Queen’s Gate opens in Peebles
Taylor Wimpey East Scotland has extended the choice of new family homes now available in Peebles with its latest development to launch in the town – Queen’s Gate.
Situated on the edge of the historic Borders town of Peebles, Queen’s Gate offers an impressive choice of two and three bedroom terrace and semi detached homes, as well as three and four bedroom detached family homes.
It will complement Taylor Wimpey’s neighbouring Kingsmeadow development by delivering a wider choice of smaller two and three bedroom family homes than has previously been available, and will increase the choice of three and four bedroom detached homes on offer too. Prices at Queen’s Gate start from £161,250 for the two bedroom Chester, plus the company’s Shared Equity* scheme is also available on selected plots.
Peebles is easily accessible with the region’s four main road routes each touching its boundary. It’s also within easy reach of Edinburgh, Glasgow, or even Carlisle – making it a superb choice for commuters. A good bus network also offers a great way to get round the local area.
The rich community life and bustling High Street, makes Peebles a great place to consider making your move to as Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland adds: “At its heart Peebles has a great High Street that’s packed full of local shops, restaurants and coffee shops to while away the hours, plus you’ll find a local bank, butcher, baker, greengrocer, local supermarkets and a post-office to take care of your day-to-day needs. A choice of primary and secondary education makes this a popular location for families.
“With a plethora of outdoor activities available locally including a packed programme at the local leisure centre, plus the beauty of nearby Glentress and its amazing mountain-bike trails and scenery – Queen’s Gate offers a superb place to call home.
“To mark the launch of this development, the company’s Shared Equity scheme is available on selected plots. This incentive is only available on selected plots at limited times throughout the year, and offers buyers the chance to secure their new dream home for only 85%* of the purchase price.
“Homeowners have the reassurance that they own 100% of their property from day one but as they’ll already have paid a 5% deposit, they only need to find a mortgage on 80% of the value. The other 15% is provided rent and interest free by Taylor Wimpey for up to ten years, at which point purchasers repay 15% of their home’s current market value. The scheme is flexible, allowing purchasers to repay the outstanding amount early or even make smaller one-off payments up to three times during the ten year period.“
The Queen’s Gate sales office is now open Thursday to Monday from 10am-5.30pm. Showhomes will be available to view early 2011.
