Taylor Wimpey is urging first-time buyers to find out more about the FirstBuy scheme, available now at the leading housebuilder’s Millers Keep development of new build homes in Stone Cross, near Eastbourne.
Aspiring homeowners in search of new homes in East Sussex will be able to step on the property ladder with ease at Taylor Wimpey’s new Millers Keep development of houses for sale in Stone Cross, Eastbourne – thanks to the fantastic FirstBuy initiative.
The leading local housebuilder currently has a variety of traditionally styled two and three-bedroom properties, along with a single two-bedroom apartment, on sale at the development of new build homes in East Sussex.
And a select number from this exclusive collection of 24 new homes for sale in Stone Cross are available under the Government’s FirstBuy scheme – bringing massive savings to first-time buyers in search of houses for sale in East Sussex.
With FirstBuy East Sussex, qualifying purchasers require only a 5% deposit and a 75% loan-to-value mortgage, with Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) providing a 20% loan which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage or when the property in Stone Cross is sold.
Fiona Creed, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “A limited selection of new homes in Stone Cross at Millers Keep are available through the FirstBuy scheme, which gives first-time buyers with total household earnings under £60,000 an easy route onto the property ladder.
“Demand for FirstBuy is bound to be incredibly high – so the message really is ‘Get in first, get in fast’ if you want to secure a stylish home at this impressive south coast development.”
Among the homes on sale now at Millers Keep is a charming two-bedroom semi detached home, priced from just £167,996 with FirstBuy, which can be secured with a deposit of just £10,499. Features include a spacious living/dining room with French doors to the rear garden, a contemporary kitchen and a handy guest cloakroom completing the ground floor.
Upstairs, the landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms, including an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom, and a main bathroom, plus a carport and allocated parking outside.
Alternatively, a two-bedroom coach house apartment is available from only £149,596 under FirstBuy.
Carefully planned within a peaceful cul-de-sac, Millers Keep sees a selection of mature trees and hedgerow complemented by new trees in a delightful green open space around an existing pond.
The development occupies the former site of Stone Cross Nursery in an established residential area of the village. Within a short walk is a local supermarket, a primary school, a pub and the village playground.
Regular bus services run from Stone Cross into Eastbourne, Hailsham, Polegate and Pevensey. The new homes lie between two railway stations, Pevensey and Westham, just over a mile to the east, and Polegate, two miles to the west, which both offer train services to Eastbourne, Brighton and London Victoria.
The elegant seaside town of Eastbourne is just four miles away. Nestling at the foot of the South Downs, the town boasts excellent lifestyle opportunities including two shopping centres, a range of individual seafront boutiques and the fashionable stores and restaurants of The Waterfront at Sovereign Harbour.
Those who enjoy an active lifestyle will appreciate the marina’s sailing facilities just minutes from the development, and a choice of nearby swimming pools and gyms.
