L&Q are releasing a limited collection of 2 and 3-bedroom homes on the 16th and 17th January at Willow Grove, Wixams. This popular development is at the top of the list for many first-time buyers in Bedfordshire looking to get onto the property ladder. Previous launches at Willow Grove have received a high number of interest and sell-out almost immediately at each launch.
The contemporary collection of houses will be continuously released in phases over the next few years – giving couples and growing families the opportunity to put down roots in one of the country’s most ambitious new schemes.
Willow Grove forms part of a wider development programme for the area. The scheme is just one of four new garden villages making up Wixams, one of Europe’s largest new brownfield developments. Once complete, the development will deliver an enormous 4,600 new homes, including a total of 124 two and three bedroom Shared Ownership houses from L&Q.
Covering an enormous 750 acres, the scheme will also deliver new commercial and retail facilities, and an impressive 300 acres of parkland. Each village will be complete with a local supermarket, garden centre, vet and village hall, promoting community interaction across the four neighbourhoods. Ideal for families, the site will also be home to six new schools, with three schools already open; Wixams Tree Primary, Lakeview School and Wixams Academy.
Christine Osborne, Sales and Customer Service Director for L&Q’s Counties Region, comments: “Our highly successful launch last year, proves that there is a significant demand for Shared Ownership outside of London. Wixams is one of largest new brownfield developments in the UK and we are excited to be a part of the project, delivering high quality homes in this thriving new district for Bedfordshire. We’re proud to be supporting first time buyers onto the property ladder with this exceptional collection of two and three bedroom houses.”
This phase of new homes at Willow Grove are complete with sleek integrated appliances in the kitchen. Bathrooms feature contemporary white sanitaryware and chrome finishes, while the master bedroom is fitted with built-in mirror wardrobes. Each home will have a private garden, two allocated parking bays and cycle storage.
Willow Grove is just a 17 minute drive from the historic town of Bedford, offering a plethora of popular restaurants, bars and shops – including The Harpur Shopping Centre and Riverside Bedford Leisure Complex. There is plenty to do in the wider area; from indoor skiing and snowboarding at Xscape Milton Keynes, to music, comedy and theatre at The Bedford Corn Exchange.
Perfect for nature lovers, there are over 1000 hectares of sprawling countryside spread across Bedfordshire. A Green Flag Park for eight years running, nearby Priory Country Park offers something for all ages, from grassy meadows and woodland, to children’s play areas and fishing and boating lakes.
Central London is easily accessible from nearby Bedford Train Station, reaching London St Pancras in just under fifty minutes.* Alternatively, the scheme offers easy road access to Milton Keynes and London, and sits along the Cambridge – Milton Keynes – Oxford corridor. Luton airport is also a 35 minute drive away.
Prices start from £104,000 for a 40% share of a two bedroom house (full market value £260,000) and £126,000 for a 40% share of a three bedroom house (full market value £315,000).
