What do you want from your new home? Is finding a fantastic location your prime concern, is having a modern, spacious house the top of your list, or is value for money the key to your new home?

How about if you could have all of those? Bloor Homes’ Folly Park View development in Faringdon provided their dream home, in a perfect setting and at an affordable price, according to new purchasers Kim Livesey and Tom Kidd.

They bought their first home together – a two-bedroom Highgate style property –after six years living with Tom’s mother in Abingdon. The couple were becoming more and more despondent as Kim explained: “The high property prices in Oxfordshire and the level of deposit required by mortgage lenders were making it impossible for us to afford a home of our own. We visited Folly Park View and were really impressed with the development as a whole but at the time there were no homes available within our price range.

“We carried on looking at other properties, probably around 40 in all, but nothing compared to Folly Park View so when we got a call about six months later to let us know that more two-bedroom houses had become available, we were over the moon. We were so pleased that they had remembered us and had taken the time to get in touch to see if we were still looking for a home, that we quickly returned to the development and bought our home.”

The couple said they were surprised at just what they got for their money. Kim continued: “We’ve got two good sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and an ensuite, not to mention a garden, two parking spaces and quality fixtures and fittings throughout. We’d have got far less if we’d purchased a home in Abingdon and the location here is superb. We really couldn’t have asked for more. We love our new home.”

Currently available at Folly Park View are a range of three and four bedroom houses. Prices start from £224.950 and if you need to sell an existing home before purchasing, Bloor Homes might be able to buy your house under their full value part exchange scheme.

Folly Park View is conveniently situated close to the A420, which is ideal for those who work in nearby Oxford and Swindon, with Faringdon’s charming and historic town centre less than a mile away.
