'FIT' NEW HOMES AT HAWKINGE FLAGSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Local house builder, Pentland Homes, has introduced a unique scheme for home buyers at its flagship Bayeuxfields development at Hawkinge, near Folkestone.

The FIT (flexible interior treatment) scheme gives home buyers an opportunity to re-configure the interior layout of their new Pentland Homes’ property to suit their lifestyle.

Depending o­n the build stage, and subject to Pentland Homes’ terms and conditions, purchasers can choose the size, shape and location of the rooms within the building’s shell. Working with Pentland Homes’ design team, buyers can add, remove or re-locate interior walls and services to tailor-make the living space they require.

Martin Hart, managing director of Pentland Homes, said: “Most people looking for a new-build home soon realise that they will have to compromise over some aspect of the interior design. Do they really want a four bed house, or do they want the space that a four bed house provides?

“FIT is the first scheme of its kind to put purchasers right at the heart of the design process. It offers buyers a unique opportunity to influence how their property looks and feels and create interiors that really suit their needs.”

Home buyers who purchase a Pentland property with the FIT option also have an opportunity to re-configure the layout of their home at a later date during their occupancy, depending o­n the house type and Pentland Homes’ terms and conditions.

Mr and Mrs Tandy from Hawkinge, who have purchased a ‘Leeds’ three bedroom townhouse at Bayeuxfields using the FIT option, said: "It’s as close as you can get to designing your own home. FIT is a really good option. We want to stay in this house and it's a bonus knowing that in seven or ten years' time, we'll be able to change the room layout again if we want to."

Bayeuxfields is close to local amenities at Hawkinge, and within easy reach of the M20, the Eurotunnel terminal and Folkestone station, which will be less than o­ne hour’s journey time from London when the high speed rail link comes o­n track in 2009.

The 78 properties at Bayeuxfields include a variety of house types, ranging from o­ne bedroom apartments to five bed detached houses. A two bed apartment starts from £159,000. For further information, telephone 01303 893080.
