Two years after launching, a new build homes development on the outskirts of Kettering continues to capture the hearts of local house hunters.

Cranford Chase, in Barton Seagrave, is consistently one of Persimmon Homes Midlands’ most popular developments – and according to sales director Claire Dearsley, it is easy to see why. “Barton Seagrave is a highly sought-after place to live, thanks to its excellent amenities and easy access to the motorway network,” said Claire.

“Cranford Chase is in an ideal location, surrounded by the peaceful, unspoilt countryside of Northamptonshire but is also close to all the shopping and leisure facilities of Kettering town centre.

“Families love Barton Seagrave for its excellent nearby schools and how close it is to the sports and entertainment opportunities at Kettering Venture Leisure Park or the renowned Wicksteed Park. This really is a very special place to live.”

A collection of two, three, four and five bedroom homes, Cranford Chase delivers a choice of house styles to suit a wide range of buyers. Claire added: “All our homes are built to high levels of energy efficiency and stringent safety standards, and come with our two-year Persimmon warranty, plus a 10-year insurance-backed warranty, offering peace of mind and lower running costs than older properties.

“There are a number of packages to assist people looking to move, including the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme which enables first time buyers to purchase a new home with just a five per cent deposit.

“Alternatively, those with an existing property to sell can ask us about our Part Exchange and Home Change schemes, which aim to save the buyer time and money.”
