Couple Buys Four Bed House as First Property
Story posted: 5/08/2009
First time buyers, Abigail and Lee Bryan from West Sussex, have taken advantage of falling property prices and jumped straight onto the property ladder with no less than a four bedroom house. After years of renting, the couple and their three children decided that now was the time to get on the property ladder. After viewing Higgins Homes’ development, The Orchard in Ifield Green, West Sussex, they found their ideal home and now they couldn’t be happier.
Abigail, 31, comments; “Lee and I wanted to get on the property ladder a long time ago, but we were priced out of the market. It has only been since the prices have started to come down, that we could realistically afford to buy somewhere we loved which is also big enough for our family.
“Although it was not an easy decision and the mortgage market is very tricky, as soon as we saw The Orchard we knew we were making the right choice. I was so impressed by how large the property is and the bright, open-plan layout; I could not ask for more space. The location is also ideal for the children because it is very rural and green; it is almost like being on holiday!”
The Orchard comprises 176 three and four bedroom houses situated in the rural area of Ifield Green, less than two miles from Crawley town centre. The development combines traditional and modern architecture, which is set against a green and leafy backdrop. Each property has a private driveway or parking space and there is also an ecological conservation area within the development. I
nternally, each property is fitted with a stylish Urban Myth kitchen and Smeg appliances, which include a stainless steel oven, gas hob, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Crawley is now home to a high profile department store, new restaurants, cafes, shops, bars and improved transport systems.
Crawley train station has regular direct trains to London Victoria Station which take approximately 50 minutes*.
With almost 95% of the homes now occupied availability is quickly reducing. Prices at The Orchard start from £259,950 for a three bedroom house and from £295,000 for a four bedroom house. For further information, contact the sales and marketing suite on telephone: 01293 552 083.
