New homes in Surrey reach top of buyers’ wish list
Asprey Homes is pleased to announce the off plan launch of a unique development in Oxted, Surrey, which, according to research by Santander, has everything buyers want: plenty of space, superb transport links, sensitive and thoughtful design and an enviable location in one of the most coveted villages in Surrey.
All of these attributes were featured in the results of recent research by Santander which asked what buyers look for in a new home. The Santander findings show that 33% of buyers wish to live closer to work; 29% are looking for more space; 21% want good public transport links; and 18% would like a garage or parking space.
Beechwood Place, a collection of just six 3 and 4 bedroom houses arranged as two terraces, ticks all these boxes. It is close to Oxted Station from which rail journeys to London Bridge take just over 30 minutes. With up to 1,379 square feet of accommodation and a private garden, space is not an issue. Each property has the additional benefit of its own parking space.
Add to this an idyllic setting amidst the rolling landscape of the North Downs and the unexpected delight of a secluded communal space and Beechwood Place really can claim to offer property perfection. Buyers can see for themselves by making an appointment to view plans of the development, with build completion due for Spring 2012.
“Beechwood Place sits firmly in Asprey Homes’ tradition of combining superb quality, beautiful design and a carefully chosen location to provide the last word in gracious living,” says Helen Jackson, Sales and Marketing Manager of Asprey Homes.
Helen continues: “We are delighted to be able to offer such a select collection of homes in Oxted, with such a desirable address and anticipate keen interest from buyers who are looking for superb local schools, an exquisite rural location and all the convenience of a classic and thriving country town. We anticipate high interest in the development and expect the homes to be secured off plan.”
Beechwood Place has been designed to reflect the traditional architecture of this pretty corner of Surrey. The two terraces, each comprising three houses, are built in an attractive blend of mellow brickwork and fresh white boarding, with steep gables and generous bay windows adding a touch of grandeur.
Inside, the four 3 bedroom houses have a downstairs cloakroom, a family bathroom and an en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom. The two 4 bedroom houses have the added benefit of an attached garage. Each property has a generous back garden with its own gate leading into the ‘secret’ communal garden, which provides the perfect setting for neighbourly gatherings.
True to Asprey Homes’ customary attention to quality and detail, the interiors include a Paula Rosa kitchen complete with a stone worktop, double oven, five-ring hob and integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine; oak-veneer doors; coving in the principal rooms; and fitted wardrobes to the master bedroom. Sky+ wiring, a satellite dish and a TV aerial are all provided, as are mains-operated smoke alarms and a security alarm system with room sensors and a panic button in the master bedroom.
In addition to Oxted’s great rail services, which whisk commuters to London Bridge in 34 minutes or London Victoria in around 40 minutes, junction 6 of the M25 is close by, providing fast access to Gatwick Airport, about 15 miles away, and Heathrow Airport, approximately 40 miles away. Oxted is the perfect place for family living. Its picturesque high street, lined with Tudor-style, half-timbered buildings, offers an enticing array of shops and eateries, including a Waitrose supermarket. A wealth of leisure facilities include; a cinema, a library, a leisure complex and the picturesque Barn Theatre, just down the lane from Beechwood Place. Plus with a good choice of excellent state and private schools catering for all age groups, Oxted really is the place to put down roots.
