Part-exchange available on last family home at Branksome Mews

Such has been the popularity of the family homes at Branksome Mews in Stanford-le-Hope that now just one remains for sale, but while many families have been eager to buy and make it their home they have been hindered by the currently sluggish property market. With this in mind, Great Homes Limited, the nominated award winning company behind the development, is delighted to offer homebuyers a part-exchange option.

Naturally there are a few terms and conditions that need to be met, and part exchange only applies to families that are prepared to uproot and move in immediately, but it does mean that there’ll be just the legal paperwork to be done and the boxes packed before the big day arrives to move in. One lucky family will be barbecuing in their new garden before the end of the school summer holidays!

The last property, a four-bedroom Failand style, is beautifully presented and comes complete with a wide range of integrated appliances in the kitchen, fitted carpets and floor coverings throughout and even a turfed rear garden – with space for the all-important barbecue and children’s toys. It is close to schools and local amenities too.

The internal layout of the house is well designed. Presented as the development’s show home, the Failand features a covered entrance door that leads through to a hallway, which has a separate dining room to one side, a study to the other. With more and more people working or studying at home, Great Homes has found that designing a house with a study has proved a popular feature.

The ground floor accommodation continues with a spacious kitchen and breakfast room that affords French doors out to a rear terrace area – perfect for sitting at the table for a leisurely croissants and orange family soiree first thing in the morning. There’s also a lounge, again with French doors, and a hugely useful utility and downstairs cloakroom.

The hallway has a turning staircase, which is as much a feature as it is functional. Ascending to the first floor, it leads to the master bedroom suite comprising an en-suite shower room and dressing area, plus three further bedrooms, each of a good size, and a family bathroom.

The Failand affords a high quality finish and an impressive specification. In the kitchen, for example, there is a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, with a washing machine and separate dryer in the utility, all integrated into Shaker style fitted units. There is also a five-ring hob, double oven and a steel chimney extractor. Wall tiles and the floor covering have been especially chosen by the Great Homes team to create a seamlessly chic space.

Similarly, in the bathroom and cloakroom, the sanitaryware is in a fashionable white – it enables adding individual personality through coloured accessories. The home comes complete with gas central heating, fitted alarm system, double glazed UPVC windows and doors, a traditional timber front door and lots of telephone and television points throughout.

Outside, the property is attractive in mellow red brick with white windows, doors and eaves features, and stands in good size gardens with its own garage and parking space to the rear too.

Branksome Mews is one of the success stories for Great Homes. Created in a mews style arrangement off Branksome Avenue, one of the most prestigious addresses in Stanford-le-Hope, it offers attractive family homes with a real friendly community feel.

Importantly, there are some good schools nearby. The St Clere’s School and Gable Hall are within easy reach, while everyday shops, a library, restaurants and various sport amenities are a short drive away.

Branksome Avenue is also minutes from the road network that encompasses the A13, M25 and the A127, meaning that major towns such as Basildon, Grays and Southend, and the Lakeside Shopping complex, are easily reached for a more expansive choice in terms of shops, leisure and sports centres, medical services, banks, cinema and, of course, employment opportunities. For commuters to the city, Stanford-le-Hope has train journeys of less than 50 minutes straight into London’s Fenchurch Street station.

Moving, especially with a growing family, can be a massive upheaval. Add lengthy chains in the buying and selling process and you have an unsettling time for parents and children alike. With Great Homes’ part-exchange option at Branksome Mews all that could be avoided and you could be settled in and enjoying the summer sun in just weeks. What could be better!
