New Houses For Sale In Somerset - May 2011 Update

A number of quality new build homes in Somerset are springing up in some of the county's most popular locations, including the lively towns of Taunton and Yeovil, and quieter village locations such as Street, near Glastonbury.

Taunton : Somerset's historic county town, Taunton, is a firm favourite in which to find a property ideal for the family - offering an attractive environment, good schools, a range of employment opportunities, and a lively town centre with a decent choice of shops and entertainment.

The stylish Langford Mead development by David Wilson Homes, situated off Silk Mills Lane, offers a blend of house styles including spacious two-, three-, four-, and five-bedroom contemporary homes, ranging in price from £199,950 to £419,950. Perched on the north-western edge of the town, the development offers easy access to the centre by car or from the nearby Park & Ride. The company's Head Start shared equity scheme can help first-time buyers get their foot in the door, while for existing home owners there's part exchange available, or the Movemaker scheme whereby David Wilson Homes deals with the estate agent on your behalf.

Also arriving soon in Taunton is the exciting Tangier waterfront development of around 200 contemporary apartments from Linden Homes. Set within landscaped grounds, Tangier will contribute to Project Taunton, the town's ambitious regeneration scheme. Schemes such as Easy Start and the new, Government-backed FirstBuy can help first-time buyers by assisting with their legal arrangements or contributing towards the cost of the deposit.
