A dream lifestyle on the water's edge at Wichelstowe

Homebuyers looking to realise the dream of waterfront living are in for a real treat when they visit Wichelstowe in Swindon where new homes are set to be launched this weekend.

Barratt is launching its latest phase at the exciting development on Saturday April 2, and six of the outstanding new homes overlook the canal.

“This really is the perfect chance for buyers to realise the dream of a fantastic new home next to the water,” said Barratt sales director, Andrea Pilgrim.

“Wichelstowe is fast becoming one of the area’s most sought-after developments – and this new phase will appeal to buyers looking for something a little bit different.”

The development is located on the southern side of Swindon and offers a superb selection of one, two, three and four bedroom homes. Some have good views – and the promise of a life next to the canal is attracting a great deal of interest in the latest release of homes.

At the launch on Saturday prospective buyers can tour the new homes, enjoy a BBQ and learn more about how the canal shape the success of Swindon thanks to experts from the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust.

Current availability includes the two bedroom Melbury apartment priced at £125,995, the two becroom Colliford coachhouse, priced from £129,995; and the two bedroom Abberton house from £144,995.

Buyers have a range of three bedroom homes to choose from – including the Ashworth design, from just £181,995. And four bedroom homes on offer include the spacious Netherton, priced from £244,995.

“Buyers looking to settle in Swindon are heading to Wichelstowe – and this is no surprise to me,” said Andrea. “Its location is a huge draw – and these new homes by the canal will only increase the interest we are getting from those wishing to move to the area. This is a new community right on the edge of the town and it offers the best of both worlds.

“The convenience of shops, schools and all other local amenities, combined with the knowledge that the beautiful countryside of Wiltshire is right on the doorstep.”

Ideally located for local transport links, Wichelstowe is close to junction 15 of the M4 and the area has easy access to Bath, Bristol, Reading and London.
