Home-hunters in Hampshire can take their first step on the property ladder when they choose from a beautiful selection of new apartments now on sale at Taylor Wimpey’s Strawberry Fields development in Locks Heath, Southampton.

The leading housebuilder has unveiled a stylish collection of two-bedroom apartments at Heath House, offering would-be buyers the chance to secure a stunning contemporary home in a sought-after location.

With prices starting at a very affordable £187,500, it’s the perfect opportunity for young buyers to ‘escape the parents’ and strike out on their own!

Fiona Creed, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We’re delighted to announce the launch of our highly-desirable two-bedroom apartments at Heath House, offering open-plan living within our beautiful Strawberry Fields development.

“These superb brand new properties are ideal for first-time buyers and investors, and because they’re brand new, there’s no need to work together on DIY projects that swallow up valuable time and money.

“We’re already experiencing plenty of interest, so anyone hoping to secure their slice of contemporary apartment living in Southampton should contact us without delay!”

The two-bedroom ground-floor ‘Plot 149’ apartment at Heath House, priced at £187,500, features an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, a spacious master bedroom with French doors leading to the communal gardens, a well-proportioned guest bedroom, a bathroom and a handy storage cupboard off the entrance hallway.

To make moving to Strawberry Fields even easier, Taylor Wimpey offers a range of homebuyer incentives, including the Help to Buy scheme, which enables first-time buyers and existing homeowners to secure a Government loan for up to 20% of their new home’s full price – so they only need a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a 5% deposit.

In the case of ‘Plot 149’, that means a first-time buyer needs a deposit of just £9,375 to secure this fabulous apartment.

The new homes at Strawberry Fields enjoy a peaceful location on the edge of Locks Heath. The homes border fields leading down to the banks of the tidal River Hamble, with its pretty marinas and tranquil shoreline walk along to Southampton Water.

Within walking distance is the 32-store Lockswood Centre, with a Waitrose and a host of amenities for day-to-day living, including shops and a medical centre.

The apartments are less than nine miles from the bustling city of Southampton, with excellent shopping at the West Quay Shopping Centre, top nightlife and a Premiership football club.

They are also brilliantly located for an impulsive trip to the seaside, whether it’s Bournemouth, Bognor, Brighton or the Isle of Wight.
