Families settle into new homes in Birstall
New homeowners take it easy with a move to Cedar Walk, Taylor Wimpey’s stunning development of homes for sale in Leicestershire.
The first buyers are settling into their brand new properties at Taylor Wimpey’s Cedar Walk development of new homes in Birstall, Leicestershire – and with the housebuilder’s help, they’re finding it a very smooth move to make.
Andrew and Jacqui Morris topped off an amazing 2010 by moving into their fabulous three-bedroom ‘Fermain’ property in Birstall. The couple, who both lived in homes in Leicester previously, wed in September, having found the perfect house in which to enjoy married life.
“Andrew had a one-bedroom flat in Leicester, which we put on the market in April, and I had a one-bedroom house in Leicester, which we also needed to sell,” explains 55-year-old Jacqui, a civil servant.
“We visited Cedar Walk in May 2010, and immediately fell in love with the look of the ‘Fermain’ house style, because it’s such an attractively designed property.
“We also found out that Taylor Wimpey would buy my house from me in part-exchange towards our new place, which worked out extremely well for us. Even the slightest things were taken care of by the Sales Executive, so that we didn’t have to worry about arranging anything, and we used Taylor Wimpey’s free home removals package, which looked after everything on moving day.”
Although there wasn’t a ‘Fermain’ showhome open for Jacqui and Andrew to view at the development in Birstall, they were quite happy to visit one at Taylor Wimpey’s Briars Chase development in Ilkeston.
In fact, even after they had decided it was the house style for them, they were so thrilled they went back to Ilkeston a second time, to have another look and to measure up for furnishings.
Andrew (33), a skilled cabinet-maker, has made bespoke furniture for their new home, and the couple have chosen a number of personalised finishing touches from Taylor Wimpey.
“We’re really enjoying life together in our new home,” says Andrew. “It’s fairly central for my work, and handy for the A6. It’s just what we wanted and we can see ourselves living here for a long time.”
Jacqui and Andrew were among the first to move to Cedar Walk, and with two of their nearest neighbours also called Andrew, and more people moving in this New Year, they’re wondering if the quirky coincidence will continue.
Any Andrews looking for new homes – and property-seekers going by any other name – can choose from a selection of apartments and houses at Cedar Walk, including the ‘Lodmoor’ one-bedroom coach house apartment, priced from just £115,995 and with its own private front door and a car port.
The three-bedroom detached ‘Willow’ with single garage, and the four-bedroom ‘Ainsdale’ townhouse with car port and two parking spaces are each available from only £195,250, while the magnificent four-bedroom link-detached ‘Hawthorn’ with single garage is priced from £250,250.
Taylor Wimpey offers a wide range of special incentives for those with a property to sell, including its Part Exchange scheme, through which purchasers can rest easy in the knowledge that they have a guaranteed buyer for their existing home, no chain, and no estate agency fees to pay.
Meanwhile, Taylor Wimpey’s easymover programme enables customers to reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder helps to find a buyer for their current property in as little as six weeks, and pays their estate agency fees.
Full details of the homes available and incentives are available from the Sales Executive. Current incentives can be tailored to homebuyers’ circumstances and are subject to availability.
Nestled on the edge of Birstall village, Cedar Walk is an exclusive development of just 56 new homes at Hallam Fields, just a stone’s throw from beautiful open countryside and village amenities, yet within easy reach of the M1 motorway and only four miles from Leicester city centre via the A6.
Closer still are the shops and village amenities of Birstall, which include schools for children of all ages, and as the new Hallam Fields community grows, it will benefit from a new school, shops, offices and business units.
The City of Leicester is home to a huge range of high street and independent stores, alongside a wealth of cultural and leisure amenities. Fosse Park, a large retail development, is also within easy reach by road.
Further information on homes for sale in Birstall is available by visiting the Cedar Walk Sales Centre, located off Loughborough Road, Birstall, and open seven days a week, from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
