Providing for the family

Reading the property pages of late one would be forgiven for being a little confused as to where the demand and necessity lies. One day the headlines are shouting about the dearth of new homes for first time buyers; the next the lack of housing suitable for growing families.
The government is quite rightly calling for new homes and slowly upping the quota for each local authority and house builders are responding – increasing their build programmes to provide for the new requirements – yet opinion seems divided on how big or small these new homes should be.
At our niche Coppice Rise development in Chapeltown, we have decided to play it safe and provide a mix of one and two bedroom apartments – all of which have now been sold to both young professionals and downsizers – and a selection of four, five and six bedroom houses which have appealed greatly to the family market of which just five are remaining priced from £340,000.
With proximity to schools crucial for those in the market for a family home, the prime location of Coppice Rise has been a big hit with family purchasers to date. The scheme falls within the catchment area of the highly regarded including Lound Infant and Primary school and Ecclesfield Primary and Secondary schools. And, according to the national house builder, this has been a decisive factor in attracting families to the development.
Marjorie Gregory, Sales Director at Bloor Homes East Midlands region explained: “Chapeltown is a desirable Yorkshire town with a first-class reputation and an identity of its own. The area has typically proved popular with those keen to put down roots in a safe and secure environment which is rich in local amenities and has a lot to offer growing families. Add to this the appeal of living near to good schools and it is easy to see why Coppice Rise has quickly become a sought-after address. What’s more, each individual home at Coppice Rise has been designed to be sympathetic to the needs of the family market, with a flexible layout and an interior specification suitable for the demands of modern living.”
The five remaining family homes have double en suites, double garages and sizeable gardens making them ideal for family needs. The layout too has been specifically thought about for the family purchaser, with the some homes providing breakfast kitchens, extra storage in the form of fitted wardrobes and multiple reception rooms should reduce the number of arguments over the television come the evening.
Located just ten minutes from junction 35a of M1 and on the edge of Chapeltown, Coppice Rise is a highly exclusive development of just 35 newly built homes set beside Hesley Wood and a swathe of greenbelt land.
