Beechcroft’s top tips for viewing a show home – and two new homes to view at Longcross Place, Wallingford

If you’re thinking of buying a new home and, particularly, if you’re downsizing, a visit to the development’s show home is a must. Not only does the show home provide an idea of the quality of the design, build and finish and attention to detail, it gives an idea of the space available, how the apartment looks when furnished and how it could be personalised.

The latest show home launch at Beechcroft’s Longcross Place development in Wallingford means that home buyers over the age of 55 will now be able to view three show homes.

The elegant drawing rooms in both show homes have been decorated in warm, neutral shades – think pale coffees and rich creams - with the emphasis on textured fabrics. In the kitchens, warm wood flooring provides a contrast to the clean lines of the bespoke, white kitchen cabinets whilst in the bedrooms, the creams and whites are highlighted by soft blue and grey accessories. The result in each show home is of light, space and a calm relaxed atmosphere.

“If you’re thinking of buying a new home, always look at the size of the furniture. At Beechcroft we design our homes to provide plenty of generously-proportioned living space that will accommodate larger pieces of furniture – of course, many of our home buyers decide to start afresh and the furniture and layout of the show homes offers inspiration,” comments Angela South, Beechcroft’s Sales and Marketing Director.

“You should always take a careful look at the positioning of radiators and electrical sockets. At our new Longcross Place development in Wallingford, you’ll find plenty of electrical sockets – as well as electric car charging in the car park. Underfloor heating to the apartments means walls are radiator-free which makes it easier to position furniture.”

"Our homes come complete with  flooring, including high quality carpets, a full range of integrated appliances, vanity units and mirrors in the bathrooms and en-suites and wardrobes to the principal and second bedroom. All our customers have to do is move in – and add their own curtains,  furniture and finishing touches.”

Designed exclusively for the over 55s, Longcross Place is a development of 23 apartments, set in beautifully landscaped communal gardens, just off Winterbrook, approximately half a mile from Wallingford town centre. Each new home has been designed to provide plenty of light filled living space along with a terrace, balcony or private garden. The communal lounge with its kitchenette and terrace, is the perfect place to socialise with friends and neighbours. An Estate Manager is on hand to manage the development, organise the cleaning and maintenance of communal areas and the upkeep of both private gardens and the landscaped setting.

At Longcross Place, prices start from £399,950 for a one-bedroom apartment with a large drawing room which opens onto a private balcony, a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a large walk-in cupboard and a shower room with vanity unit and mirror. Two-bedroom apartments currently start from £499,000 with a dual aspect drawing room, a terrace and private garden, an en-suite principal bedroom and a second bedroom, adjacent to the main bathroom. A utility room in the hallway, fitted with a washer/dryer, ensures that the weekly laundry can be tucked away out of sight.
