Huntercombe Walk

Huntercombe Walk by Bellway Homes, Taplow, SL6 0PQ

Development Overview

Huntercombe Walk is a completed new build development of apartments by Bellway Homes, situated in the sought-after area of Huntercombe Park, Taplow, Buckinghamshire, SL6 0PQ. The development is currently selling its final remaining plots, which are exclusively two-bedroom apartments. Specific examples of available new build homes include the two-bedroom ‘Cole’ apartment, starting from £325,000, and the ‘Snipe’ two-bedroom apartment, priced at £329,950. Tenure for these properties is Leasehold with a lengthy 999-year lease remaining. The developer, Bellway Homes, is a FTSE 250 company and has been awarded 5-star builder status by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for multiple consecutive years, based on high customer recommendation rates. However, potential buyers should note that, as with any large-scale developer, Bellway Homes has previously faced publicised quality concerns and investigations in other developments, therefore due diligence and professional snagging are recommended. The properties are generally advertised as ready to move into, providing a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty.

Property Details

The remaining new build homes are designed with a focus on modern, open-plan living. A typical property, such as the two-bedroom apartment, features an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room space, with integrated appliances including an oven, hob, and hood. Bedroom layouts generally consist of a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, a second double bedroom, and a separate contemporary bathroom suite. Selected plots include private balconies. All apartments benefit from an allocated parking space, with 80 visitor parking spaces available across the development. Estimated annual service charges for two-bedroom units, such as The Snipe, are approximately £1,196.61, which is an essential factor for buyers to consider. Buyers are advised to confirm the final council tax band with Buckinghamshire Council (currently to be confirmed).
