Castle Hill

Development Overview

Castle Hill is a new build development by Persimmon Homes, located on Castlehill Road, Wishaw, Lanarkshire, ML2 0SB. This North Lanarkshire development is currently marketed as ‘Coming Soon’ and is being built to provide a wide range of new build homes suitable for both first-time buyers and families looking to upsize. The scheme offers a diverse mix of 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom properties, ensuring a selection of layouts to meet varying requirements.

Persimmon Homes, one of the UK’s largest home builders, operates the ‘Community Champions’ programme, which has provided substantial donations to local good causes. Furthermore, each home sold at Castle Hill contributes £3,957 towards local education initiatives, providing an investment in the Wishaw community’s future.

Property Details

While specific house types and floor plans require direct inquiry, the development will feature a selection of detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses ranging from two to five bedrooms. Buyers should contact the developer for detailed specifications on available house designs, including the 'Roseberry' or similar range models.

To assist purchasers, Persimmon Homes is offering schemes such as the Deposit Boost (a 5% deposit contribution) to help secure competitive mortgage rates, as well as Part Exchange and Home Change programmes for existing homeowners, which aim to simplify the moving process by removing estate agent fees and chain delays. All properties benefit from the expected energy efficiency and modern construction standards associated with new build homes.
