Beautiful new homes in Essex are selling fast
Taylor Wimpey is urging Essex property-seekers to grab one of the final homes at Fisherman’s Cottages, part of the Cook’s Shipyard development of new homes in Wivenhoe, Colchester, while they still can.
Discerning home-hunters are being offered a fabulous opportunity to snap up one of the last few homes at Fishermen’s Cottages, the latest phase of Taylor Wimpey’s Cook’s Shipyard development of property for sale in Essex.
This prestigious collection of luxury houses for sale in Wivenhoe, Colchester, and highly desirable waterfront Essex apartments offers a superb lifestyle for a range of buyers – from first-time buyers and down-sizers to executive couples, growing families and those who want to work from home.
First-time buyers in search of the ideal opportunity to purchase their first property in Essex can secure a stylish one-bedroom ‘Wier’ coach house apartment at Fishermen’s Cottages for just £135,995* with the leading housebuilder’s amazing Easy Start shared equity initiative.
Meanwhile, the stamp duty is paid on the last four-bedroom ‘Hull’ townhouse, priced at only £324,995, which boasts generous accommodation across three-storeys, perfect for those in search of flexible family-size houses for sale in Essex.
Alternatively, the three-bedroom ‘Taper’ property in Wivenhoe, combining spacious living accommodation with a separate business space, is currently available at just £249,995.
Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Clued-up buyers have flocked to Cook’s Shipyard, proving there simply is no substitute for high-quality homes in a desirable location at exceptional-value prices.
“Anyone still harbouring hopes of staking their claim in this sought-after development will have to be quick – before someone else beats them to it!”
Under Easy Start, all the qualifying purchaser requires is a deposit for as little as 5%, subject to status, and a mortgage for 80% of the full purchase price.
Taylor Wimpey will then provide 15% equity in the form of an interest-free, 10-year loan repayable in up to three instalments at the market value of the property when payments are made.
The stylish ‘Wier’ coach house apartment features an open-plan living/dining room with contemporary fitted kitchen, flooded with natural light from windows on three sides. The master bedroom, including fitted wardrobes, and main bathroom are located off the hallway, while downstairs, the property benefits from a single garage.
The picturesque waterfront setting of Cook’s Shipyard offers the opportunity to relax and watch fishing boats and yachts pass by, while quaint, narrow lanes lead to a host of smart restaurants, bars and cafés, plus an enchanting range of independent shops, bakeries and boutiques selling fine foods, clothing, gifts and beautiful homeware.
For those seeking an even wider selection of leisure pursuits, the vibrant and cultural town of Colchester is just five miles away, where an excellent array of shops and entertainment for all ages can be found, day and night.
The new homes at Cook’s Shipyard are designed to be in harmony with Wivenhoe’s traditional, maritime architecture, and feature a pleasing blend of pastel weatherboard, soft red brickwork and Trespa panelling, while inside, each apartment demonstrates exceptional use of space and light.
Taylor Wimpey’s new homes are part of the visionary regeneration of the former docklands at Wivenhoe, which will also offer places of work and leisure opportunities set around the water’s edge.
The Cook’s Shipyard Sales Centre and showhome are located off Anglesea Road, Wivenhoe, and opens Thursday to Monday from 10am until 5.30pm.
* Based on full £159,995 purchase price. Easy Start shared equity is available on selected properties only. Full details, including terms and conditions, are available from the Sales Executive.
