Time running out to buy unique properties in Telford
Bespoke barn conversion-style homes are almost sold out at Taylor Wimpey’s popular The Barns at Oakham Manor development of property for sale in Telford, Shropshire.
Just two chances remain for discerning Shropshire property-seekers to secure a beautiful new-build barn conversion-style property at Taylor Wimpey’s exclusive The Barns at Oakham Manor development of new homes in Telford.
This unique collection of houses for sale in Telford is inspired by the careful re-imagining of a farmhouse and barns which occupied the site in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and has attracted a great deal of interest from buyers.
With only the delightful two-bedroom ‘Foxglove Cottage’ and charming one-bedroom ‘Laburnum Cottage’ property in Telford now remaining for sale, anyone hoping to find their dream home in this historic location should act without delay to avoid missing out.
Carl Cooke, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “This is a rare and wonderful opportunity for home-hunters who appreciate the heritage of their home to enjoy the benefits and convenience of a stunning new-build property to buy in Telford.
“It’s no surprise these exquisite cottages for sale in Telford, steeped in rural history, have proved so popular with buyers – and we don’t expect the final two plots to be available for long.”
The stylish one-bedroom ‘Laburnum Cottage’ is available with the leading housebuilder’s amazing easystart shared equity initiative, which means one lucky qualifying first-time buyer can secure this plot for just 85% of the price – that’s only £114,750.
With easystart, all the purchaser requires is a deposit of as little as 5% – that’s just £6,750, subject to status – and Taylor Wimpey will provide an interest-free equity loan of 15%, repayable over ten years in up to three instalments at the market value of the property when payments are made.
‘Laburnum Cottage’ features a bright and airy living room leading to a contemporary breakfast kitchen, with a spacious master bedroom enjoying en-suite access to the main bathroom. Outside, the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces.
The beautiful two-bedroom ‘Foxglove Cottage’ with garage is priced at just £199,995 and within this home, a central entrance hallway leads to the impressive living room, which opens through French doors to the garden. The spacious kitchen, to the other side of the hall, boasts a handy utility room, while the guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the landing leads to the master bedroom, with en-suite shower room, a comfortable guest bedroom and main bathroom.
Each of the homes at The Barns at Oakham Manor blends traditional architecture with striking contemporary styling and is completed to a high standard specification including double glazing, central heating and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
All the new homes, which form part of the new Lightmoor Village community, are fitted with eco-features as standard including high levels of loft insulation, water-saving devices and A-rated appliances.
A new 210-place primary school opened at Lightmoor in September 2010 and includes a multi-use games area for a range of sports and outdoor activities.
Facilities within the school building are of benefit the wider community, including meeting rooms, a hall, indoor sports and recreation areas and changing rooms. Long-term stewardship of the whole development will be secured by a specially convened Village Trust.
Lightmoor Village nestles in beautiful landscape between Telford and Coalbrook Dale and benefits from over 50 acres of open landscaped areas for leisure, sport and recreational use.
The community will also be well-served by existing and new public transport links, with a bus service to Telford town centre where a wider range of shops and schools for children of all ages can be found.
