New family homes for New Year in Swansea

Families looking for a traditional new home in 2011 with an interior specification that is right up to date need look no further than the homes in Redrow’s New Heritage Collection near Swansea.

The superior selection of three, four and six-bedroom homes at Awel-y-Mor, in Birchgrove display many character features influenced by the Art and Crafts era – a time when quality and individuality was paramount.

Rachael Davies, area sales manager, for Redrow Homes (South Wales), said: “These homes would suit families moving up the property ladder who are looking for a traditional style home, perhaps evocative of the family home they grew up in.

“With their enduring designs and high specification modern interiors, we believe our New Heritage Collection homes stand out from the crowd, with more included as standard than many new build houses.”

The four-bedroom ‘Lincoln’, for example, features a beautiful fitted kitchen, with floor to ceiling units, which leads into a convivial open-plan dining and family room, creating a very light, airy and sociable L-shaped room. An elegant separate lounge, utility room and cloakroom make up the remainder of the spacious ground floor. Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms, including a master with en-suite, and a family bathroom.

Homes from The New Heritage Collection at Awel-y-Mor are currently priced from £164,995 for a three-bedroom ‘Warwick’ to £259,995 for a six-bedroom detached home. The Lincoln is priced from £219,995.

And with the weatherman forecasting more cold snaps this winter, home owners will be delighted to hear that Redrow’s new homes are well insulated, double glazed, centrally heated and generally more energy efficient than their second hand counterparts, which could help keep fuel bills in check. A new home is also easy to maintain and covered by a 10-year ‘Buildmark’ guarantee.

Within easy reach of Swansea Marina and the stunning Mumbles and Gower coastline, families who love the outdoor life can find their perfect home at Awel-y-Mor. There are good school’s locally and all of Swansea’s shops, bars and restaurants just a few miles away.
