Exclusive Collection Of Shared Ownership Homes In Bedford
L&Q is launching an exclusive collection of five, two-bedroom Shared Ownership houses at L&Q at Willow Grove on 25 March, in a new community situated on the outskirts of Bedford.
L&Q’s homes are located within the growing neighbourhood of Wixams, a major new development formed of four separate villages. Set on a former brownfield site, Wixams will ultimately bring 4,600 new homes, retail and commercial facilities, six schools and 300 acres of parkland to the Bedfordshire countryside. L&Q at Willow Grove is ideal for buyers seeking a home which blends traditional village life with modern convenience.
Claire Brenlund, sales and marketing director at L&Q comments: “We are pleased to be delivering much-needed homes and an affordable route onto the property ladder in the thriving town of Bedford, an area which has experienced significant property growth over the last year especially. Our new two-bedroom Shared Ownership houses offer both spacious semi-detached and terrace layouts, which are ideally suited for couples and young families. The significant transformation of this former brownfield site is already evident - Wixams is a new village that has been designed with community living in mind, complete with local shops, schools, a playground, ponds and a green, with more amenities planned for the near future.”
Offering flexible, multi-functional rooms, the open plan living/kitchen and dining area in L&Q’s new two-bedroom homes provides ample space for the requirements of modern day living. Contemporary kitchens are complete with gloss units and soft close drawers, while fully integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, hob and oven mean that buyers can move straight in without worrying about additional costs. Upstairs, main bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes with full height mirrored doors, while neutral bathrooms are finished with white sanitaryware and a chrome heated towel rail for an added touch of luxury. Outside, each home has allocated parking, a shed and a turfed garden including paving.
Ideal for growing families, within Wixams, four primary schools and a secondary school are being delivered – including Wixams Academy, Lakeview School and Lakeview pre-school which are already open and just a five-minute walk away from L&Q at Willow Grove. In nearby Bedford, there are numerous schools rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, including Bedford Free School, Castle Newnham School, and Cherry Trees Nursery School.
L&Q at Willow Grove benefits from easy transport links via rail and road. A short drive from the development, journeys from Bedford Station to London St Pancras take just 38 minutes, while Luton is accessible in 14 minutes. There are also handy rail connections to the Midlands, South Coast and Gatwick Airport. Plus, construction work on a new train station for Wixams will commence this year, reducing journey times across Bedfordshire and further afield. By car, the M1 and A1 are both nearby, putting day trips to the larger towns to places such as Milton Keynes’ indoor skiing centre and Cambridge’s historic city centre within easy reach.
Shared Ownership prices for the new launch start from £120,000 for a 40% share of a two-bedroom houses (full market value: £300,000).
