Practical Information

The development by Persimmon Homes, a high-volume builder, provides options across the two to five-bedroom market, with schemes like Part Exchange and Deposit Unlock potentially available for qualifying buyers. While specific prices span from the mid-£240,000s to at least £499,950, availability for new build homes should be considered limited, as the development has been indicated as nearing a sold-out status. Potential buyers are advised to contact the sales office immediately for the most current availability and to enquire about the status of individual plots, as build quality and customer service for Persimmon Homes nationally have generated mixed reviews, with reported issues varying significantly between different developments. Viewing arrangements and confirmation of specific features, such as plot-level parking and warranty details, must be secured directly via the sales team.
