Pre-launch sales success for new Farnham apartments

At Cobbett Place, a collection of fifteen 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in Farnham, a charming Surrey market town, two of the homes have already been snapped up before the launch of a Show Home.

It seems the development's combination of a convenient location, spacious accommodation and Millgate Homes' distinctive style has hit a chord with its target market of discerning downsizers as Sales Manager, Mandie Whelan, explains:

"Farnham is understandably a popular address – it offers a perfect balance between old-world charm and great transport links, so we always anticipated high levels of interest in Cobbett Place. The fact that two of the apartments have sold ahead of the Show Home launch, especially in a still-cautious market, shows just what an exceptional opportunity these apartments represent.

"There's a real pent-up demand for sizable apartments in Farnham for those who want to downsize, but who don't want to compromise on internal space and style. We'd strongly recommend that interested parties register their interest now, as we are expecting a lot of additional interest once the Show Home launches on 15th January."

With the upcoming unveiling of the new Show Home, visitors will be able to get a real feel for what life could be like at Cobbett Place. The Show Home itself, located on the ground floor, will give visitors a sense of the impressive space offered by these new apartments. It will also illustrate the opulent specification for which Millgate Homes is renowned. Bespoke kitchens are fitted with solid oak shaker style doors, complemented by stone worktops and upstands and a range of Siemens appliances in a natural steel finish, that include a multi-function oven, extractor hood, microwave oven, an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

Visitors will also get a feel for the elegant communal areas – both indoor and out – at Cobbett Place. The beautifully landscaped grounds come complete with a lovely refurbished summer house and 'breeze house' in which residents can while away long summer afternoons with a good book, while most of the apartments in Farnham also enjoy a patio area or balcony – perfect for a morning coffee or dining alfresco.

In terms of its location, Cobbett Place is just as impressive. Farnham town centre, with its good range of amenities, boutique shops, coffee houses and eateries, is roughly 1 mile distant*. While its train station - which offers direct services to London Waterloo in under an hour** - lies within 0.7 miles*.

The selection of apartments on offer at this new address also makes it stand out. Of the fifteen apartments at Cobbett Place, fourteen are 2 bedroom and arranged over the ground, first and second floors and one is a 3 bedroom penthouse. Plus, there is a choice of layouts, including open-plan living areas and more traditional accommodation. The three apartments situated on the second floor, all come with their own garage and parking space, while the other apartments all benefit from a parking space and additional visitor parking.

Prices for these new apartments in Farnham range from £350,000 - £750,000. The new Show Home, set to launch on Saturday, 15th January, will be open daily from 10am-4pm from thereon. For further information or to register your interest, contact selling agent Hamptons International on 01252 714164.
