What are buyers looking for in a new build home?

04 Oct 17

Fenn Wright has recently released the second phase of an exclusive collection of 13 high-specification Edwardian style homes at Harold Grove, Frinton-on-Sea. 

Glenmore is a stylish development of apartments from award winning SeaGrove Homes and offer some of Frinton-on-Sea’s best positioned seaside properties. 

Allison Courtney, director of SeaGrove Homes said: “Location is vital when it comes to the success of a development and the new homes must sit well within the surroundings. 

“A trend we’ve seen gain momentum is the preference for new developments rather than traditional bungalows, especially among those who are looking to downsize. With apartments there is no need to maintain a garden and people like good sized accommodation that is manageable.

As we get older, we become increasingly aware of the way we and those around us drive and bearing this in mind, SeaGrove Homes has installed mobility scooter charging areas and under-cover bike storage. Glenmore Apartments is also protected by a 10 year NHBC Buildmark Warranty, giving you peace of mind and leaving you free to enjoy living in your home.

With Glenmore Apartments situated a short walk from the town centre’s independent shops on Connaught Avenue and a stone’s throw from the beach, it’s not difficult to see why these homes are in high demand. The development comprises of 12 two bedroom apartments and a two/three bedroom duplex, of which two of the available second floor apartments boast far reaching sea views. Glenmore presents an opportunity for buyers looking to relocate to a beautiful seaside town that has been awarded for its outstanding cleanliness.

Frinton has maintained its reputation as a quiet family resort and has grown from approximately seventy houses back in the 1890s to a population of just over ten thousand residents. 

Each home has been cleverly designed to maximise natural light and the tranquil seaside setting. Interiors combine open-plan layouts and large windows with a stylish, high quality specification. Luxury finishes include fitted kitchens with integrated Smeg fridge freezer, en-suite shower rooms and fitted wardrobes in the master bedrooms and the latest zoned gas under-floor heating for maximum energy efficiency.
 
Allison continued: “What truly makes Glenmore Apartments stand out is the quality of the build, the size of each home, its prime location and most importantly that each unit is unique.

“Another big draw for potential buyers is that we offer the lowest service charges in Frinton-on-Sea, the running costs of our apartments are lower and the building itself is very secure; the communal garden even has a coded gate to ensure only residents enjoy the grounds.”

Homes in the Glenmore Apartments development are on the market from £340,000. For more information please contact our new homes team.
