The current selection of new build homes includes 3 and 4 bedroom designs, encompassing both semi-detached and detached house types. Available properties include the three-bedroom 'Kennett', priced from £415,000, and the three-bedroom 'Greenwood', starting at £431,000. Larger family homes, such as the four-bedroom detached 'Bayswater' and 'Kirkdale', are available from approximately £497,835 and £535,995 respectively. A typical four-bedroom detached property, such as the 'Holden' show home, is designed with a dedicated study, a utility room, a bay-fronted lounge, and an open-plan dining kitchen that features a glazed bay and French doors leading to the garden. All properties benefit from a 10-year NHBC warranty and the contemporary focus on energy-efficient design, which can result in running cost savings compared to older housing stock. Shared Ownership options for 2 and 3 bedroom houses are also available at Willow Grove through a separate scheme.
