Charlotte Place - The Perfect Choice for a Young Family June 2008

When Lee and Laura Jones were expecting their second child, they knew their days of renting soon were going to be behind them.

But what to do?  They certainly couldn’t afford to purchase a family home in Shrewsbury, their home town.  Afterall, that was why they had been renting for seven long years. Then Laura’s dad noticed an advertisement in a local newspaper for Charlotte Place - a new Bellway housing development less than 20 miles away in Ellesmere - and suggested that they should go along and have a look.

Thanks to dad’s intervention, Laura and Lee are now the proud owners of a brand new three bedroom Canterbury semi-detached home, being one of the first families to move into Charlotte Place.

Said Laura: “We have always wanted a place of our own, but didn’t think of looking outside of our immediate area until my dad came up with the idea on our behalf.

“As well as being more affordable than a similar property in Shrewsbury, we find Ellesmere so much quieter than where we used to live and we have been made to feel so welcome. Our oldest daughter, Lily, is now a member of the Duckling pre-school group at the local primary school, just a short walk away, and I am a full-time mum with baby Leah at home.  Lee, meanwhile,  continues to manage a creamery just outside of Shrewsbury.

“It all works so well for us as a young family – and we couldn’t be happier with our choice,” continued Laura.

Bellway Homes is building just 39 individually designed three and four homes at Charlotte Place with prices from £149,995. Presently Bellway is paying the five per cent deposit and other incentives are available on selected plots.

Charlotte Place is attracting a great deal of interest after the North Shropshire area was officially recognised by the Government as one of the safest places to live in Britain and indeed Europe.

The market town also boasts seven meres within six miles, a weekly market, excellent community facilities and schools.

The sales office is open daily from 10am until 5pm weekdays with a late night until 7pm on Thursday and from 11am until 5pm at weekends. For further information telephone the sales office on 01691 624296.
