Leicestershire house hunters are being encouraged to consider two new developments in Wigston where there are brand-new opportunities to progress on the property ladder.
Wigston Meadows and Wigston Meadows at Kilby Bridge are located on the rural edge of Leicester and are proving to be popular with buyers looking for a brand-new home.
Both Barratt Homes developments have been designed to support modern living by incorporating smart technologies and energy-efficient features, yet each community has its own distinct identity.
Wigston Meadows is situated closer to the heart of Wigston, with fantastic amenities on the doorstep. This brand-new development currently has a selection of three and four bedroom homes aimed more towards young families, working professionals and second steppers.
Positioned slightly further south is Wigston Meadows at Kilby Bridge, which currently has a selection of three, four and five bedroom homes perfect for large families. Residents can enjoy the best of both worlds, with semi-rural living at home while still being well connected to major towns and cities.
Martyn Parker, Sales Director at Barratt Homes North Midlands, said: “Our homes in a variety of styles at both developments in Wigston are ideal for all buyers, whether they are growing families searching for their forever home, or first-time buyers looking to take the first step onto the property ladder.”
For those with young families, there is a range of well-regarded schooling options in proximity including Thythorn Field Primary School, The Meadow Community Primary School and Birkett House Special School.
Anyone wishing to commute can also take advantage of great road and rail links through the M1 and M69, as well as Leicester Train Station which can reach London St Pancras station in little over an hour.
Wigston Meadows currently has a selection of three and four bedroom homes, with prices starting at £324.995. Wigston Meadows at Kilby Bridge currently has a selection of three, four and five bedroom homes, with prices starting at £309.995.
