With more and more people looking to downsize or invest, it’s no surprise that Redrow’s Meadow Brook development in Hilton has been a massive success.

Just outside Burton-upon-Trent sits the picturesque village of Hilton, where Redrow’s development Meadow Brook is stirring up immense interest with its collection of new homes, which includes apartments such as the Argal and Avon designs.

The apartments are perfect for those who are swept up in the latest craze of down-sizing, with prices starting from only £119,950.

Julia Pallister, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands) says: “There is a common trend at the moment for ‘empty-nesters’ to escape from their large detached houses to more compact and manageable homes that are easy to maintain and don’t have a rambling garden to worry about. However, at the same time they don’t want to compromise their lifestyle and still want to enjoy open spaces and a pleasant environment. This is achievable at Meadow Brook and it is definitely an opportunity not to be missed.”

Meadow Brook offers a superb mix of both town and country living with all the amenities of village life yet it’s only minutes from the main road network. With the carefully maintained gardens and grounds surrounding the apartments, home owners can spend more time enjoying their new found freedom.

As well as those who are looking to downsize, the Argal and Avon apartments are also a perfect opportunity for those keen to invest in property.

“Apartments appeal to investors as they’re maintenance free, and usually tend to be quite easy to rent out – the low starting price also means there’s no stamp duty to pay, making the purchase of one of these apartments even more tempting,” adds Julia.

The contemporary (and slightly larger of the two) Argal boasts an open plan living/dining and kitchen area, while across the hallway is the master bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room, plus an additional bedroom and the family bathroom. The Avon also has two bedrooms with a different layout.

Both properties are perfect for down-sizers who want a spare room for visiting guests – including their grown-up children - and for landlords who can get the maximum return on their investment.

Location is the key when moving house or when looking to rent. The location of Hilton village gives excellent access to the A38 and A50, an ideal position when accessing all of the nearby leisure facilities.
