New development offers modern accommodation
10:36am Wednesday 14th May 2008
A NEW housing development, utilising state of the art building techniques, has been showcased.
Blenheim Place is a small development from Antler Homes comprising just four family houses, backing on to Coate Water.
Families and local dignitaries flocked to view the show house, off Marlborough Road, which had the finishing touches applied only hours before the opening.
The houses, which are available from £795,000, were officially opened by incoming mayor Coun Steve Wakefield.
He said: "I am very pleased to open the development and I've been very impressed looking around the show house.
"I'm especially interested because Swindon workers were involved in this, and it showcases the skills we have in Swindon."
Coun Mike Bawden (Old Town and Lawn) was given a guided tour of the luxury five-bedroomed show house.
He said: "I would like to congratulate the builders on their choice of design and the materials they have used in the construction."
Robert Skerton of Henry George Estate Agents said: "This is a prime location, so close to Old Town but with the M4 only a short distance away.
"We've had a tremendous response already. People were queuing up waiting for the doors to open."

"Blenheim Place"
"Blenheim Palace??"
"No no, just Place"
I'm sure they're lovely houses but what complete cheesemonger came up with that street name??? Adds tacky to what should exude nothing but quality

Certainly close to the M4 but you cannot access it from there!

from £795,000
You would need the accommodation and expense accounts of a MP to afford one of those.

A look on Rightmove reveals that you can pick up a massive house with large grounds on Bath or Westlecot Road for 1/2 - 2/3 the cost of these.

I can't see too many people with £800k to spend deliberately choosing to live here though.
