Budding homeowners should look no further than the Maidstone home at plot 177 at Barratt Homes' Alexander Gate development in Hanley in Stoke-on-Trent, when looking for an affordable modern home in an ideal location.

With Help to Buy available, and multiple properties ready to move into, the five-star homebuilder is providing an excellent solution for first time buyers wanting to secure their place on the property ladder, or those wishing to upsize to a more spacious, modern home.

The semi-detached three bedroom Maidstone design offers a spacious lounge leading into an attractive, modern open-plan kitchen and dining area that is perfect for conversations as you cook during family mealtimes, or hosting dinner parties with friends.

Access to the property's garden is via French doors in the kitchen, and provides residents with plenty of outdoor space, ideal for the summer months.

The first floor has two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom is fitted with an en suite shower room.

If you were hoping for guests to stay once lockdown regulations have eased, the second double bedroom and single bedroom are ideal environments for your friends and family. The single bedroom can also be turned into a room that suits the resident's needs, such as a study or craft room.

With multiple properties available to move into right away, Barratt Homes are providing buyers with various upgrades and extras, such as £1000 towards moving costs and shared ownership, depending on the plot you choose to view. These can be discussed with a Sales Adviser at a pre-arranged appointment viewing. 

Georgina Hall, Sales Manager at David Wilson Homes Mercia, said: “The Maidstone has been designed with those who value space in mind and is ideal for first-time buyers or a growing family.

“With some ready to move into straight away, homeowners can enjoy the contemporary, modern features as soon as they arrive.

“The open-plan kitchen and dining area is perfect for families who want to spend time together, and with the warmer months approaching, the south-facing garden offers a quality open space for children and who want to spend their time outside.”

Alexander Gate is located on Waterloo Road, a mile away from the centre of popular town Hanley in Stoke-on-Trent. Ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors, the development is half a mile from Central Forest Park where residents can enjoy long walks.

Hanley is home to multiple amenities. Those who love a bit of retail therapy will benefit from The Potteries shopping centre being half a mile away. The nearest train station is a two mile drive, and Alexander Gate offers easy access to the M6, so commuting further afield is easy for those who need to.

Those considering the Maidstone will have the opportunity to take advantage of Help to Buy, as well as Shared Ownership on certain plots.

Help to Buy, which launched in 2013, allows buyers to purchase a home with just a 5% deposit and a 75% mortgage. The remaining 20% is funded by an equity loan, interest-free for the first five years and repayable on the sale on the home. 

Shared Ownership allows first time buyers to purchase a share of their home – typically between 25 and 75% – with a lower deposit. Buyers pay a mortgage on their share, and rent that is usually below market value on the remainder of the property.
