Redrow’s Stoney Bank Chase in Thongsbridge, near Holmfirth, has a number of homes ready to fulfil the needs of first-time buyers wanting a place of their own.
Whatever the reason behind the search for a first home - seeing money wasted on rent or needing space away from parents – we have got it covered, with a number of options available for buyers.
Steve Jackson, sales director at our Yorkshire division says: “The average first time buyers are now in their 30s and many have already started a family by the time they come to buy their own home. Until now they may have been living with family or renting.
“What some people might not realise is that paying a mortgage can often be cheaper than renting a place. And, while we understand saving for a deposit can sometimes be a challenge, homes at Stoney Bank Chase can be purchased using the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme meaning that eligible buyers may only need to save a relatively small deposit.”
The Government will lend up to 20% of the value of the new home through an equity loan, which is interest free for the first five years and can be repaid at any time within 25 years or on the resale of the home, whichever is sooner. This means that buyers may be able to get onto the property ladder with a 5% deposit and 75% mortgage from a bank or building society of choice.
Properties such as the four-bed detached Shrewsbury are ideal for couples or families buying their first home. Starting from £314,950 this home gives buyers a lot of room for their money and may even save them the time and effort of having to make that ‘second step’ in a few years’ time.
A spacious lounge leads into an open-plan kitchen and dining area that also has a handy utility and separate cloakroom at one end. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the main bedroom has an en-suite shower room. The home also comes with an integral garage.
Steve continues: “The Shrewsbury has so much space that can also be adapted to suit each customer’s needs. If all four bedrooms aren’t needed for sleeping, then one could easily be transformed into a study, playroom or walk-in wardrobe.”
Stoney Bank Chase is set among stunning Pennine scenery in the village of Thongsbridge. While it enjoys a delightful semi-rural location, it also offers good local schools close by, excellent facilities in nearby Holmfirth and easy road and rail access to larger towns and cities, including Huddersfield (six miles), Barnsley (13 miles), plus Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester.
Current availability includes a range of three and four-bedroom natural stone homes from £314,950 up to £419,950 – all under the Help to Buy price threshold – including some ‘Lifestyle’ homes that have fewer but larger bedrooms, each one with en-suite.
