According to a recent survey, two-thirds of young people without their own home believe they have no prospect of getting on to the property ladder*. However, buyers in Kent are being thrown a lifeline thanks to the Government-backed HomeBuy Direct initiative at Crest Nicholson’s stunning new phase of homes Papermill Walk at Ingress Park in Greenhithe. Thanks to the scheme, buyers will be able to own their own one or two bedroom property for just 70% of the price.
HomeBuy Direct is designed to be a ‘stepping stone’ for home owners. Buyers are able to move into their brand new one or two bedroom homes at Papermill Walk for just 70% of the property’s asking price - yet still own 100% of the property straightaway.** An attractive one-bedroom coach house priced at £174,500 therefore, becomes a more affordable £122,150 and a two-bedroom home priced at £249,500 becomes £174,650.
Annette Cole, Sales & Marketing Director for Crest Nicholson Eastern, said: “It is widely known that first time buyers are still struggling to get a foot on the property ladder, but with HomeBuy Direct we hope to give more people the opportunity to own their own one or two bedroom home. Ingress Park has continued to be a popular development through every stage of new homes and Papermill Walk is no exception. There are homes to suit all types of first time buyer from commuters who can use the High Speed 1 train link to young families who can enjoy the beautiful grounds of Ingress Park and riverside walks.”
Papermill Walk offers properties to suit all types of homebuyer and comprises one and two-bedroom coach houses and apartments, two and three-bedroom cottages and three and four-bedroom houses in a range of styles.
Papermill Walk will be the last small neighbourhood offering both houses and apartments, to be built at Ingress Park and the design of this phase has been carefully created to offer a community way of life, including some desirable detached homes which are highly sought after in the area. Many of the properties on offer have a balcony or terrace for residents to enjoy the views either of the river or across the grounds and rooftops of Ingress Park.
Set in 72 acres of mature grounds, Ingress Park boasts a regenerated riverside walk and heritage trail. A further unique feature is the grass amphitheatre, a focus for community events and summer picnics. The development is also just 2.9 miles from Ebbsfleet International Station which offers direct services to London St Pancras in just 17 minutes.
All homes have a stylish modern finish with Commodore kitchens, which come complete with a range of integrated stainless steel Bosch appliances including oven, hob, extractor hood and fridge/freezer. Bathrooms and en-suites feature Villeroy and Boch sanitaryware and are finished with smart chrome Hansgrohe accessories. Homes also come with a two year customer care promise and a ten year warranty from the National House Building Council (NHBC).
In addition to Ebbsfleet International Station, nearby Greenhithe Station also provides fast and efficient services to Waterloo East (43 minutes), London Bridge (45 minutes), London Cannon Street and London Charing Cross (50 minutes) and London Victoria (60-90 minutes). Residents can also benefit from being able to join the motorway network at Junction 1A of the M25 for easy connections to all major UK airports.
Prices at the development start at £174,500 for a one bedroom coach house, £249,500 for a two bedroom house and £289,000 for a three bedroom house.
