Owning a brand new home in one of the region's most sought-after locations is a dream-come-true for first time buyers, Jason Bond and Ellen Chattoe.
Settling into their David Wilson Homes three bedroom, three storey, Cannington townhouse at Wyndham Park, the couple are full of praise for the popular development.
"We were renting in this area for around two years and were desperate to move to a home of our own," said Jason. "The prospect of finding the large deposit required to step onto the property ladder was a little daunting but we moved in with parents. We began to save and kept our eyes open for our possible first home."
Wyndham Park, on the outskirts of Yeovil, offers something for everyone with an exciting selection of two, three, four and five bedroom homes. And buyers seeking a home for the very first time can take advantage of a Government-backed scheme, called FirstBuy.
Under the scheme, qualifying buyers are offered a loan of up to 20 per cent of the price of the property, jointly funded by Barratt and the Government's Homes and Communities Agency.
They then only have to find the remaining 80 per cent of the price themselves with the mortgage and deposit.
"We saved for six months and knew locally of Wyndham Park, so we went to have a look around," added Jason. "Even though the development offers fantastic value for money, we still couldn't afford to take that first step. But the sales team were brilliant. They guided us through the possibilities - and we opted to use FirstBuy to buy our Cannington home."
The Cannington offers a spacious ground floor family, dining and kitchen area with french doors leading to the garden. There is also a separate study. Upstairs, there is a first floor living room as well as a double bedroom and an attractive family bathroom.
The second floor features bedrooms one and two with a separate en suite to the master.
"We love our new house - and we're extremely lucky with its location here at Wyndham Park - with some great rural views out to the back.
"Everyone, from the sales people to the site team, has been great. And now we are looking forward to meeting our new neighbours and enjoying the wonderful community atmosphere on offer here."
Wyndham Park offers the perfect location for those looking for a semi-rural setting with the convenience of local amenities.
Set on the edge of stunning countryside, the development offers access to relaxing riverside walks whilst providing many local amenities - including a brand new primary school.
The development is situated on the eastern outskirts of Yeovil, next to open South Somerset countryside. It is conveniently located with easy access to the A303 and the main Waterloo railway line to London. Yeovil itself has a thriving retail centre and is well served by shopping and sporting facilities.
