Open Home Event For Colchester Shared Ownership Homes This Weekend
Housing provider Peabody is inviting house-hunters in the Colchester area to attend an Open Home event at its Abbey Corner development on Saturday 10 June.
The event will showcase the six remaining homes at the development, and visitors can explore the contemporary interiors, green spaces, and the wider community, whilst the friendly sales team will be on hand to answer any questions about the homes and the Shared Ownership scheme. As a bonus, Peabody is offering buyers a £2,000 John Lewis voucher if reserving on the day (terms and conditions apply).
The varied layouts and spacious interiors of each home combined with the scenic private and communal green spaces ensure the appeal of Abbey Corner to a range of buyers including young families and first-time buyers. Properties feature light-filled, open-plan kitchen/dining areas complete with grey handless units and a variety of Zanussi integrated appliances. Bathrooms juxtapose dark anthracite ceramic floor tiles with sleek, white sanitaryware, with select homes also benefiting from the added luxury of an en suite to the primary bedroom. Creating a peaceful sanctuary, bedrooms are complete with soft pile carpet in, allowing movers to immediately make themselves at home.
Sustainability has been carefully considered in the design of the development, with cycle storage units located in the shed of each home and a network of off-road cycle paths surrounding the development for easy links around the city.
Green space is abundant both within and surrounding Abbey Corner. In addition to private and secure gardens to each home, the development features communal landscaped gardens and outdoor children’s play areas. For more to enjoy, Castle Park is just a mile away on foot and hosts a crazy golf course, scenic riverside walks, and an impressive Norman castle.
Andrew Peglau, assistant director of marketing, brand & PR at Peabody, commented: “Providing an unmissable opportunity for homebuyers in Colchester, our final range of homes at Abbey Corner is perfectly positioned to capture everything the city has to offer. Showcasing the impressive specification on offer, our Open Home event will allow prospective homebuyers to view the homes for themselves and discover more about the homebuying process. With an exclusive opportunity to receive a £2,000 voucher for those reserving at the event, ideal for personalising the space and buying homeware essentials, we urge interested parties to register their interest in attending as soon as possible.”
