Landguard Place In The Heart Of Southampton Begins To Come Alive
29 Aug 2013

Landguard Place is the latest chapter in the story of Park Centrale, and with the new residents moving into these beautiful apartments and duplexes, the popular development in the heart of Southampton is beginning to come alive.

Landguard Place is, in every way, unusual. The location is unusually convenient. It is within very easy walking distance of the shops and boutiques of Bedford Place - but is set back from the road on one of the city’s residential streets.

The glamorous and spacious three bedroom duplexes – which means the rooms are arranged over two floors, have two of the bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has a really impressive ensuite shower room. There is also a separate bathroom. The third bedroom is downstairs along with the open plan kitchen and living area. All the duplex apartments come with their own parking spaces.

But Landguard Place offers a wide variety of different homes: Besides the duplexes, there are also 1 and 3 bedroom apartments available. The 3 bedroom apartments come with their own parking space and most of them have a terrace, balcony or pergola.

Tina Chalk is the marketing manager at Linden Homes Southern:

“Our three bedroom duplexes at Landguard Place, based on the ground floor, have their own front door onto the pavement. When you are inside, the space available over the two floors has the feel of a three bedroom house. It’s a clever design.

“The layout of the homes has been carefully thought out so that virtually no two apartments or duplexes are the same. There is a good selection of one, two and three bedroom homes arranged over the four floors of the building and each one has its own character.”

All these new homes at Landguard Place qualify for the Government’s new Help to Buy* scheme announced in the last Budget. This Government backed equity scheme enables buyers to purchase a new home with just 5% deposit and a 20% Government equity loan – a loan that can be repaid at any time within the first 25 years and it’s interest free for five years.

And it has already been taken up with enthusiasm by Linden Homes’ buyers.

Trevor Lepley bought his new four bedroom property from Linden Homes using Help to Buy – and was one of the first in the country to do so. He says he simply couldn’t have managed it without the scheme:

“There is no way I could have afforded a four bedroom house without Help to Buy. I secured a mortgage at 3.09% and my new home is only £90 more a month than the rent I was paying out for the two bedroom flat I was in previously - a flat that was a third of the size of my new house.”

Linden Homes’ sales and marketing suite is open every day from 10am to 5pm (on Fridays it is open until 4pm). If you would like to make an appointment first, need more information on Help to Buy or more details of the homes available at Landguard Place, please call 0845 602 3892.
