This property market in Ashford is now much stronger than it has been at any time in the past year – that’s the message from local Estate Agent Aaron Smith of Townends. And it’s not just Aaron’s view, as the returning strength of the Ashford market was demonstrated with the sale of 2 maisonettes and 2 houses at Rushmon Homes’ Kingswood Close development within 3 weeks of the launch.

Located in Wrens Avenue, in the Borough of Spelthorne, Kingswood Close is a development of thirteen new homes. All properties are 2 storey in height and have designated parking spaces. The property mix includes two, 2 bedroom maisonettes, six 2 bedroom terraced houses, four 3 bedroom end of terrance houses and one 3 bedroom detached house.

Two bedroom terraced houses are priced from £224,950 and 3 bedroom end of terrace from £259,950. The 3 bedroom house willl be released for sale shortly at £325,00.

The ground floor of the 2 and 3 bedroom terraced houses contains a cloakroom, kitchen and living room. The first floor holds the linen cupboard, bedrooms, family bathroom and en-suite to master bedroom. Patio doors in the living room provide access to the patio area and garden. The majority of houses will provide residents views across the neighbouring field. The first residents are scheduled to move into their homes in July 2005.

The area has a higher than national average of owner occupied households. The 2001 Census shows the number of households in Spelthorne to have been 38,392, with 79.1% owner occupied compared with 68.9% in England and Wales.

Alan Taylor, Sales and Marketing Director of Rushmon Homes, said “The response to Kingswood Close has been hugely positive. We knew there was a high demand for new homes in Ashford, as prior to the sales launch we recived more than 50 telephone enquiries to our offices and a number of enquiries via our website. The houese are of a high quality design and construction standard and the overall development will provide a positive addition to the local area. Crucially the homes also provide excellent value for money”.

Ashford town centre has a wide range of shops that cater for most everydat needs. For more serious shopping expeditions a broader range of stores can be found in nearby Staines. With regular trains during the rush hour from Ashford staion to London Waterloo and journey times from 40 minutes, the location is very convenient for commuters to London.
