Ditch the DIY and relax in a new Redrow home in Bracknell
Few people have got the time to spend bringing an older property up to the same standards as a brand new home – that’s why in a new Redrow home everything has been done for you.
There’s no need to waste your days doing costly DIY or living in half your house while your renovate the other half; you could move into a brand new home and put your feet up straight away.
And with Redrow’s New Heritage Collection homes available at Windsor Park and Balmoral Gardens, both part of the wider Jennett’s Park development in Bracknell, you’ll still be getting a traditional looking home with enough ‘character’ features to reassure those worried about the very ‘newness’ of a new home. The sleek, modern, easy to maintain interiors are all ‘wrapped up’ in Arts & Crafts inspired exteriors.
Helen McGill, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), said: “Our New Heritage Collection has been designed to combine the best of old and new with lots of external features more typical of period-style homes. Our homes look traditional from the outside, but venture inside and you’ll find convivial open-plan living spaces, stylish, well-planned kitchens, with a host of top name appliances, contemporary bathroom suites and other high quality fixtures and fittings.
“DIY will be the last thing on your mind as you relax in the luxurious surroundings of your new home.”
Research by Redrow has also found many people vastly under-estimate how much it would cost to bring an older second hand home up to the same standard as a new home.
Helen added: “People often buy an old house to ‘fix up’ because they think they can’t afford a brand new one, but our research show it could be a false economy. We’ve calculated that installing a new kitchen and bathrooms, redecorating throughout, installing a new heating system, replacing windows and other items in a typical three-bedroom home could easily add up to £30,000.”
A brand new Redrow home is also up to 40% more efficient than one built only 10 years ago, so potentially cheaper to run over time; it includes integrated appliances covered by manufacturers’ two-year guarantees; and comes with an NHBC 10-year ‘Buildmark’ warranty.
There is just one stylish property remaining for sale at Windsor Park. The final four-bedroom detached Ruthin is priced at £349,950.
Redrow‘s most recent phase at Jennett’s Park is called Balmoral Gardens, which has three and four-bedroom homes available, priced from £269,950.
There’s a real community feel to the development. A new primary school has just opened on site and plans for the wider site include a country park of 91 acres and 10 play areas. Approximately half of the venture is set aside for open space, retained woodland and recreational areas.
Just five minutes from Bracknell and 20 minutes from Reading, the location near to the A329 Berkshire Way also provides easy access to the M3 and M4 – perfect for commuters. Direct trains from Bracknell to London Waterloo take around an hour.
