Taylor Wimpey’s easystart shared equity scheme helps first-time buyers on to the property ladder at Westlow Abbey, the leading housebuilder’s popular development of houses for sale in Wixams, Bedfordshire.

Aspiring homeowners seeking a family-sized property in Bedfordshire are being urged to grab an amazing opportunity to own a three-bedroom ‘Gosford’ house at Taylor Wimpey’s Westlow Abbey development of new homes in Wixams – from just £170,000*!

That’s because the leading housebuilder’s superb easystart shared equity scheme is available for qualifying first-time buyers with this delightful semi-detached Wixams property for sale.

Subject to status, all the lucky purchaser needs is a deposit of as little as 5% – that’s only £10,000 – and Taylor Wimpey will provide an interest-free equity loan of 15%, repayable in up to three instalments over a ten-year period, at the market value of the property in Wixams when payments are made.

The easystart initiative is the perfect solution for first-time buyers in search of houses for sale in Bedfordshire who would otherwise struggle to raise enough money for a deposit on their first home.

Steve Rolt, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “There’s something for everyone at Westlow Abbey, from first-time buyers and downsizers to growing families and professional couples in search of houses to buy in Wixams and property for sale in Bedfordshire.

“Our fabulous easystart scheme makes it easy for first-time buyers to step onto the property ladder and makes buying their own home a reality. Alternatively, for those looking for something a little more expansive, there’s a fabulous selection of four and six-bedroom detached houses to choose from.

“However, property-seekers hoping to secure their dream home at Westlow Abbey should act quickly as this superb collection is proving incredibly popular.”

The ‘Gosford’ features a spacious living/dining room which opens through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a contemporary fitted kitchen and a handy guest cloakroom located off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to the master bedroom with en-suite shower room, plus two further bedrooms, one of which could alternatively be used as a study, and a main bathroom. Outside, the property benefits from two parking spaces.

Westlow Abbey is part of Lakeview, the first of four villages which will make up the self-contained, sustainable town of Wixams, three miles south-west of Bedford.

Designs for the new community draw on the best traditions of Bedfordshire’s market towns and homes will benefit from new shops, community and leisure facilities, schools and employment areas, in addition to 300 acres of sports pitches, parklands and green open space. Each of the four villages will have its own centre, play and landscaped areas, and each will be within easy reach of Wixams town centre.

A new transport network puts bus stops within comfortable walking distance of the homes, a new railway station will provide quick links to London and nearby towns and cities, and an extensive network of cycleways and paths will make getting around a breeze.

Beyond the town boundaries, the re-aligned A6 and the A421 Bedford southern bypass put the region’s major commuter routes, including the M1 and A1, within easy reach, while those travelling further afield will appreciate that Luton Airport is just 15 miles away.

For days out, Wixams lies amid beautiful countryside and close to a wide range of established visitor attractions, including Woburn Safari Park and Wild Britain, Gulliver’s Land theme park and the Millennium Country Park in the Forest of Marston Vale.

To find out more about easystart at Westlow Abbey, property-seekers can visit the Sales Centre, located at 141 Bedford Road, Wixams, MK45 3HS, and open seven days a week from 10am to 5pm, Tuesday to Sunday, and from 1.30pm to 5pm on Mondays.
