Leading homebuilder Persimmon Homes South Midlands is reporting on the popularity of one particular housetype at its Persimmon Vale development in Gloucester, the beautiful three bedroom Blacksmith.
 

“This particular property has continued to sell well among a diverse mix of househunters including first time buyers, young and growing families and those looking to downsize,” comments Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands. She adds: “I believe this is due to the combination of its traditional two storey design, spacious layout, coupled with a very competitive price to help househunters get on the move with ease.”
 

The Blacksmith housetype is just perfect for anyone who loves the traditional layout of a double fronted property, complete with spacious rooms and a well thought out internal design.
 

The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, a large dual aspect lounge with French doors leading to the rear garden, while the beautiful kitchen and dining area is ideal for informal entertaining or socialising with the family while cooking. There is also a handy guest cloakroom and storage cupboard located on this floor.
 

Upstairs the master bedroom incorporates an en suite shower room and the two further double bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom.

The property is available from just £199,995 and on certain plots comes complete with the 70 per cent shared equity scheme HomeBuy Direct, so is on offer for £139,997, meaning buying a Blacksmith housetype with Persimmon is not just an attractive proposition, but an affordable one too.

Alison concludes: “To give househunters a really good insight into how the Blacksmith will look when complete, we have dressed one housetype as our viewhome, which has led to further interest from interested parties looking to move to our beautiful Persimmon Vale development.”
 

Persimmon Vale is located conveniently just three miles from the centre of Gloucester and in close proximity to the M5 for excellent commuter links. As part of the exciting new Kingsway development, the homes will benefit from being part of an entire new community which includes a school, shops, health and sports facilities and copious amounts of play areas and parklands for residents to enjoy.
