New Shared Ownership Homes To Be Offered In Wixams
L&Q will be releasing a limited collection of two- and three-bedroom homes on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 January at Willow Grove, Wixams, available through Shared Ownership.
This popular development is at the top of the list for many looking to get onto the property ladder. Previous launches at Willow Grove have received great interest first-time buyers in Bedfordshire and sold out almost immediately at each launch.
The contemporary collection of houses will be continuously released in phases over the next few years, giving couples and growing families the opportunity to put down roots in one of the country’s most ambitious new schemes. Willow Grove is just one of four new garden villages making up Wixams, which once complete will have delivered some 4,600 new homes, including a total of 124 two- and three-bedroom Shared Ownership houses from L&Q.
Covering an enormous 750 acres, the scheme will also deliver new commercial and retail facilities, and an impressive 300 acres of parkland. Each village will be complete with a local supermarket, garden centre, vet and village hall, promoting community interaction across the four neighbourhoods. Ideal for families, the site will also be home to six new schools, with three schools already open; Wixams Tree Primary, Lakeview School and Wixams Academy.
Christine Osborne, sales and customer service director for L&Q’s Counties region, commented: “Our highly successful launch last year, proves that there is a significant demand for Shared Ownership outside of London. Wixams is one of largest new brownfield developments in the UK and we are excited to be a part of the project, delivering high-quality homes in this thriving new district for Bedfordshire. We’re proud to be supporting first-time buyers onto the property ladder with this exceptional collection of two- and three-bedroom houses.”
Buyers can expect integrated appliances in the kitchen, bathrooms featuring contemporary white sanitaryware and chrome finishes, a master bedroom fitted with built-in mirror wardrobes, a private garden, two allocated parking bays and cycle storage.
