Homes in the idyllic Bedfordshire town of Ampthill are proving popular among families and downsizers looking to get more for their money. According to research by Rightmove, the average property price in Bedfordshire is 36.6% lower than in neighbouring Hertfordshire, and 15% lower than in Essex[1]. Only one five-bedroom townhouse, The Basswood, remains on the market at Storey Homes' Lime Tree Court and Storey Homes is currently offering to pay full Stamp Duty, making this last home even more appealing.

Lime Tree Court is an exclusive collection of 14 elegant townhouses which benefit from the privacy of a gated enclave. Designed across four storeys, The Basswood home includes spacious living areas, and an open-plan kitchen and dining area fitted with integrated appliances, that leads to a private landscaped rear garden. Perfect for modern family living, the house has many contemporary design features, including en suite bathrooms and dressing room areas in the two master bedrooms.

Katy Jordan, Managing Director of Storey Homes, comments: “Ampthill is a highly sought-after location as a charming, traditional Georgian town, yet still benefiting from affordable prices for homes.  The town has excellent transport connections to the capital which make it a great commuter destination. Having sold 13 out of 14 properties already, we are expecting The Basswood to be snapped up quickly, particularly with the offer of stamp duty being paid, representing a saving of £21,500.”

Just a short walk from the development, the Ampthill Charter Market trades every Thursday, having first been set up almost 800 years ago, in 1219. Also in the centre of Ampthill are a plethora of amenities including a range of boutique shops, restaurants and cafés. Fans of the great outdoors will be excited by the close proximity to Woburn Safari Park and Centre Parcs' newest retreat, Woburn Forest, which offers endless family entertainment. The town also plays host to a variety of sports including rugby, tennis, cricket and bowls.

Ampthill is easily accessible by road, via the A6 or M1. Trains run regularly from Flitwick Station – just a 10 minute drive or short bus ride away – and offer direct services to London St Pancras. Luton Airport is just 35 minutes away by car.

The Basswood at Lime Tree Court is priced at £630,000. For further details, visit www.storey-homes.co.uk.
