New Barratt Homes development in Herts entices buyers to launch event

Nearly 100 potential buyers attended the launch day at Gatekeeper Meadow in Watton-at-Stone this weekend, as Barratt Homes unveiled its latest development of new homes in Hertfordshire. Comprising 111 properties with one to five bedrooms, this much-anticipated new scheme now has a three-bedroom show home open on site for prospective buyers to look around. Prices on the first phase of houses for sale start at £334,950, for a three-bedroom property.

Chris Scarborough, sales director from Barratt North London, says: "We feel very confident about the popularity of the new homes launched on Saturday at Gatekeeper Meadow. Quality family homes in a sought-after location with good local schools will always appeal to homebuyers. With over 600 enquiries received ahead of launch and sales now underway I would encourage anyone interested in securing a new home in the initial phases to get in touch sooner rather than later."

Located in the Hertfordshire countryside between Hertford and Stevenage, Watton-at-Stone has good road links close by, including the A1(M), A10 and M25, putting it within easy reach of important commercial centres such as St Albans, Cambridge, Luton and London.

It also has a direct commuter rail link into London, taking under 50 minutes, making it an excellent option for commuters who need easy access to the capital but who hope to find a property in a countryside location. The station is only half a mile from Gatekeeper Meadow. The village has a handy range of everyday essential amenities, including a post office and doctor's surgery, and the added appeal of a couple of pubs.

With a range of property types to choose from, including apartments, coach houses, semi-detached houses and detached luxury homes, the development is set to appeal to a wide array of house hunters in the Hertfordshire area. Every buyer can expect light and spacious interior layouts, high-quality fitted kitchens and bathrooms and the extra peace of mind of a unique five-year guarantee on fixtures and fittings , over and above the usual ten-year warranty on the fabric of the building provided by the NHBC.

Gatekeeper Medow in Watton-at-Stone will comprise 111 new homes, with the first phase of three- and four-bedroom property types launched last weekend and priced from £334,950
