OUTLANDS CROFT, HINCKLEY

Release Date: 19 March 2008

Outlands Croft sales buck the trend

The property market may have got off to an uncertain start in 2008, but Jelson Homes’ new Hinckley development tells a very different story, with no less than eight homes already sold since its launch in January. Add to this the fact that a number of these sales are to first-time buyers and it becomes evident that this is a rather special development. Sales Manager Jackie Woodward says:

“We are delighted by the success at Outlands Croft, but certainly not surprised – Hinckley is a great location and is well placed for commuting to nearby Nuneaton, Leicester and Birmingham. The properties at Outlands Croft also represent exceptional value for money – the majority sold so far are 3 bedroom semis, which offer flexible layouts so our first time purchasers are getting a lot of house for their money while making a great investment for the future.”

In addition to the popular 3 bedroom properties, prices for which start at just £159,950, a selection of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 2 and 4 bedroom houses are taking shape, offering something to suit a range of lifestyles. And each property is built to Jelson’s renowned traditional standards with features such as solid internal walls and bespoke kitchens from Jelson’s own workshop.

Outlands Croft couldn’t be better placed to make the most of Hinckley’s impressive amenities. Situated in an established residential area, purchasers will benefit from settling into a mature community, while for families the popular Battling Brook Community Primary School lies immediately adjacent to the development.

Hinckley’s bustling high street, Britannia Shopping Centre and regular markets offer good shopping alongside theatres, a cinema and good range of eateries. Meanwhile Nuneaton town centre and the Fosse Park shopping centre are both within easy reach for shopaholics. For those wanting to discover the great outdoors, the surrounding countryside is ripe for exploration. For commuters the centres of Nuneaton, Leicester and Birmingham are all easily accessible by car or train, while the nearby A5 provides good access to the M1 and onto London.

Prices start at £119,950 for a 1 bed apartment and go up to £239,950 for a 4 bed detached home. And if you act quickly, you may be able to put your own stamp on your new home by selecting tiles and kitchen units from Jelson’s extensive range.
