With community projects breathing new life and bringing new amenities into the West Midlands town of Oldbury, investment in a brand new home in this rising hot-spot location makes perfect sense.
Latimer Square, Taylor Wimpey’s stylish development of new homes close to the town centre, is playing a significant role in the regeneration of Oldbury – transforming an uninspiring brownfield site into a beautiful new neighbourhood of two-bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom homes.
Conveniently located less than a mile from Oldbury town centre, the new homes benefit from a range of leisure pursuits within walking distance, including Oldbury Leisure Centre, the new ‘Jack Judge House’ library on the site of the former bus station, and Tividale Community Arts College.
The town centre itself is enjoying something of a revival, with the impressive red-brick buildings of the Industrial Revolution becoming bustling offices, shops and restaurants, and the waterways are now used for pleasure boating.
Those seeking more modern pursuits can visit Merry Hill shopping centre, just five miles away and comprising 300 shops, 16 eateries and a cinema, and The Waterfront, the adjacent marina of shops, bars and restaurants.
As well as being well-served by good schools, including Rounds Green and Grace Mary primary schools, a new home at Latimer Square is also ideal for commuters, with the M5 just five miles away, the centre of Birmingham only seven miles, and Wolverhampton eight miles by road.
Between them, Sandwell & Dudley and Langley Green railway stations provide fast and frequent services to Wolverhampton, Coventry, Birmingham, and London.
Daniel McGowan, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey North Midlands, says: “As more new homes are built, Latimer Square is really taking shape as one of the smartest places to live in Oldbury.
“We’re urging those who haven’t yet seen the amazing transformation of this site to come along and see the showhomes and the choice of brand new apartments and houses coming soon.
“Combined with the good work the local council is carrying out to regenerate the town centre and its approaches, Taylor Wimpey is helping to give Oldbury’s status and economy a big boost.
“Our new homes have really improved the look and the prospects of the local area, and this sought-after new neighbourhood is fast becoming a property hotspot!”
Despite the popularity of new Taylor Wimpey homes at Latimer Square, they still offer property-seekers fantastic value for money, with three and four-bedroom detached houses ranging from £177,500 to £235,995. And with two-bedroom apartments coming soon, first-time buyers will have an excellent opportunity to make 2010 the year they step onto the property ladder.
As well as having the pick of the plots, visitors to the development can see the delightful three-bedroom ‘Croxton’ and four-bedroom detached ‘Draycott’ showhomes, as well as the full selection of homes ready to reserve now.
Just one of the homes available for an early reservation is the fabulous four-bedroom detached ‘Chiltern’ priced from only £199,995.
Featuring a spacious kitchen/dining room with patio doors to the rear garden, the ground floor is completed by a large living room and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms – one with en-suite shower room – and a main bathroom. Outside, this highly desirable home has a garage and private rear garden.
Househunters interested in making their move to the development can take advantage of incentives for first-time buyers and Taylor Wimpey’s easymover programme, through which customers with a house to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder helps to find a buyer for their current property.
Incentives can be tailored to homebuyers’ circumstances and are subject to availability. Further details are available from the Sales Executive.
