Move up the property ladder in Stoke-on-Trent

People looking for a bigger, better, brand new home in Stoke-on-Trent should head along to Water’s Edge in Hanley.
Four-bedroom ‘Trent’ style properties are now available at Water’s Edge, some of which are almost ready to move into. And with the offer of part-exchange, those with an existing property to sell could find that Redrow is willing to take if off their hands as part-payment for a brand new home.
Elaine Mounsey, sales manager for Redrow Homes (NW), explained: “Part exchange is designed to take the stress out of buying a house and help make moving up the property ladder as simple. straight forward and speedy as possible. With Redrow effectively acting as a cash buyer, there’s no need to worry about selling your old home or getting caught up in a complicated chain. We’ll even pay the agent’s fees at the end of the day.”
Available at £172,995, the ‘Trent’ is a spacious home set out over three floors.
On the ground floor there’s a combined kitchen, dining and family room that’s much more than somewhere to cook and eat; it’s an inviting space for families to gather and spend real quality time together. The separate lounge is on the first floor, along with two of the four bedrooms; while the remaining bedrooms, including master with en-suite, are on the top floor.
“Homes laid out over three floors add a degree of flexibility to your living arrangements. For example, if you don’t need all four bedrooms you may choose to adapt one as a playroom or home office. It’s about making your home work for you and not the other way round,” Elaine commented.
For those who want somewhere smaller, the development also offers a choice of stylish two-bedroom apartments.
All new Redrow homes feature fashionable kitchens with integrated top brand name appliances, plus tall units and extra wide drawers that offer plenty of storage; while sleek modern bathrooms and en-suites boast quality fixtures and fittings, with an exclusive tile range.
“It could cost up to £30,000 to bring an older three-bedroom property up to the same standard of one of our new homes,” Elaine added. “Our customers don’t have to worry about DIY or inheriting someone else’s decor, but will enjoy the peace of mind of a 10-year ‘Buildmark’ warranty. Plus because new build homes are designed to be energy efficient, with central heating and double glazing as standard they’re potentially cheaper to run than their second hand counterparts.”
Current availability at Water’s Edge includes a selection of properties with views over the waterway – a branch of the Trent & Mersey Canal – offering residents the opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle of modern living. It’s just a short journey from the centre of Hanley and is well placed for commuting with easy access to the M6.
