Development Launched In Bedfordshire

Storey Homes has unveiled its latest development, Bidwell Mews, situated between the historic town of Houghton Regis and the new thriving community of Bidwell.

It comprises a contemporary collection of spacious two- to five-bedroom detached and semi-detached houses and offers a ‘town and country’ lifestyle. On the doorstep of the Bedfordshire countryside, the new settlement will provide a local centre, primary school, and sports pitches, in addition to all of the facilities available in Houghton Regis. Moreover, residents will benefit from a variety of amenities, green spaces, and travel connections in the neighbouring towns of Dunstable, Leighton and Luton.

Katy Jordan, managing director of Storey Homes, commented: “Our versatile selection of homes at Bidwell Mews provides ample choice for every possible buyer type; from first-time purchasers at the start of their homeownership journey, to growing or established families in need of extra room. We know that following the events of the last year, all buyers are reassessing their needs, and the search for space is driving buyers to rural locations like Houghton Regis. Along with impressive room sizes, many of the four and five-bedroom properties come with double garages and driveways. Selective plots also benefit from our with Stamp Duty paid incentive if they are reserved by July 30th.”

Each home has open-plan kitchen/dining space providing a hub for cooking and eating together with friends or family. Kitchens feature contemporary Hacker units with soft close doors and drawers, low-energy LED downlighting, Karndean flooring, and a range of integrated Bosch appliances. Bathrooms and en suites are equally well appointed, coming complete with white Roca sanitaryware, Karndean flooring, LED downlighting and Chrome fixtures. Residents will all benefit from private outdoor space. Wardrobes are standard to master suites.

The development is located in the civil parish of Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, an area recognised for a number of annual events, including the May Fayre, carnival, classic and vintage car show, and infamous pancake race. Just a few minutes away are contiguous neighbours, Dunstable, Leighton and Luton - where residents will have access to a variety of shopping and leisure facilities.

Dunstable town centre offers a range of local shops, restaurants and supermarkets; as well as a weekly market, and dynamic gym/sports hall. Further afield, avid shoppers can visit The Centre MK - one of the largest shopping centres in the UK – and reachable in 30 minutes by car.

For outdoor pursuits, residents have the choice of the Dunstable Downs; which, at 797ft, are at the highest point of the county of Bedfordshire, and regularly used by kite fliers and paragliders. Alternatively, green-space seekers can venture over to the nearby Chiltern Hills; an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covering 324 square miles of countryside – perfect for an afternoon gander with family and friends.

For daytime entertainment, ZSL Whipsnade Zoo plays hosts to a variety of animal-themed experiences for visitors to enjoy; or, for the adults of Bidwell Mews, the nearby Luton Hoo Hotel provides the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind. The 1,000-acre country estate dates back to the 18th century; and houses an award-winning restaurant, spa and golf course.

Families with children are well catered for, with the local and surrounding areas offering a range of schooling options for children of all ages. These include Houghton Regis Primary School, Houghton Regis Academy, and The Chiltern School.

Residents at Bidwell Mews have a choice of railway stations; all within a few miles of the development – including Leagrave Station, where commuters can reach London St Pancras in as little as 42 minutes, and London Bridge in 57. The scheme is also located just three miles away from the M1, affording access into London and the Midlands with ease. London Luton Airport, the fourth-largest airport in the UK is 11 minutes away – whisking travellers across the globe with little effort involved.

Prices currently start from £364,950 for a three-bedroom property. Right now, buyers have the bonus of having their Stamp Duty paid for by Storey Homes. Show homes are launching this autumn. Find out more at storey-homes.co.uk.
