Trade in your gas guzzler for an energy efficient, new home at Lakeside

With energy prices soaring - the BBC predicts rises of as much as 40% over the winter and domestic energy supplier Centrica says they could rise by more than 60% in the next few years - trading in your ‘gas guzzler’ for a brand new home could prove a wise move this summer. Research by National Energy Services has shown that living in a new build property could save you up to £556 per year on energy bills at present rates. If, as predicted, prices continue to rise the saving could become even greater.

While tempting enough, making savings on energy bills isn’t the only benefit of moving to a brand new home, as a visit to Jelson Homes’ Lakeside development in Oakley Vale will show. You won’t have to worry about the expense of replacing a tired kitchen or bathroom – you will have a beautiful, fitted kitchen and modern white bathroom suite. Nor will you have to get rid of someone else’s style before adding your own – your new home will be decorated in neutral colours giving you a blank canvas on which to stamp your personality, and it will be fitted with carpets as standard.

Combine this with the fact that all of the homes at Lakeside benefit from Jelson’s traditional standards with Jelson-made double glazed PVCu windows and custom-
built kitchens from Jelson’s own workshop, and these homes offer exceptional value for money.

So, whether you’re looking for your first home, to move up the ladder or to downsize to something smaller, a new build Jelson home could be a cost-effective and stress-free solution.

But with a limited number of homes left on the current phase, you will have to act quickly. Just one 2 bed and one 3 bed apartment remain, ideal either for first time buyers or downsizers. There’s also a selection of 4 bedroom homes for growing families featuring different designs to suit different tastes and needs.

In terms of location, this up and coming new address is within easy reach of local amenities and transport links. While nearby Great Oakley offers several supermarkets, Corby is just 4 miles distant and boasts a range of high street stores, eateries and leisure facilities.

Commuters are well catered for by excellent road links and for families there’s a good range of schools at both primary and secondary level. Outdoor enthusiasts have plenty of opportunities to indulge thanks to the nearby Welland Valley.

Prices at Lakeside start at just £119,950 for a 2 bed apartment, the 3 bed apartment is £129,950 and the 4 bedroom homes with a garage start from £189,980. To find out more about how a move to Lakeside could make you great savings, visit the show home and sales office on Lyveden Way open daily from 11am until 5pm, Tel 01536 745112.
