fittings.
Along with being an historic market town, Ashford is a thriving shopping area, with County Square shopping centre, and a popular designer outlet situated just a 10 minute walk from Evolution. The central Stour Leisure Centre has undergone a multi-million pound redevelopment and provides the community with a superb sports centre, gym and pool facilities.
Ashford is one of the government’s key growth areas, with an estimated £2.5 billion development strategy in place, and plans are afoot to create 28,000 new jobs in the area. The scheme is rapidly creating a town centre that will combine modern shopping malls and pedestrianised streets with first-class leisure facilities and popular cultural attractions.
Prices for new homes at Evolution start from £126,995 for a two-bedroom apartment and £196,995 for a four-bedroom house.
The marketing suite is open seven days a week from 10am to 5pm.
