Sneak preview for homebuyers in Bedford
Following the resounding success of Lansdowne Villas, Storey Homes has released just two newly built villas located on Lansdowne Road in Bedford. The spacious three storey homes provide a rare opportunity to secure a brand new home in the area, prior to the next phase of new homes which is due to be launched in Spring 2011.
Here, future phases will see a further 220 new homes designed to reflect the local vernacular and built to the same high standards as the villas. Gareth Jacob, Head of Sales and Marketing at Storey Homes, comments: “The two new built villas offer a fantastic opportunity to capitalise on the Bedford property market which has seen an average price increase of 14% per house in the last year, compared to the UK average of 6%.”
The new homes have been designed to provide sumptuous family accommodation. On the ground floor the dining area is open plan to the substantial kitchen and features a magnificent bay window, ideal for window seats and extra storage. Featuring the latest in specification, the kitchens feature granite worktops, a stainless steel fridge freezer, an integrated dishwasher, a wine cooler and microwave, and an oven with five-ring gas hob and extractor hood.
Meanwhile a spacious lounge room features at the back of the house with bi-folding doors that open to reveal a landscaped rear garden. A separate utility room and w/c complete the floor.
Upstairs to the first floor, a spacious master bedroom features an en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms are located on this floor, both of which have access to a separate family bathroom. On the top floor, another double bedroom is provided with an en-suite shower room and airing cupboard.
The location of Lansdowne Villas makes it ideal for both city commuters and those embracing local life. Bedford mainline railway station is less than half a mile away, with trains into London St Pancras taking approximately 40 minutes, whilst international travellers will benefit from the close proximity of Luton Airport.
Lansdowne Road is also close to the centre of Bedford, with the main shopping centre, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants offering different types of cuisine under half a mile away. Sports enthusiasts are well catered for; as well as local rowing and bowling clubs there are 2 golf courses within 1.5 miles and 3 gyms, the nearest less than 0.5 mile away. Priory Country Park is a couple of miles away, and there is also a cinema, theatre and museums within easy reach.
Schooling is excellent, with the Bedford based Harpur Trust collection of private schools famed for the quality of their education at all ages close by.
Prices for the two new build villas start from £549,950. For further information, contact agents Urban and Rural.
