Homebuyers urged to see spacious houses in Bedford

A range of stunning properties for sale in Wixams, near Bedford, are available now at Taylor Wimpey’s Westlow Abbey collection.
Property-seekers looking for a spacious family-size home with incredible views are being urged to discover the ‘Shackleton’ at Westlow Abbey, Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after development of new homes in Wixams.
Two of these exceptional four-bedroom detached houses at the leafy community of new properties in Bedfordshire boast stunning views across green open space towards a picturesque lake, and are available to buy for the great-value price of £250,000.
And there’s another great reason to move quick and choose from these beautiful new build homes in Wixams, because Plots 75 and 79 also include free carpets throughout and integrated kitchen appliances.
Steve Rolt, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “When it comes to location, these fabulous family-sized Bedfordshire homes enjoy a sought-after spot that’s hard to beat.
“Both have an enviable position next to the wide open spaces of a recreation ground, and just yards from the banks of the tranquil Dane Lane Lake.
“Homes in such a great position rarely come onto the market, so anyone keen to find their dream house should hurry along to Westlow Abbey so they don’t miss out!”
An ideal family home, the ‘Shackleton’ benefits from a spacious lounge opening through French doors to the private rear garden, a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, separate dining room and a handy guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the landing leads to an en-suite master bedroom, three further bedrooms and a main bathroom.
The ‘Shackleton’ is just one of a number of new homes currently available to reserve at Westlow Abbey, with two-bedroom apartments priced from only £150,000, three-bedroom designs from as little as £205,000 and five-bedroom houses from just £295,000.
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.
