BRIGHT AND AIRY: Sales Adviser Zoe McIver, top inset, unveils the Sunningdale show home at Beaumont Grange
Just so many ways new home could be yours M
ILLER Homes has launched a new development in Warrington, with homes available from only £115,000. Beaumont Grange is the company’s newest site, following hot on the heels of its sell-out ‘Urban Space’ development in Warrington town centre in June. And with four sales already confirmed, demand is hot since the opening of its ‘Sunningdale’ three-bed show home. And it’s not hard to see why. The Sunningdale is
by JANET TANSLEY designed and built to high standards, with tons of space for you and your growing family. A separate hallway with downstairs cloakroom leads into a lounge with plenty of room to relax at the rear of the house. A roomy kitchen and dining area feature patio doors leading to the garden. Upstairs, a large double bedroom and second and third bedrooms with ample space are complemented by a family bathroom with fitted shower.
As well as the Sunningdale starting at £115,000, there is a choice of four-bed detached, three and four-bed semi-detached and mews homes, in a variety of six house designs with a popular range of incentives. For people with a property to sell in a slow second-hand market, Miller Homes offers MiMove. Qualifying buyers benefit from a free independent valuation of their existing property, the appointment of an agent for expert help in planning and marketing their property at the right price. For first-time buyers there
are more options. Deposit Match is a deposit doubling offer. Whatever they have saved for a deposit, up to 5% of the purchase price, Miller Homes will double, making it even easier to get on the property ladder. Then there is MiWay, an equity loan scheme that allows buyers to pay from as little as 85% of the property value yet own 100% of their new home when they move in. The balance of the price is provided in the form of an equity loan that is interest free for the first five years. MiWay places the buyer in a stronger position when
applying for a mortgage. The interior design treatment of the Sunningdale show home has been created by leading UK interior designer, Elaine Gore of Lifestyle Interiors. There will be plenty of interior inspiration to see as every room of the property has been decorated in the latest trends. The show home and marketing suite at Miller at Beaumont Grange is located off Bewsey Road, Warrington, WA5 0AF. It is open Thursday to Monday inclusive, from 10.30am to 5.30pm. Call 0800 840 8565.
