New family homes prove popular in Wantage

Thames Valley Housing only has 10 four-bedroom family houses remaining at St Mary’s in Wantage, Oxfordshire, but according to them, this won’t be the case for much longer.

Each four-bedroom house, built by Berkeley Homes, will be finished to an exceptional standard including a kitchen with fridge / freezer and washer / dryer, oven, hob and extractor hood. Each property will also have contemporary fitted bathrooms, carpeting throughout (excluding wet areas, which have vinyl flooring), air source heat pump systems to radiators, an allocated parking space and a private garden.

These homes at St Mary’s are available to purchase through the government-led New Build HomeBuy part-buy, part-rent scheme which helps people step on the property ladder.

Kush Rawal, Head of Sales & Marketing, for Thames Valley Housing, comments: “The houses for sale at St Mary’s have been very popular and we expect the last few to sell very quickly. At £67,500 for a 25% share, this is an affordable option for families who may not otherwise be able to afford to upsize into a home that meets their needs.
