Country park will complement new homes in Bedford

Volunteers have been helping to put down roots for a stunning new country park by planting hundreds of trees at Taylor Wimpey’s Woodlands Park development of property for sale in Bedford.
Dozens of volunteers turned up to plant trees for a beautiful new country park at Taylor Wimpey’s Woodlands Park development of houses for sale in Bedford – and discovered more about putting down roots in this exciting new community!
The event, which was a joint initiative between housing association bpha, Bedford Borough Council and Taylor Wimpey, attracted more than 200 residents and resulted in more than 500 new trees being planted at the development of Bedford property in Brickhill.
And as well as taking up tools to help and enjoying free hot food and drinks laid on by the housebuilder, visitors took the opportunity to look around Taylor Wimpey’s showhomes and find out about the superb Bedford properties available to reserve now.
A star attraction among the homebuyer offers currently up for grabs at the Woodlands Park development of houses in Bedford is the three-bedroom ‘Eleanor’ detached property, available from just £200,000* with Taylor Wimpey’s Easy Start shared equity initiative.
Steve Rolt, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “It is really exciting to be involved in the creation of a wonderful new country park at Woodlands Park, and we are delighted by the enthusiastic support people have shown for this community initiative.
“The new area of woodland will bring superb lifestyle opportunities for residents to enjoy for years to come.
“With such a beautiful natural area right on the doorstep of these high-quality homes, there’s little wonder that Woodlands Park is proving so popular, and we would urge anyone hoping to own their dream home here to act without delay to avoid missing out!”
The ‘Eleanor’ is an ideal first home for couples, individuals or families, and features a magnificent L-shaped open-plan living/dining room at its heart, opening through French doors to the private rear garden. A separate fitted kitchen, a guest cloakroom and a handy under-stairs storage closet are also located off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the landing leads to the master bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a main bathroom, while outside, the property benefits from a garage and parking.
Under the Easy Start shared equity scheme, the ‘Eleanor’ can be purchased by qualifying first-time buyers for just 85% of the full price – that’s just £200,000.
A deposit of only 5% of the full purchase price may be all that’s required, subject to status, and Taylor Wimpey provides 15% equity as an interest-free loan, repayable over 10 years at the market value of the property.
