Older house-hunters will have a greater choice of new homes in Wokingham next month, as Banner Homes prepares to launch its Glebelands over-55s development on 17th November. With a number of homes already reserved, there is clearly demand for these age-exclusive properties, situated in the grounds of a Grade II-listed Victorian manor house.
The design of the new-build apartments and cottages will be sympathetic to the architecture of the manor house, but buyers are assured of a thoroughly 21st-century interior specification, including a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, en suite facilities to the master bedroom and the latest levels of energy efficiency to minimise running costs. One-bedroom apartments will be priced from £250,000, two-bedroom apartments from £300,000 and two-bedroom cottages from £400,000.
Residents will have access to the landscaped grounds and a number of communal facilities in a Clubhouse, including a kitchen, lounge and beauty salon. There will also be a concierge service which can take care of errands.
Shelley West, sales director for Banner Homes Central, says "We have been extremely pleased with the level of interest we have received to date, with over 200 people registering and already 10 apartments reserved off-plan, prior to the opening of the show apartments. The launch will give people the opportunity to see for themselves the quality and attention to detail that Banner Homes puts into each home it builds. We already have a marketing suite open on Bush Walk in Wokingham town centre where you can view the model of the development, see plans of the properties available and view the brochure."
The marketing suite is open from 10.00am to 5.00pm daily. The development is conveniently located for public transport links to the centre of Wokingham, which offers a fine range of shops and services as well as a range of pubs and restaurants and a theatre. The area is renowned for a number of excellent golf courses and there are facilities for a numerous other sports and hobbies. Proximity to the M4 and M3 means easy access to many destinations.
