Airfield views for next stage of RAE redevlopment in Farnborough

The latest phase of contemporary apartments being built on part of the former site of the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough will afford residents views over the historic airfield.

Award-winning housebuilder Redrow is continuing at pace with its Farnborough Central project, which is changing the face of the town centre site.

A new block of apartments, named Vulcan House, has just gone on sale at the development and overlooks the open space of the airfield. As an added attraction for buyers, they will also be the first properties to be made available through the Government-back FirstBuy scheme. This provides first time buyers with an equity loan for 20% of the purchase price, enabling them to buy a new apartment with just a 4% deposit and a 76% mortgage.

Helen McGill, areas sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), said: “Thanks to their superb positioning on the development and fantastic outlook over this historic site, this new release of apartments is sure to prove extremely popular. Add FirstBuy to the equation and these apartments become a very attractive prospect for first time buyers.

“With a setting steeped in aviation heritage and close to the heart of the town, our apartments are perfect for people looking for their first home or downsizers looking for a property with a difference.”

Vulcan house will be a brand new-build apartment block, but they are being built alongside some unique historic buildings that have been converted into apartments.

The new one and two-bedroom apartments in Vulcan House are priced from £150,950.

Each new home is fitted out with Redrow’s high interior specification, including contemporary kitchens, with floor to ceiling units and top name appliances, and sleek bathroom suites. They also have all the benefits associated with being brand new including easy maintenance, energy efficiency and no need for costly repairs or renovation.

The new homes at Farnborough Central are conveniently situated next to IQ Farnborough, a vibrant business park with offices, a café, crèche, heritage centre and a recently-opened four-star hotel and leisure complex.

With journey times from Farnborough mainline station to London Waterloo of less than 45 minutes, it’s the ideal place for commuters to call home.
