Elan brings bungalows back in Bewdley
New build bungalows are few and far between, but Elan Homes is changing that in Bewdley.
In a break from the industry norm, the homebuilder has included two single-storey properties in plans for its Sandbourne Gardens development, taking shape across 8.25 acres of land on Stourport Road.
The first of these is now on sale, offering the ideal solution for someone considering downsizing.
Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball said: “Research* suggests 38% of homeowners aged 55-plus would prefer a bungalow for their next move but while people have a great affection for bungalows, they’re perhaps the most rare type of property built in the UK. According to the NHBC, just 1% of all new homes built last year were bungalows and that figure includes properties on retirement developments or constructed for people with disabilities. We’re helping address that at Sandbourne Gardens in Bewdley where we’re building two bungalows.
“They’re perfect for those who want to downsize to a new home that’s easy to manage and efficient to run. Plus, our EasyMove scheme is available offering a quick and simple solution for homeowners who don’t want to worry about finding an agent to list their current property with. We’ll appoint the agent, monitor their activity and even pay their fees.”
The Hayward Special bungalow is a charming two-bedroom detached bungalow offering 657 sq ft of single-storey living space.
Priced from £350,000, the spacious lounge is on one side of the hallway, with a bedroom on the opposite side.
Nestled between the lounge and the second bedroom, which is at the rear of the property, is the bathroom.
The open plan kitchen and dining room benefits from direct access to the rear garden via French doors.
“The second bedroom means there’s still space for friends or family, perhaps the grandchildren, to stay over,” Tracey added.
“Or this space could be used as a home office, hobby room or gym depending on the buyer’s needs. A new home offers a blank canvas as to how you use the space with no preconceptions based on who lived there before.”
For those looking for a larger home, set out over two floors, Sandbourne Gardens also includes three, four and five-bedroom properties. Current prices range from £349,995 to £609,995.
Subject to build stage, buyers will be able to make their home their own from the start by selecting from a range of options and upgrades. This includes choosing the finish of the kitchen, bathroom tiles, wardrobes and flooring.
The new homes at Sandbourne Gardens are being built just a five-minute drive from Bewdley town centre. The nearby A456 offers easy access to Kidderminster and Birmingham, while Worcester is also a short drive away via the A449.
