Barns provide blueprint for new homes in Telford

Taylor Wimpey’s Stocking Farm Barns development is an exclusive development of just five new homes in Telford.

Property-seekers who want the convenience of a beautiful new-build property – but who also appreciate the heritage of their home – are urged to take a closer look at Taylor Wimpey’s exclusive Stocking Farm Barns development of houses for sale in Telford.

Steeped in rural history, the development of homes for sale in Telford occupies the site of a medieval farm which became part of the Earl of Craven’s estate, recorded on the estate map of 1772.

The development of new homes in Telford offers a fantastic alternative for home-hunters who are looking for houses for sale in Wolverhamton, Stafford property or homes for sale in Shrewsbury.

The remains of a brick-built farm house and barns dating back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries inspired the careful re-imaginings of these buildings, which will now become magnificent new homes for five discerning house-hunters who want their own individual Shropshire property.

Anyone hoping to secure one of these dream properties will have to act quickly as they have already been attracting a great deal of interest from potential home-buyers.

Daniel McGowan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “These wonderful barn conversion-style homes offer all the advantages of a new-build – energy efficiency and low maintenance costs, for example – but with the added appeal of period character.

“By sympathetically reimagining the farm buildings at Stocking Farm, the properties will provide exquisite homes for the lucky purchasers and preserve the legacy of this site for generations to come.

“We would urge anyone interested in moving to Stocking Farm Barns to contact us today to avoid missing out on this superb opportunity!”

The new properties include the stylish one-bedroom ‘Laburnum Cottage’, priced at just £144,995, which is single-storey home.

Two-storey designs comprise the delightful two-bedroom ‘Foxglove Cottage’, just £225,000, the spacious three-bedroom ‘Farmhouse’ at £250,000, and the wonderful three-bedroom ‘Haybarn Cottage, for only £265,000.

Each barn conversion blends traditional architecture with striking contemporary styling and is completed to a high standard specification including double glazing, central heating and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood. Included with each plot is a garage and additional parking, or two allocated parking spaces.

All the new homes, which form part of the new Lightmoor Village community, are fitted with eco-features as standard including high levels of loft insulation, water-saving devices and A-rated appliances.

A new 210-place primary school is due to open at Lightmoor in September 2010, and will have seven classes, a social play area and a multi-use games area for a range of sports and outdoor activities.

There will also be facilities within the school building to benefit the wider community, including meeting rooms, a hall, indoor sports and recreation areas and changing rooms, with long-term stewardship of the whole development to be secured by a specially convened Village Trust.

Lightmoor Village nestles in beautiful landscape between Telford and Coalbrook Dale and benefits from over 50 acres of open landscaped areas for leisure, sport and recreational use.

The community will also be well-served by existing and new public transport links, with a bus service to Telford town centre where a wider range of shops and schools for children of all ages can be found.

Commuters will appreciate that the M54 and M6 just a short drive away, while Telford’s railway station provides links to Wolverhampton and Birmingham.
