Crest Nicholson Launches In Hampshire, Leicestershire And Staffordshire 

Crest Nicholson has launched new homes developments that will appeal to house-hunters looking to replace city life with something at a quieter pace of life and close to nature, but with great connections and amenities on the doorstep.

Bishop’s Waltham, Hampshire

The small market town of Bishop’s Waltham is well under half-an-hour from Southampton, Portsmouth and Winchester but also on the edge of the beautiful South Downs. Tangier Gardens comprises 38 three- and four-bedroom houses which will be ready to move into by October 2020.

The homes are traditional in design, blending seamlessly into the village surroundings and the modern interiors are fitted with stylish, high-quality appliances. Selected homes will be available for purchase through the government’s Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme, or Crest Nicholson’s Part Exchange and SmoothMove schemes. Prices currently start from £564,950 for a four-bedroom home.

Eileen Guihen, head of sales and marketing at Crest Nicholson South, commented: “We are thrilled to have just launched our latest development, Tangier Gardens, in the delightful town of Bishop’s Waltham. The homes are ideal for a variety of buyers and will especially appeal to growing families looking for a peaceful village community. Bishop’s Waltham is a charming place, offering the tight-knit community of a village, while still providing a range of amenities close by.”

Kegworth, Leicestershire

The village of Kegworth is in the middle of a triangle connecting Leicester, Nottingham and Derby, and a development called Kegworth Gate has just been launched there. In all, there will be 179 homes here, with three- and hour-bedroom houses to appeal to young professionals, growing families and downsizers alike. A whole range of shops and amenities – as well as the countryside – are easily reached from home here. For a first-hand look by appointment only, there’s a professionally designed four-bedroom show home, an ‘Avon’ house type, which features the open-plan kitchens and spacious living rooms that are a common feature in Kegworth Gate.

Vanessa MacNee, sales and marketing director at Crest Nicholson Midlands, commented: “Kegworth is a charming village with plenty of amenities to offer, so we expect the development to be popular with families attracted by the idea of a village lifestyle. Our show home offers a great chance for potential buyers to get a feel for the properties.”

Alrewas, Staffordshire

A convenient commute to the likes of Birmingham, Burton upon Trent and Stafford, there’s a new collection of village homes underway at Green Acres in Alrewas. Just unveiled to house-hunters are the first of 84 traditional two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes, starting at £280,000 for a two-bedroom, semi-detached ‘Aston’. Those looking to get a feel for the properties will be able to visit ‘The Calder’, a four-bedroom show home with a kitchen, separate dining room and a study in which to accommodate a home office. Alrewas is set within a conservation area next to the River Trent.

“This is a great time for first-time buyers to get their foot on the property ladder, with mortgage rates at a historical low,” said Dean Jacobs, director at Allegro Mortgages. “Buying a first home can be a daunting process, but a number of schemes and incentives are available to ease some of the difficulties. The government offers the Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme, allowing first time buyers to secure a mortgage with just a 5% deposit.”
