New Barratt home with a difference in Sunderland
A new home with a difference is proving popular with first-time buyers at Barratt North East’s Castle View development in Sunderland.
The “Amber” offers the appealing features of a house, with living spaces arranged over two floors and your own front door, but comes at a similar price to an apartment.
The stylish 2-bedroom home is part of the housebuilder’s new Aspirations Range. These latest designs have contemporary interiors to suit modern lifestyles and offer outstanding value for money.
The “Amber” provides 566 sq ft of living space and features an entrance hall with cloakroom and a spacious, open-plan living room with dining area and stylish fitted kitchen.
On the first floor is a good-sized double bedroom, a second single bedroom and colour co-ordinated bathroom, plus useful storage space.
Barratt is offering its Head Start low-cost purchase scheme at Castle View, enabling first-time buyers and key workers to move in for just 85 per cent of the price
This brings the move-in price down of the Amber down from £109,995 to £93,495. Buyers would need a 5 per cent deposit of just £5,500 and only an 80 per cent mortgage, which means repayments could be as low as £106.42 per week*.
With Head Start the remaining 15 per cent of the price is covered by an interest-free loan from Barratt for up to ten years.
And for a limited period only, the “Amber” comes with a furniture pack included in the price.
Fenton Hewitt, Sales Director at Barratt North East, said: “We’re finding an increasing demand for houses rather than apartments and our new Aspirations Range designs are attracting a lot of interest.
“They offer contemporary, easy to maintain living spaces and represent excellent value for money.
“And unlike apartments, there are no management charges to worry about once you’ve moved in.
“They are an ideal opportunity for first time buyers to make the move into home ownership without overstretching their budget.”
All Aspirations Range homes feature energy-efficient central heating, double glazing and high standards of insulation, and are backed by the NHBC Buildmark 10 year warranty.
Kitchens come complete with oven, hob and hood and for added peace of mind buyers also benefit from the exclusive Barratt five year guarantee on fixtures and fittings.
Castle View comprises just 25 two and three-bedroom homes in a convenient location on Coleridge Road, with a wide range of amenities close by, plus excellent transport links and easy access to the A19.
The showhome and sales centre are open from 10.00am to 5.00pm, Thursday to Sunday, and from 11.00am to 6.00pm on Monday.
*Figure based on a £87,995 tracker rate mortgage, over a 30-year term, with an initial rate of 4.79 per cent fixed for three years.
