Despite a regular flow of negative media coverage about the state of the housing market, demand for homes is still outstripping supply at The Thatchams, a stunning development of new homes at Priors Green, near Great Dunmow, Essex. To help sate this ongoing demand, award winning housebuilder, Countryside Properties, is bringing an additional 20 new homes on to the build schedule for 2008.
Suzanne Hunt, Head of Sales and Marketing, Countryside Properties, comments: “The Thatchams is outperforming company sales forecasts, consistently selling at 40 per cent above our monthly targets. It is very exciting to watch this development grow and thrive as a new community is created. Although there is no doubt that the market this year will be tough, the level of interest we continue to see at The Thatchams is by no means an anomaly; in fact we are seeing strong sales across this region. The well designed homes, superior build quality and attention to detail for which Countryside Properties is renowned, combined with an excellent location close to the M11, has resulted in the development’s ongoing success.”
The Thatchams occupies a prominent position within the village of Priors Green, located on the outskirts of the popular village of Little Canfield. Two village ponds front the development and the two, three and four bedroom houses flank tree-lined boulevards. There are also two landscaped children’s play areas at the heart of the development.
Externally the properties utilise the best elements of traditional architectural design. The colourful streetscape is home to 11 different house types which combine red brickwork, buttermilk rendering, white weather boarding and red clay and grey slate roof tiles, all influenced by the local architectural vernacular. Varied rooflines, bay windows, dormer windows and porches give the development a strong character.
Internally each property has been designed with the buyer in mind. Great emphasis has been placed on creating well proportioned, light and airy living spaces. Houses feature open plan kitchen/breakfast or kitchen/living areas, with doors leading onto a garden. Master bedrooms have either fitted wardrobes or dressing rooms and an en-suite shower or bathroom fitted with sleek white sanitary ware and chrome fixtures and fittings.
Every property at The Thatchams has an EcoHomes rating of Good and incorporates eco-friendly features, including dual flush toilets and water butts in the garden, designed to help residents play their part in preserving the environment without impacting on their daily lives.
