A first home or investment in a Somerset village
28th June 2010
Househunters keen to step onto the property ladder for the first time, or those who are seeking a low cost, low maintenance modern home in a rural location, could find exactly what they are looking for in the historic village of Milborne Port.
At Cavanna Homes’ Millbrook Mews development in the heart of a Somerset village that lies on the edge of the Blackmore Vale and the Dorset border, there is a two-bedroom detached coach house with open plan living accommodation, storage space and a garage on the market for £149,000.
Alternatively, there is a large one bedroom, first floor apartment, with parking that overlooks a small stream that runs through Millbrook Mews. This property has a price tag of just £112,000.
Sales Manager Andy James believes that the properties will appeal to singles or couples who are looking for a rural bolt hole or for a first home. “New homes represent excellent value for money, both in terms of purchase price and running costs, but they are rarely available in historic, rural locations such as Milborne Port.
“While both properties benefit from parking, neither of the properties have gardens which means that maintenance is minimal. However on the doorstep are green fields and countryside with plenty of footpaths, bridleways and places to cycle,” added Andy James.
Milborne Port is near Sherborne in the south eastern part of Somerset on the Dorset border. The village has a resident population of just under 3000 and has shops, a post office, doctors' surgery, library, churches, pubs, clubs, playing fields, children's play areas, and a good range of clubs and societies.
The Millbrook Mews development, which began 14 months ago features 53 uniquely designed properties ranging from flats and apartments to coach-houses, terraces and four bedroom family homes.
Cavanna Homes’ Jonathan Cavanna said; “We have invested a great deal of time and effort into designing homes that appeal to a broad range of buyers and are in keeping with the village. It is a prime location site that was previously a redundant factory and we are privileged to be able to bring it to life.”
All properties at Milbrook Mews have either a garage or parking space/s, modern fitted kitchens, smoke alarms, double glazed windows and most also have NACOS approved alarm systems. All are covered by a ten year NHBC guarantee.
