A surge in sales over the latest national lockdown has left just four homes remaining at an exclusive housing development on an historic site in Gedling.
Nottingham-based developer, Peter James Homes has said the speed at which purchases have been completed has exceeded all expectations.
The Hunters Wood development, off Wood Lane consists of 14 new homes, built in the grounds of the former Gedling Manor, which once hosted royalty.
All homes are significantly larger than average, with modern, open-plan designs and extremely high-quality finishing. The four remaining homes are all four or five bedroom properties, ranging in price from £520,000 to £630,000.
MaryClaire Morgan, sales manager of Peter James Homes, which has offices in Nottingham, said: “We know that people have put more thought into their homes and their local environment since the pandemic, and it somewhat changed our perspective on the work-life balance.
“But we’ve nevertheless been delighted and astonished at the phenomenal speed at which these luxury homes have been snapped up. It’s great news for us – and for the housing market in general.”
The rapid turnover of sales has largely occurred since a show home was made available for viewings in September.
Estate agent Kerri Bywater, of Nottingham-based William H Brown, which is marketing the development, believes it will be a matter of weeks before the final properties are sold.
“Enquiries and viewings remain at an extremely healthy level, despite Covid-19,” she said. “In fact, they are far higher than we would normally expect, perhaps because people feel safer viewing a new show home than entering someone’s private property.”
She added: “Given the huge success of the Hunters Wood development in such a short space of time, I would strongly urge anyone who is interested to get in touch with us quickly to avoid disappointment.”
The carefully crafted homes, which all have generous gardens, green spaces and parking, are close to Carlton Le Willows Academy. The school has been ranked in the top 20 per-cent of non-selective schools nationally.
