Owl Homes is currently offering first-time buyers a financial incentive for reserving a property at its Massey Place development in the Derbyshire village of Hilton.

This collection of 34 two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, launched in April this year, is less than 10 miles from Derby city centre and surrounded by countryside, with numerous village facilities close at hand, including a ‘Good’ Ofsted-rated primary school, cricket club, village hall, a church, and no fewer than three pubs.

Right now, Owl Homes is offering to pay £1,000 towards legal fees on selected plots at Massey Place for those buying a first home. There are currently two- and three-bedroom houses which could make an ideal first step on the property ladder, priced from £207,000 and £230,000 respectively.

The ‘Bracken’ is a charming two-bedroom home with two private parking spaces, which is priced from £207,000. On the ground floor is an extensive hallway, a cosy kitchen, cloakroom and an L-shaped lounge/diner with French doors leading out to the turfed rear garden. On the first floor there are two bright double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

‘Lewis Plus’

Another house type available under the special first-time buyer offer is the ‘Lewis Plus’. Available from £230,000, this semi-detached home has two private parking spaces to the front of the property and a good size garden. The ground floor includes a cloakroom, bright kitchen and large lounge, while upstairs is a smart family bathroom together with two double bedrooms, one with en suite.

Massey Place is only 12 minutes away from Burton-on-Trent and within just a few miles of numerous parks and protected areas of countryside, such as the National Forest. The area has plenty of amenities and leisure facilities for people of all ages and interests, from cinema and theatre to sport and nightclubbing. That’s in addition to an abundance of places to shop, eat and drink.

With transport, the A38 is easily accessible, offering links to Burton-on-Trent, Lichfield, Birmingham, Derby and the M1. For rail travel, Burton-on-Trent train station offers direct links to Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff and Penzance. From Derby there are direct trains to London St Pancras, Sheffield and Newcastle. For destinations further afield, East Midlands Airport is less than half-an-hour away, while Birmingham International Airport is around 50 minutes away by car.
