Modern Show Home Built In Portsmouth

Persimmon Homes South Coast have collaborated with designers to build a modern, fully furnished show home on the South Coast, which opens later this month.

The show home located in Parkside, Lower Drayton, will give potential buyers an idea of the type of home they can expect, with a selection of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes.

Mark Docherty, Sales Director for Persimmon Home South Coast, said: "It is always exciting when a new show home opens as it can put a real stamp on the feel of a development. This show home is due to later this month and we hope people will pop down and take a look. Buyers will be able to gain a real feel for what it would be like to live at Parkside."

The development, located in a northern suburb, has convenient transport links as well as being close to the New Forest and South Down National Parks.

Mr Docherty said: "A real draw for families is the selection of excellent educational facilties in this area, from nursery and infant provision, right through to respected secondary schools and colleges.

"The transport links from Parkside are fantastic. Cosham train station is a short walk away, the A27 connects to the M27 and M3 motorways, and for journeys further afield ferries link to France and Spain, and Southampton Airport has a good choice of European destinations.

Mr Docherty went on to say that interest in the development is very high, with sales improving at a constant rate.

Schemes to help people onto the property ladder are available under the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme. Under this initiative, it is possible to buy a new Persimmon Homes property with a deposit of 5%.
