First release of homes from Annington offers buyers ideal work life balance

With the average house price in Shropshire reaching £256,115 according to figures from Rightmove*, prospective buyers looking for a home in the county will be pleasantly surprised by Annington’s first release of homes in the village of Tern Hill, near Market Drayton. Annington will be initially bringing to the market 12 two-bedroom semi-detached homes, with prices starting from just £139,950. The properties will be available to view from Friday 23rd July.

Annington will be lightly refurbishing a total of 18 two and three-bedroom homes to offer for sale on the open market. These rarely available former MOD properties offer an ideal opportunity for first time buyers looking to get onto the property ladder in the area, and are already proving popular with buyers hoping to reserve ahead of launch. However, the real unique factor for the two-bedroom properties is the additional upstairs study, alongside the two well-proportioned bedrooms. These home offices are an ideal solution for workers seeking a balance between home and office working, and provide a dedicated quiet space to work from home.

Louise Saunders, Sales and Marketing Manager at Annington, commented: “Our mission at Annington is to deliver homes directly to the communities that need them. This is reflected in our offering at Tern Hill, where we have already received lots of interest from eager local buyers, including those hoping to purchase their first home. We expect the properties to be particularly popular with young professionals, who are looking for a better work-life balance and need a quiet place to work from home a couple of days a week.”

Nestled in the picturesque Shropshire countryside, Tern Hill is a walker’s paradise, with trails leading through the nearby Buntingsdale Woods, alongside a footpath into the nearby town of Market Drayton. A local convenience store, café, and fish and chip shop are all within walking distance. However, Tern Hill is best known for its connections to Clive Barracks and the nearby RAF Tern Hill.

Johnathan Coombes, appointed agent at S&J Property Centre, adds: “It’s a very busy market and we expect these properties to hit hard with first time buyers and professional couples. Many people are still keen to buy now to make the most of good prices and low interest rates, and we don’t see that slowing down for the foreseeable future. Tern Hill is a great place to buy, with good links to larger towns, handy local amenities, and crucially some of these properties offer a bit of extra space and the flexibility to work from home thanks to the additional study.”

Market Drayton is just a short drive away, while the larger towns of Shrewsbury, Newcastle-Under-Lyme, and Stoke-On-Trent are within easy access thanks to key road links including the A41, M54 and M6 motorways, while the Welsh border is just a 25 minute drive away.

Prices at Tern Hill will start from £139,950 for a two-bedroom semi-detached home with an additional study. For more information about the homes for sale at Tern Hill, please contact the selling agent on 01630 806002 or visit www.s-j.co.uk.
