DERE STREET HOMES SALES SUCCESS AT CONSETT

Just six weeks after opening the showhome at their Dales View development in Consett, Dere Street Homes have sold four of the first phase of homes released for sale with another two upfield reservations for properties that will be released for sale in the New Year.

Located in Redmire Drive, Delves Lane, the development consists of 20 four bedroom detached homes of seven different designs and is the final phase of residential development on this site. Brian Smith, Development Sales Manager, commented, “The development enjoys a superb location with many of the homes having wonderful views over the Durham Dales. Interest in the development remains as high as it was since our first presence on site and we anticipate demand will continue throughout the development. Whilst one of our buyers is a first time buyer, the remainder are families who are moving up from three bedroom homes close by but obviously wish to remain in the area and have been waiting for larger homes to become available.”

“Our visitors have been impressed by the designs and fantastic specification of these family properties in such a popular location – the homes are both practical and stylish with well planned living spaces”.

The Durham-based developer is also able to offer buyers access to the Government’s Help To Buy scheme which offers buyers of new homes an equity loan of up to 20% of the cost of a new built home. The loan is interest free for the first five years with interest only charged in the sixth year and thereafter and, in essence, means a buyer of a new built home only needs to find 5% of the cost of the home as a deposit, with the 20% Help to Buy loan making up the remainder of the deposit and a 75% mortgage making up the remainder of the total cost of the home.

The four bedroom detached Hampshire showhome boasts a Georgian-styled double frontage with deep bay windows to either side of the ‘Canopied’ entrance and a spacious lounge which sweeps the length of the house with French doors leading out to the rear garden.  Featuring an open plan family, dining and kitchen area which is ideal for special family gatherings, an imposing arched window and a turned staircase which leads to four generous sized bedrooms.  Bedroom one enjoys en-suite facilities with built-in wardrobes while the remaining three bedrooms share the family bathroom.  The home comes complete with a detached single garage.

Prices for the homes currently released for sale range from £151,960 with help to buy )Normal selling price £189,950) for a four bedroom Carnforth.  Full details are available from Brian Smith, Dere Street Homes Development Sales Manager,  on 07944 568720 or from Head Office on (0191) 373 6535.
