Farmhouse Apartments

Are you a first time buyer looking to get your foot on the property ladder but don’t know where to start? Then why not head down to Taylor Wimpey’s Saddlers Rise development in Swindon where the fabulous new Farmhouse apartments are now available with the Government backed FirstBuy scheme.

The stunning two bedroom farmhouse apartments are the perfect choice for first time buyers looking to settle down in Swindon. With prices starting from just £90,000 using the FirstBuy scheme, they make an ideal first home.

The apartments have an open plan lounge and kitchen and a handy storage cupboard. There is a master bedroom with the option of an ensuite and a further double bedroom, both of which have spacious built in wardrobes and a family bathroom. Each apartment comes with allocated parking.

Darren McCormack, regional sales and marketing manager for Taylor Wimpey, commented: “We have received a lot of interest in our Farmhouse apartments especially from first time buyers eager to take advantage of our FirstBuy scheme. We don’t expect these apartments to stay on the market for long so I encourage anyone interested in getting their foot on the property ladder this year to visit Saddlers Rise to avoid disappointment.

“We understand that buying your first property can be a daunting experience, however our experienced sales team are on hand to answer any questions and help you every step of the way.”

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Taylor Wimpey, which means that eligible purchasers only need put down a 5% deposit and obtain a 75% loan-to-value mortgage. The loan is repayable at the end of the 25 year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, purchasers must be first time buyers and the total household earning should be less than £60,000.

Saddlers Rise is well positioned for good access to a range of amenities. It is less than five miles from Swindon town centre which offers a vibrant night life and shopping scene. For sport lovers there's the Link Centre with its ice rink, pool and climbing wall, the Oasis Leisure Centre offering a wide range of activities and even an outdoor pool at Highworth Recreation Centre.

The development is ideally placed for commuters as Swindon station offers regular direct services to Bristol and London Paddington and the M4 is just five miles away.
