Three four-bedroom designs and a five-bedroom detached property comprise the show home complex on the development that has been created with family living in mind. With a range of new show houses open at its development of new homes in Shrewsbury, Copthorne Grange, CALA Homes now has four different house types for potential buyers to view at this location in one of the town’s most sought-after areas.

One of the new show homes is the ‘Grassington’, a townhouse with four bedrooms set over three storeys, where the teal and gold colour scheme utilised by the professional interior designers has conjured up a contemporary but homely feel. Most of the ground floor is taken up by a large, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room that makes the perfect informal living space for a family and opens out onto the rear garden.

There’s a separate formal lounge upstairs, sharing the first floor with the master bedroom, which has its own en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. Three more double bedrooms and a bathroom are accommodated on the second floor. The ‘Grassington’ is priced from £284,950.

The ‘Gloucester’ is a viewhome with four bedrooms. Its layout includes a spacious, full-length living room opening out onto the garden and separate full-length kitchen/dining/family room, which has a utility room. Upstairs, the master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Three other bedrooms share a family bathroom. The ‘Gloucester’ carries a price tag of £324,950.

Copthorne Grange features large open spaces and a well-equipped children’s play area, providing a lovely environment for youngsters to enjoy themselves in. Designated cycleways make getting around the scheme safe and easy.

Prices at the development start at £150,000, rising to £370,000. CALA Homes offers a number of incentive schemes to help buyers, including a Deposit Paid initiative, a Stamp Duty Paid option and a 100% Full Market Value Part Exchange, which helps those trying to sell a home by purchasing it and coordinating the sale so that there’s a seamless move from the old property to the new. It’s been very popular with homeowners as it takes the stress out of selling and saves a fortune on estate agents’ fees.
