New homes in Northampton are particularly affordable. The market town of Northampton is another key commuter belt for Birmingham or London workers in the East Midlands - the capital's just an hour away by train. It's a great cultural spot, boasting a range of theatres. And with property prices being reasonable, it's an ideal spot for the area's househunters to find a property.Bloor Homes South Midlands recently launched three- and four-bedroom homes for sale at its new development in Duston, Scholars Grange, with prices starting from 177,950 for a 3 bedroom property. Also in Duston, prices start at 129,995 at Trinity Green by Bellway for two-bedroom apartments for starter families, while a range of three-, four- and five-bedroom homes are also available. Part exchange is available for eligible buyers, who can get an up-to-date report on their current home's worth with our free property valuation tool.On a bus route into the town centre and located near Duston School, a specialist college in business, enterprise and sciences, there's also a good mix nearby of retail and recreational facilities at Sixfields leisure complex. Duston has its own library and medical centre, with a good range of restaurants and pubs available down the road in Northampton itself. Four miles from the centre of Northampton, the schemes are within easy reach of the M1, and to Rugby, accessible along the A428 which runs past Duston village.Moving closer into Northampton onto Weedon Road in Upton on the outskirts, Barratt Homes is selling a large four-bedroom property for 297,999 at Elysian Fields. Featuring two en-suite bathrooms, a downstairs study and separate dining room, five-bedroom houses are also available, priced from 286,999. With good transport links, located near the M1 and Northampton's railway station, Upton is within 4 miles of 60 schools, and a range of leisure and retail facilities.Hot off the press, Lagan Homes is set to launch a wide range of houses at Pearce Leatherworks in Billing, eastern Northampton in a new scheme of 120 homes in a project to convert the former factory. Prices are expected to start from 400,000 for the bigger family-sized properties, the four- and five-bedroom houses, which will be built in a mixture of Art Deco and Arts and Crafts designs to complement the factory's history, while the original faade of the factory will be retained.The factory, which originally opened in 1939, dyed leather for shoes, handbags and watch straps, and exported its goods all over the world, closed ten years ago after facing competition from the overseas market, and the developer is pleased to be bringing the site back into use, and using local labour to do so.Work has now started on the first phase of 18 homes. The scheme will officially launch in May. Interested would-be purchasers can nab an invite to the launch event by emailing Lagan Homes - do mention us when you contact them!
