LAKESIDE, GREAT OAKLEY

Release Date: 02 May 2008

New Lakeside Show Home in the finest tradition

Jelson Homes is set to launch a new Show Home at its Lakeside development near Great Oakley on Friday, 9th May. Built to Jelson’s popular ‘Armscote’ design, this is a traditional detached, 5 bedroom family home - but with a modern twist. For while it features a traditional build and layout, this is a home designed to meet the needs of today’s busy lifestyles.

A generous central hall the provides access to the ground floor rooms which include a living room with elegant bay window, separate dining room with doors to a patio, kitchen with plenty of space for informal dining and French doors to the garden, a utility room, cloakroom and a study. Meanwhile, the first floor offers a master bedroom with en-suite facilities, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The tradition-meets-modern theme of this property is evident from its build down to the finishing touches. Jelson Homes’ trademark solid internal walls ensure that this is a home built to stand the test of time, while uPVC windows from Jelson’s own workshop are easy to care for and help keep heating bills to a minimum. The kitchen features bespoke, fitted units that, while designed to accommodate a range of appliances, are built by Jelson in their own workshop. The result is a rare opportunity to buy a traditional, two storey family home that offers all the benefits of a new home and none of the re-decoration or maintenance associated with second-hand properties.

But if a 5 bedroom family home is not what you’re looking for, at Lakeside a range of properties are available to suit a variety of lifestyles, all boasting the same quality of build and finish that help set Jelson apart from the competition. Other homes available include a 2 bedroom apartment, a choice of 3 bedroom homes offering flexible accommodation and a selection of 4 bedroom properties built to different designs and layouts to suit varying needs.

And this popular new address also benefits from a location that, while within easy reach of local amenities and transport links, is also well placed for exploring the countryside of the surrounding Welland Valley. Nearby Great Oakley has a Tesco Express and Morrison’s supermarket while, just 4 miles distant, Corby boasts a range of high street stores, eateries and leisure facilities. Families are provided for by some good schools at both primary and secondary level and excellent road links ensure that Kettering, Market Harborough, Northampton and Peterborough are all within commutable distance.

Before incentives, prices at Lakeside start at just £199,950 for a 2 bedroom apartment. The new Show Home will open its doors to the public from 10am on Friday 9th May, but if you can’t wait, visit the sales office on Lyveden Way, open daily 11am – 5pm, Tel 01536 745112. www.jelson.co.uk
