Orion Homes have enjoyed an exceptional response to the launch of our latest development, with five properties sold on the opening weekend at Mount Vernon Place in Barnsley.
A combination of factors has attracted instant demand off-plan, including a desirable location on the edge of the town centre and the generous space and specification offered within a choice of two, three and four bedroom homes.
Variety and value
Orion Homes have given careful thought to the mix of styles offered at Mount Vernon Place. The development features a wide variety of designs serving a broad spectrum of preferences and budgets, from first-time buyers to growing families seeking extra space and luxury. While they vary in size and layout, all homes share a common characteristic: outstanding value for money.
The current releases provide ample illustration of that value. Available for £219,995, the three bedroom semi-detached Bamburgh is priced within reach of many purchasers taking their first or second step on the property ladder. The investment in quality that comes with that price is immediately apparent on the ground floor, where a sizable entrance hallway leads to a downstairs cloakroom, a beautiful contemporary kitchen and an open-plan lounge/dining area which overlooks the rear garden through tri-slide doors. Utilising a triple-track mechanism, the doors seamlessly merge the indoor and outdoor space in the summer months while maximising the benefits of natural light all-year-round.
The Bamburgh’s kitchen also has plenty of admirable features including a range of modern fixtures and appliances as standard:
- AEG Brushed steel oven, gas hobs and chimney hood
- AEG dishwasher and fridge/freezer
- LED lights underneath wall cupboards.
- Recessed downlighters to ceiling.
- USB sockets.
- Units, work surfaces, floor tiling and wall tiling available in a huge range of styles.
Upstairs, the Bamburgh offers more evidence of Orion Homes’ attention to detail, including USB sockets to all three bedrooms and a TV point to the master bedroom. Heated towel rails are included to the luxurious family bathroom and the en-suite to the master bedroom, where a vast range of floor and wall tiling allows homebuyers to apply their favoured styles and personalise the aesthetics to their tastes.
Energy saving design
At a time when energy bills are soaring, it has never been more valuable to have a home that’s designed and built with energy-efficiency in mind. Orion Homes take great care to incorporate advanced energy performance and air tightness into every home we build, with technology and materials that reduce your carbon footprint and the cost of heating your property. At Mount Vernon Place, each home benefits from that approach, offering these bill-busting features as standard:
- Energy-efficient cylinder or combi boiler.
- Dual Zone heating allowing different heat/timer settings for living areas and bedrooms to avoid energy waste in unoccupied rooms.
- Pendant lights and external lighting fitted with low energy bulbs.
- PVCu windows with Argon filled low E glass to increase thermal energy efficiency and sound proofing.
- Excellent wall and roof insulation for maximum heat retention.
Aspire to bigger and better with Help to Buy
Earlier this year, the government narrowed the availability of Help to Buy, but this popular scheme is still an option for first-time buyers. Combined with a 5% deposit, the government’s equity loan of 20% enables a 75% mortgage and access to more competitive rates. The equity loan is interest-free for five years and can be repaid at any time. At Mount Vernon Place, Help to Buy will allow many purchasers to aspire to bigger and better in their dream of home ownership. It could reduce the initial price of property to just £175,996, giving homebuyers a chance to get a foothold on the property ladder with an investment in a spacious three bedroom family home.
The personal touch
Over 40 years in housebuilding has given Orion Homes an acute appreciation of the desires of our homebuyers. We understand how they picture themselves enjoying their new home, how they want their space to function and how they see it adapting to their changing needs over the years. That said, we also appreciate that everyone is unique, and some of our customers may want to add a personal touch which may not be covered in our standard specification. With that in mind, we provide our Finishing Touches range of upgrades which enable them to express their individuality and add that extra detail that reflects their specific needs or tastes. At Mount Vernon Place, Our Sales Advisor is on hand to explain and discuss a multitude of options available to ensure that our homebuyers can apply their own stamp.
A lifestyle location
As with every Orion Homes development, Mount Vernon Place benefits from our experience in finding and securing the region’s best locations to meet the lifestyle needs of our homebuyers. The town centre is less than five minutes away, providing easy access to Morrisons supermarket, Alhambra Shopping Centre and a wide range of everyday amenities.
Also nearby is the A6195 Dearne Valley Parkway and the Cortonwood Shopping Park offering a choice of major high street names, from H&M to M&S. The development enjoys excellent commuter connections by road and rail: Barnsley Train Station can be reached in less than half an hour on foot and the M1 is less than 10 minutes’ drive away.
