New home and new baby for couple in Chorley
Life just couldn’t be any better for Laura and Mark Williams and their new baby daughter Mia. Laura and Mark are the proud owners of a brand new home at Miller Homes’ Birkacre Park development in Chorley and have just welcomed their first child.
Baby Mia, who weighed-in at 8lb 3oz, is the first baby to be born at the development and is keeping her mum very busy. Laura says: “For such a tiny baby she really is keeping me on my toes! We can’t quite believe how lucky we are. We have a lovely new home and a gorgeous baby girl – what more could we want.”
Laura and Mark chose a 3 bedroom ‘Rydal Special’ house style. They purchased their new home with the help of the Government backed HomeBuy Direct [HBD] scheme aimed at helping first time buyers onto the property ladder. Time for a new home on the HBD scheme has now expired so Miller Homes have introduced its MiWay option, which enables home buyers to purchase 100% of a home from day one. Purchasers simply need to arrange finance for 85% of the price and Miller Homes provides a loan for the remaining 15%. The loan is interest free for the first five years and just 3% annual interest payable on the outstanding balance for the remaining five years of the term [5.4% APR typical].
Without such support Laura and Mark would never have been able to buy a brand new home. Laura continues: “When we heard about HomeBuy Direct we couldn’t believe it. We are so lucky to find such a beautiful house in the perfect location. We have never bought a brand new home before. It’s just so exciting to think that no one else has ever lived here. It’s amazing.”
The ‘Rydal Special’ has a large lounge / dining room at the rear of the house, with French doors opening out onto the garden. The bright airy master bedroom has its own en-suite and is ideal for family living as Laura explains: “What is perfect is that it is so quiet. The area is fabulous. It’s like living in the countryside but with everything you need close by. The garden is lovely and will be great for Mia when she is growing up.”
The location of Birkacre Park is also convenient for Laura and Mark with family close by in Euxton and easy for Mark to get to work. As well as the attraction of both the house and the development, Laura and Mark were bowled over by the support of Miller Homes’ Sales Advisor, Nina Jackson-Clayton. Laura says: “Nina was fantastic from the moment we met her. She is so friendly and made it really easy for us because she was with us all the way. Nina could not have been nicer and we really appreciate all the help she gave us.”
Birkacre Park is an attractive development of 2,3, 4, and 5 bedroom homes, which visitors will first appreciate when they approach via the tree-lined drive. With a water feature and landscaped seating area at the entrance, the development has a tranquil feel to it. Birkacre Park offers residents the benefits of both outdoor activities on the doorstep and Chorley town centre amenities close by. A three bedroom home is priced from £169,950, with MiWay available. 4 bedroom prices start from £189,950.
