House hunters need to hurry if they want to enjoy modern living yet be close to historic Stratford-upon-Avon.

Persimmon Homes South Midlands has only a handful of properties left at its popular Cotswold Vale site and is urging buyers not to miss out.

The contemporary mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes has helped to create a thriving new community in a rural location that also boasts excellent transport links.

Persimmon Homes South Midlands Head of Sales Amanda Rogers said: “Our Cotswold Vale development has proved very popular with our customers and it is easy to see why. It is only around five miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon and six miles from Chipping Campden. It is set amongst open countryside and yet within easy reach of the Cotswolds, so its location is enviable.”

Built on a former Royal Engineers’ base, Meon Vale is already a thriving community and has great facilities, including a public square, village hall, the Meon Vale Leisure Centre, a convenience store, a children’s play area and skate park, as well as a new bus service.

Cotswold Vale is part of the second phase of the redevelopment by St Modwens which also includes employment opportunities, leisure attractions, self-catering lodges, holiday homes, touring caravan parks, community and leisure hubs and sports pitches.

Property types include three, four and five-bedroom homes, featuring three-storey designs that perfectly suit modern living. The five-bedroom Newton, Hadleigh and Corfe also offer versatile layouts, where bedroom five could also be used as a study, perfect for those working from home.

Amanda added: “Buyers have been quick to realise the appeal of Cotswold Vale and we urge people to act quickly if they want to live there.”

She added: “We have various schemes available to help people buy their perfect home, so moving couldn’t be easier. We are available for viewings, with bookings by appointment.”
