Sends of space for buyers at Sandpipers with the Maidstone

Buyers in the region now have the chance to live a coastal lifestyle in an impressive new home without breaking the bank – thanks to Barratt at Sandpipers.

The new development is offering the sought-after Maidstone house design, giving families some much needed space, with the added bonus of a larger than average garden.

“Families will love this house and garden because it really is a blank canvas just waiting to become a beautiful family home,” said Barratt sales manager, Mary Daymond. “It offers bags of space, inside and out. There is a good-sized garden and an attractive price tag – particularly for first time buyers.

“We are very aware of the problems some buyers experience when trying to secure the finances for their first home. It can be very frustrating when you discover somewhere perfect, only to find it’s just out of reach. And that is where we can help with our newly launched FirstBuy scheme.”

Under FirstBuy, buyers will be offered a loan of up to 20 per cent of the price of the property, jointly funded by Barratt and the Government’s Homes and Communities Agency.

The buyers then only have to find the remaining 80 per cent of the price themselves with the mortgage and deposit.

“In practice, this means anyone buying a home from Barratt under the scheme would potentially be able to get on the housing ladder for less than they may imagine” said Mary. “This particular Maidstone home can be bought for just £172,000 with a £8,880 deposit under FirstBuy.”

The three bedroom Maidstone house includes all the features buyers expect from a quality home. A well-proportioned, open plan, lounge leads to an attractive kitchen with a dining area. And french doors lead to the good-sized rear garden.

There is a useful downstairs cloakroom, the master bedroom features an en suite facility and the family bathroom boasts a smart colour-coordinated suite.

Sandpipers is situated on the south coast of Devon – close to the renowned Dawlish Warren beach. It is close to the rural surroundings of Powderham Castle and Woodlands and there is a strong sense of community in the area. There are thriving sports clubs nearby as well as the town’s annual fairs and carnival. Commuters will find easy access to local towns and cities – with Exeter just 12 miles away.
