The first properties at a new Persimmon Homes development in Rothwell have been released for sale.

A selection of two, three and four bedroom houses is now available at the Woodland Valley development in the popular market town.

Claire Dearsley, sales and marketing director for developer Persimmon Midlands, said: “Initial activity has been high at this site, with many people registering their interest in the properties before they were even released for sale.

“The houses will be surrounded by areas of open space, green corridors and play areas, in keeping with the semi-rural setting.”

Woodland Valley will ultimately provide 700 new build homes on an 82-acre site, along with a new strategic link road to benefit new and existing residents in the town. Houses are available from £204,950 for a two bedroom home featuring open-plan dining kitchen with French doors leading out into the garden.

Claire added: “We are currently selling Woodland Valley properties from our nearby Cranford Chase development in Barton Seagrave. Our sales advisor can be contacted on 01536 211 228 for more information.

“And don’t forget - homes of up to £500,000 in England are now exempt from Stamp Duty meaning there are huge savings to be made.

“We are also able to offer the Government’s Help to Buy scheme, where buyers only need a five per cent deposit to secure their ideal property. This could be just the help you need to get you moving into a sparkling new Persimmon home.”
