Carisbrooke House apartment scheme, Tamworth

Over 50 per cent of all apartments have now been sold at Walton Homes’ Carisbrooke House development located on Greenway Park in Two Gates, Tamworth.

11 of the 20 homes have now been sold at the luxury scheme and Walton Homes has reported that the two bedroom apartments are proving popular with downsizers looking for smaller or no mortgage repayments, lower utility bills and less maintenance responsibilities. A number of residents from the local area have now moved into the modern apartment building and are enjoying the leafy surroundings and convenient location.

Lisa Richards from local selling agent Acres says: “People wishing to downsize in Tamworth are expressing a keen interest in the luxury apartments at Carisbrooke House, often being tempted by the beautifully maintained grounds. Buying a smaller home offers real benefits to many people; it can mean no mortgage repayments and less maintenance work, such as caring for a garden. Or it might be that, with grown-up children moving away, extra bedrooms and multiple reception rooms are surplus to requirements.

“One great aspect of downsizing, is that in turn, it streamlines how you live. There will be less furnishing and knick knacks to clean and dust, and fewer rooms to vacuum. Utility bills will also be lower with electricity, gas, water use, and lighting needs minimised, especially since the newly built apartments are so well insulated. “

Carisbrooke House is the final phase of Walton Homes’ highly successful Greenway Park development. Prices for the two bedroom apartments, which each have an allocated parking space, range from £119,950 to £127,500. Of the nine apartments still available, there are a total of five varying layout designs, giving purchasers an array of options to suit their personal tastes and circumstances.

All bar one of the apartments currently available fall under the £125,000 stamp duty threshold, meaning buyers are exempt from paying stamp duty. All of the apartments are now available for immediate occupation and Walton Homes is able to offer tailor made incentives for a limited period.

Helen Rollason, sales manager at Walton Homes said: “This is a really exciting time for The Carisbrooke House development because all 20 homes are now ready for occupation, allowing people to walk around the fully carpeted plots they are interested in before placing a reservation. Buyers have been particularly impressed with the amount of green space surrounding the apartment scheme, which gives people all the enjoyment of having a garden without any of the maintenance responsibility.

“Carisbrooke House offers tremendous value for money and has the added benefit of people being able to simply move straight in without needing to wait for construction work to conclude. It has been very rewarding to hear that our new residents are really enjoying living here and a lovely community spirit has already developed.”

Carisbrooke House has been architecturally designed in a traditional style to be sympathetic to the architecture that is popular in the local area. The apartment building is arranged over one, two and three storeys and a number of the upper floor apartments have Juliet balconies. Each home has a high internal specification, including luxury kitchens and bathrooms.  The newly built luxury apartments are sold with a 125 year lease and a 10 year NHBC guarantee, offering complete peace of mind.
