Brilliant bungalows fuel sales at Walton Homes’ latest development in Tamworth
9th March 2012
Bucking the trend, family run developer Walton Homes, has reported a sales flurry at its latest development named Millfields in Tamworth, with 30 per cent of properties already sold off-plan.
Proving unique in the local market place, Millfields comprises a selection of two, two bedroom luxury bungalows alongside nine beautiful three and four bedroom detached houses – all of which benefit from a traditional design and family sized gardens.
Helen Rollason, sales manager at Walton Homes said: “This new development is doing extraordinarily well in the current climate and to have so much interest before the show home has even been launched really is incredibly rewarding. Many visitors are attracted by the exclusivity of the development and the range of homes on offer, including both family homes and spacious bungalows.
“Building bungalows was a conscious design idea which came in response to many househunters expressing the desire to see some new-build one storey homes on the market. We are certainly filling a gap in the market place as you rarely find bungalows on new build sites – yet many people often prefer the one level living, both young and old. In the past bungalows have been associated with the elderly, but recent activity would suggest that these trends are changing.”
Just two per cent of the homes built in Britain are single storey homes. For developers, bungalows are more expensive to build and cost more per square foot than two-storey dwellings with the same number of bedrooms – consequently demand far outstrips supply.
Helen continues: “Many developers prefer building high density units but at Walton Homes we take pride in designing homes where people want to live, that’s why we focus on smaller developments that excel in creating the perfect backdrop for communities to develop. “
Situated in a prime location off Brookside Way in Wilnecote, Millfields has been designed to the highest specification. All the properties will include spacious kitchens and modern bathrooms and the majority of homes will also benefit from private garages. The bungalows start in price from just £164,950 and the three bedroom detached family homes start from £189,950.
As an added incentive, Walton Homes is offering future residents the chance to personalise their new home when they purchase off-plan at Millfields, with a choice of high quality fixtures and contemporary finishes available, allowing new homeowners the perfect opportunity to put their own spin on the property.
“The new homes have all been designed with spacious and bright living areas and modern kitchens, not to mention the large gardens which are perfect for keeping the children entertained or just taking a moment alone to relax. At Walton Homes we understand just how important your home is to you and with this is mind we will be offering new homeowners who reserve their plots early the chance to have an input on the interior design with a variety of fixtures and fittings available.”
The new show home at Millfields is due to be launched in late March. The Millfields marketing suite is now open from 11am – 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. For further information contact the sales team on 01827 262436, or alternatively log onto www.waltonhomes.co.uk.
