Anyone looking to purchase a new home close to Plymouth City Centre can choose from two superb Persimmon Homes developments.

House-hunters can now buy off-plan to secure the last remaining unsold properties at the popular Montrose Gardens development at Manadon. Plus, just 11 properties now remain at Persimmon's Moorland Reach development in Belliver and homes are also selling fast a Meadowcroft, the company's latest development in Plympton.

Almost 90 homes at the Montrose Gardens scheme have been sold and the last 19 properties will not be available until February/March 2007.

“The whole development has sold very fast but it has been the apartments which have been particularly popular,” commented Katie Alderton, field sales manager for Persimmon Homes South West. “Many first-time buyers have been quick to purchase these as they provide an affordable chance to get onto the first rung of the housing ladder.”

“Montrose Gardens also offers a great investment opportunity as it's in a good location within easy reach of Plymouth City Centre. We expect investors will be very interested in these latest properties.” The homes to be completed next year include two coach houses with garages, two bedroom apartments with garages. Prices start from £152,950 with incentives for buyers who purchase off-plan. All benefit from a high internal specification including contemporary fitted kitchens and bathrooms.

Montrose Gardens is on Frobisher Approach less than three miles from Plymouth City Centre, and is close to a range of shops and leisure facilities.

Persimmon also has just 11 properties left for sale at its Moorland Reach development in Belliver. These include the three bedroom, three storey Topsham at £187,995 with deals available to pay stamp duty. Others available are a three bedroom semi with a single garage for £199,995, a two bedroom end terrace for £165,995 and a two bed mid terrace with garage for £164,495.

Nearby in Plympton, Meadowcroft is a select development of just 23 family homes set in a delightful leafy location. A new range of properties has just been released for sale at the development with prices starting from £167,995 for a two bedroom terrace in the Cumbria design. Ideal for families, the popular stannery town of Plympton boats boasts excellent local facilities including a range of popular schools.

Plymouth City Centre combines an area of great seafaring history with a lively city centre offering a broad range of high street and independent shops alongside a multiplex cinema, great sports facilities, acclaimed theatres and a wide choice of restaurants and bars.

Those looking to escape the rush of the city can explore the region's wonderful coastline and nearby Dartmoor National Park, a perfect location for countryside walks, cycle rides and outdoor pursuits.

Both Moorland Reach, Montrose Gardens and Meadowcroft are ideal for commuters as the A38 Devon Expressway links Plymouth with Exeter and the M5, while the city's rail connections provide fast and easy access to London and further afield.
