Home of the Day – The 'Folkestone’, Barratt Homes

The WhatHouse? team reports on our current favourite new home for sale right now – today, we pick the three-bedroom ‘Folkestone’ house type at Park Farm, a Barratt Homes development in the market town of Thornbury, around 12 miles from Bristol. 

Plot 427, is a great example of this home, which comes with two parking spaces. Downstairs, opposite the cloakroom, is a separate kitchen/breakfast room at the front of the house. This particular home comes with an upgraded kitchen worth £3,829. There’s a lounge/dining room with French doors to the garden at the rear, and it also comes with a handy and spacious cupboard under the stairs. On the first floor is the family bathroom, two double bedrooms, with an en suite shower room in the master, and a single bedroom that could alternatively be a home office. This house is priced £307,995 and will be ready to move into this summer. 

Park Farm is a development which Barratt Homes is building alongside its sister brand, David Wilson Homes and is providing a whole range of homes in acres of open space. It’s just a mile from the centre of Thornbury, which has an array of shops and eateries, and – ideal for young families - is within walking distance of St Mary's C of E Primary School, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. There’s a bus service at this development, and it’s only a short drive to major road like the M4, M5, M48 and A38. 

With Barratt, there’s a choice of three- and four-bedroom houses priced from £299,995 to £479,995. There’s a completely different variety of house types with two to five bedrooms from David Wilson, which are on the market from £262,000 to £650,000. Both housebuilders offer Help to Buy and other incentives. 

The popular ‘Folkestone’ is also available right now at a number of Barratt Homes developments in this and other regions, including:
