‘Storey Homes new builds’– Over the past year, buyers have flocked to rural areas in search of affordable housing and, more importantly, extra space. In fact, recent home-buyer research has indicated that of those surveyed, 40% cited ‘lack of space’ as the main reason their current home fails to cater for their needs, with a further 33% citing ‘lack of outdoor space’, and 22.7% stating ‘no dedicated space for working from home’ as their main qualms[1]. With this in mind, family-owned property developer, Storey Homes, is thrilled to introduce Bidwell Mews.
With show-homes launching this Autumn, and the development comprising a contemporary collection of two to five-bedroom detached and semi-detached houses, Bidwell Mews presents buyers with a uniquely affordable opportunity to own a high-quality, spacious home in Bedfordshire’s verdant countryside; with the added bonus of having their Stamp Duty paid for by Storey Homes.

The new settlement will provide a local centre, primary school, and sports pitches; in addition to all of the facilities available in Houghton Regis. Moreover, residents will benefit from a variety of amenities, green spaces, and travel connections in the neighbouring towns of Dunstable, Leighton and Luton.

We know that following the events of the last year, all buyers are reassessing their needs, and the search for space is driving buyers to rural locations like Houghton Regis. Along with impressive room sizes, many of the four and five-bedroom properties come with double garages and driveways. Selective plots also benefit from our with Stamp Duty paid incentive if they are reserved by July 30th.
