One quick-off-the-mark househunter has a wonderful opportunity to own a ready-made home at Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after Highfields development of houses for sale in St Albans, where a beautiful showhome has gone on sale.
The spacious four-bedroom ‘Oaklands’ showhouse offers one lucky purchaser a brand new property for sale in St Albans that has been exquisitely decorated and styled by professional interior designers.
Featuring classic neutral shades to maximise light and space throughout, the double fronted detached property in St Albans is priced at just £599,950.
The ‘Oaklands’ showhome at the development of houses in St Albans boasts a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with light wood units and stunning black granite worktops and opens through French doors to the private rear garden. A welcoming reception room and a separate dining room – both featuring attractive bay windows to the front – complete the ground floor, alongside a handy guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the landing leads to the master bedroom with en-suite shower room, a main bathroom and three further bedrooms.
The ‘Oaklands’ showhome comes complete with fixtures and fittings, including carpets and flooring throughout, curtains and blinds.
Outside, this family-sized home boasts a low-maintenance landscaped garden with attractive planted borders and lawned area, and a double car port.
Tony Woodman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Highfields is an exceptionally popular development, and 75% of homes have been reserved.
“We are now releasing the amazing showhome for sale, and would urge anyone hoping to secure this outstanding property to contact us without delay, as we don’t expect it to be available for long!”
Selected homes at Highfields are available with Taylor Wimpey’s popular Part Exchange scheme, through which the leading housebuilder offers the current market value of the purchaser’s existing property, based on the average of independent valuations. With a guaranteed buyer, the customer can relax in their own home until their new place is ready without the worry of their side of the property chain collapsing. Full details and terms and conditions can be obtained from the Sales Executive.
Highfields is a stunning development of just 34 homes in a scenic location overlooking fields on the outskirts of St Albans. The city boasts a wealth of shops, bars and restaurants, schools for children of all ages and leisure facilities.
Commuters will appreciate that Highfields is situated just over a mile from St Albans railway station with regular trains to London St Pancras in just 20 minutes. As well as excellent rail links, the development is close to major roads such as the M1, M25 and the A1 – making any journey by car a simple one.
Famed for its cathedral and Roman history, St Albans has a thriving cultural life with numerous arts venues including The Alban Arena, Abbey Theatre and the Albans Art Theatre. The museum of everyday life in Roman Britain, the Verulamium Museum, features magnificent mosaics and recreated rooms.
The area offers a wealth of villages, good pubs, beautiful walks, historic churches and family attractions such as Shaw’s Corner and the de Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre nearby. A little further afield is Hatfield House, a stunning Jacobean house steeped in royal history, within an extensive park.
