Station Island, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire NN8 1UD
Stonewater is proud to present 128 new homes at Station Island on the outskirts of the popular Northamptonshire market town of Wellingborough, 39 of which will be available through shared ownership. The initial collection of shared ownership homes on offer comprises two bedroom terraced and end-of-terrace houses and three-storey, four bedroom town houses. In keeping with the rest of the development each will feature modern energy efficiency measures including air source heat pumps and photovoltaic panels which are not only good for the environment but may also help to reduce energy bills.
The two bedroom houses offer a spacious separate kitchen/dining room on the ground floor together with a useful cloakroom with WC and handbasin and a large living room with doors opening on to the rear garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The four bedroom town houses are available with two varying interior configurations; both offer a separate kitchen/dining room on the ground floor together with a cloakroom with WC and handbasin and a large living room with doors opening on to the rear garden. One house type then offers four bedrooms spread evenly over the first and second floors, complemented by a family shower room on the first floor and an en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom on the second. The other has three bedrooms plus a family bathroom on the first floor and a single master bedroom with en-suite shower room on the second. Each house, whether two or four bedroom, benefits from allocated off-street parking for two vehicles.
Wellingborough is a town in the south east corner of Northamptonshire which offers a relaxed, market-town atmosphere surrounded by beautiful open countryside. The town is home to a variety of pubs, bars and restaurants as well as shops.
