A luxurious four-bedroom house at Highfields, Taylor Wimpey’s exclusive development of new homes for sale in St Albans, is on offer with Part Exchange.

House-hunters looking to make the next link in the property chain can avoid the hassle and headache of the homes market by choosing the four-bedroom ‘Batchwood’ detatched house at Plot 16 of Highfields, Taylor Wimpey’s exclusive development of just 34 houses in St Albans.

With the leading housebuilder’s Part Exchange initiative, those trading up to this stylish St Albans property can relax in their current home until their new place is ready to move into, knowing that they have a guaranteed buyer without the worry of their side of the property chain collapsing.

Tony Woodman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “It can be heartbreaking when you fall in love with a property and then find that it’s been snapped up by someone else while you’re struggling to sell your current home, or worse, that you have an offer accepted and then can’t proceed because there’s a problem further down the chain.

“Using our Part Exchange scheme at this beautiful development in St Albans is just like having a cash buyer and the whole process can save you time, money and a great deal of stress!

“But with such a stunning, spacious new home available through Part Exchange, potential buyers need to hurry so they don’t miss out on the ‘Batchwood’ at Highfields.”

The ‘Batchwood’ at plot 16 offers wonderfully spacious accommodation laid out in an attractive L-shaped design.

It features a contemporary kitchen with family/breakfast area and a separate living room, each opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a dining room and a handy cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs the landing leads to the magnificent master bedroom with en-suite, three further bedrooms and a main bathroom. The property, which is priced at just £625,000, also benefits from a garage and allocated parking outside.

Like all new homes at Highfields, the ‘Batchwood’ is completed to a high standard specification, including gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Highfields is located in a scenic location overlooking fields on the outskirts of St Albans. The city boasts a wealth of shops, bars and restaurants, schools for children of all ages and leisure facilities.

Commuters will appreciate that Highfields is situated just three miles from St Albans railway station with regular trains to London St Pancras in just 20 minutes.

As well as excellent rail links, the development is close to major roads such as the M1, M25 and the A1 – making any journey by car a simple one.

Famed for its cathedral and Roman history, St Albans has a thriving cultural life with numerous arts venues including The Alban Arena, Abbey Theatre and the Albans Art Theatre. The museum of everyday life in Roman Britain, the Verulamium Museum, features magnificent mosaics and recreated rooms.

The area offers a wealth of villages, good pubs, beautiful walks, historic churches and family attractions such as Shaw’s Corner and the de Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre nearby. A little further afield is Hatfield House, a stunning Jacobean house steeped in royal history, within an extensive park.

To find out more about Taylor Wimpey’s incredible Part Exchange scheme at Highfields, home-hunters can visit the Sales Centre in Highfield Lane, St Albans, open Thursday to Sunday from 10am until 5.30pm and Mondays from 10am to 2pm.
