High-spec show home and incentives attract homebuyers to Essex development

Property seekers in the south of Essex are being enticed to The Garrison in Shoeburyness, a new homes development from Country & Metropolitan Homes (C&M), with a series of incentives and a show home that demonstrates the higher level of interior specification that the developer has adopted.

The Garrison is taking shape on a former military site and will eventually comprise 465 new homes, a mix of stylish refurbishments and conversions alongside a range of sympathetically designed new-build homes. Gunners Rise, the current phase, is currently offering five-bedroom family homes, including the ‘Osborne’ house type, one of which is the show home on site. Prices for the substantial houses for sale at present start at £439,950, with the ‘Osborne’ at £499,950.

C&M sales and marketing director, Elaine Dufaur, says: “These new homes are absolutely stunning and our new specification, that now comes as standard, really sets them apart from the competition. Each property is extremely spacious and ideal for a range of buyers, including families and those looking to move up on the property ladder to a larger home.”

The ‘Osborne’ is set out over three floors. It has a large, convivial kitchen/dining/family room at the rear of the ground floor, flooded with light from full-height bi-fold doors to the garden and having access to the single integral garage. At the front of the house is a sitting room/study with a bay window. The family bathroom is on the first floor, along with a living room, two double bedrooms and a single bedroom. Bedroom two has its own en suite facilities and shares a balcony with the living room – great for enjoying views of the coast. On the top floor are two more double bedrooms, with the master bedroom having fitted wardrobes, an en suite shower room and a private balcony.

The home is built to C&M’s new specification, which includes a high-quality fitted kitchen with soft-close doors, an array of brand name appliances and abundant storage, stylish bathroom and en suite sanitaryware and fittings and bespoke internal doors and door furniture. Buyers can also choose from a wide selection of finishes and options to really personalise their new home.

House-hunters can see these new homes in Essex seven days a week, with the show home and marketing suite open from 10.00am to 5.00pm. The C&M team are on hand to discuss the incentive schemes available on this development too. The company is offering NewBuy mortgages on properties valued up to £500,000 and a part exchange option for those moving from an existing home but who want to avoid the hassle and expense of selling on the open market.
