Persimmon Homes Essex has the ultimate Christmas cracker for two local house hunters – a new home in time for the festive season!

Persimmon Homes Essex has two properties into on its Gateway development, on Axial Way in Colchester, ready to move into for buyers able to pick up the keys before Christmas.

Head of sales, Lucy Woodhall, “every year we have a rush of people keen to snap up a new home in December. Demand has been steady at The Gateway, so we have just two houses left that can be moved into before Christmas.”

Perfect for first time buyers or small families, the Moseley is a three bedroom home offering a modern open-plan living, dining and kitchen space with French doors leading out to the garden. The property is currently available for £239,995* including carpets and vinyl flooring throughout the home and turf laid in the rear garden.

For those needing more space, the Leicester style house is a modern four bedroom home spread over three storeys, featuring an open-plan dining kitchen, a living room with French doors into the garden and an impressive master bedroom with en suite on the top floor. Available for £312,995*, Persimmon are currently including carpet and vinyl flooring and a very useful £5,649 to pay the Stamp Duty.

Lucy added: “buyers at The Gateway may be eligible for the Government’s Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme, meaning they would only need a five per cent deposit to secure their new home. Whether it is more space for friends and family, or just a place to call your own, we understand how special this Christmas dream can be, and our on-site sales advisor will be delighted to help deliver this perfect festive gift.”
