Mayor launches Northamptonshire property development
Property-seekers can now take their pick from a brand new selection of Northamptonshire homes following the official opening of Taylor Wimpey’s Paddock Fields development of houses for sale in Gretton.
Gretton has become a hot destination for style-hungry house-hunters with the official unveiling of Taylor Wimpey’s brand new Paddock Fields village development of property for sale in Northamptonshire.
The Mayor of Corby, Cllr Ann Brown, cut the ribbon to the Sales Centre and showhome at the leading housebuilder’s community of two, three and four-bedroom new homes in Gretton on Saturday morning (12th February).
Kelly French, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “It was a real honour to have The Mayor officially open the development, and we were delighted to welcome so many house-hunters to Paddock Fields over the launch weekend of this superb collection of property for sale in Gretton, near Corby.
“These new Northamptonshire properties are already proving very popular, and we’ve received lots of enquiries from buyers seeking a spacious maintenance-free home in a tranquil rural location.”
Cllr Brown was joined by Taylor Wimpey East Midlands Managing Director, Steve Farmer, and Paddock Fields Sales Executives Lynda Cartwright and Linda Smith for the unveiling of the four-bedroom ‘Thornford’ show property in Gretton.
The interior of the showhome has been designed to appeal to growing families in search of a stylish and comfortable lifestyle. It has been decorated and styled with exquisite furnishings, fittings and finishing touches, with a calming colour scheme of tranquil creams and whites, complemented by elegant touches of beige and gold.
Priced from just £289,995, this impressive double-fronted property type features a large contemporary kitchen, a separate lounge and a dining room, both opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a good-sized study/play room and a handy guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the landing leads to the master bedroom with en-suite shower facilities, as well as three further double bedrooms and a main bathroom, while outside there is a private driveway leading to a garage.
Alternative four-bedroom designs available at Paddock Fields include the stone-built ‘Kempsford’ priced from only £224,995, the ‘Caldecott’, from just £242,995, the ‘Bembridge’ from £249,995, the ‘Shelford’ from as little as £265,995, the ‘Henham’ from £269,995, through to the impressive ‘Harringworth’ with double garage from £327,995.
In time, a selection of stylish two-bedroom apartments and starter homes and three-bedroom houses will be released for sale at the development.
All new homes at Paddock Fields are being completed to a high standard specification, while those choosing their plot early can add their own ‘showhouse-style’ finishing touches from Taylor Wimpey’s interior Options range, including flooring, tiling, lighting, kitchen units, worktops and integrated appliances.
For those with a property to sell, 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, and pays their estate agency fees.
Gretton is a picturesque village which benefits from a host of traditional amenities including a village school, a pre-school group, a post office and general stores as well as three pubs and a coffee shop on the village green.
The village boasts a thriving social scene and benefits from a community hall which hosts music and theatre events plus the village’s many clubs. Sporting facilities are available for cricket, bowls and football, while the recreation ground has play equipment for children of all ages, as well as blading, skateboarding and a BMX track.
For shopping, a wide choice of big-name stores are available in Corby, where the town centre, just five miles to the south of the new homes, has benefited from a major regeneration scheme. Meanwhile, the historic Rutland town of Uppingham – home of the famous public school – is five miles to the north and offers a weekly market and a charming selection of boutiques and independent shops.
Commuters will appreciate the new homes occupy an excellent location, with the A14 and A1 both within easy reach, while regular services from Corby railway station reach London St Pancras in around 75 minutes.
House-hunters can visit the new ‘Thornford’ showhome, located next to the Taylor Wimpey Sales Centre at Paddock Fields, Corby Road, Gretton, between 10.30am and 5.30pm seven days a week.
