Homebuyers in Mansfield will be pleased to see a choice of bungalows will be released for sale soon answering the Policy Exchange's recent call for more of these property types to be built in Britain.

Barratt Homes North Midlands is currently building a duo of stylish bungalows at The Grange development in Mansfield, which are expected to be released for sale this summer.

Featuring modern, open plan designs, the bungalows benefit from being close to both Mansfield town centre and the surrounding countryside. And with only two available, the homebuilder expects these exclusive homes to be some of the most sought after on the market.

Both bungalows are two bedroom Hazel style homes which offer a number of modern comforts and a high specification as standard.

Jan Ruston, Sales Director for Barratt Homes North Midlands explains "We recognise the need for new bungalow homes to help support the housing market as new build ones rarely appear for sale.

"Yet many people prefer one level living, bungalows are no longer viewed as old fashioned properties and we are confident that our new bungalows, which have been styled with contemporary charm, will appeal to a wide variety of purchasers."

One of the greatest advantages of newly built bungalows is that buyers benefit from layouts which maximise living space and the reduced availability equals a home that is likely to hold its value, making it a prized investment.

Jan continues "The Hazel is set to be one of the most desirable homes in the Barratt Homes portfolio, thanks to its spacious designs and luxury touches, so anyone interested in purchasing should visit The Grange to find out further details.

The Grange is a popular development located close to Mansfield whilst the centre of Nottingham and the wide range of leisure and recreational facilities it has on offer are also conveniently close at hand.

Barratt Homes is encouraging homebuyers to register their interest online at www.barratthomes.co.uk to find out further details as more information becomes available about these bespoke new homes.

Barratt Homes North Midlands was merited a five star rating in this year's HBF Customer Satisfaction Survey, in which consumers are asked if they are satisfied with the quality of their new home and whether they would recommend their builder to a friend.

Customers can also call the sales centre on 0844 811 3377 open seven days a week from 8am to 9pm.
