A PAIR of luxuriously appointed, detached dormer bungalows has been released by housebuilder Story Homes at Greengate Meadow in Levens.

The three-bedroom Banbury bungalows sit alongside a range of three, four and five-bedroom houses on the 49-home development.

"With only two Banbury bungalows available, customers will have to act fast if they wish to snap up these exclusive homes which showcase luxury living in Levens," said Story Homes sales manager Clare Wilson.

"Greengate Meadow offers a range of homes to suit every type of buyer in this picturesque village. We hope that our customers will be excited to see what we have to offer."

The bungalows offer light, airy and spacious lounges at the back, with bi-fold doors leading out to a patio and turfed garden, and they have detached single garages.

Buyers can choose from a range of classic or contemporary kitchens complete with built-in stainless steel double oven and gas hob, fridge-freezer and dishwasher.

The ground floor offers two double bedrooms, while the dormer is home to an en-suite master bedroom with walk-in cupboards.

Family bathrooms and en-suites are fitted with dual-flow showers, wall-hung vanity basins and de luxe Porcelanosa tiling.

Story Homes offers the government's Help to Buy scheme, which aims to help buyers who have a deposit of at least five per cent to buy a new home. The government will lend up to 20 per cent of the property's value in the form of an equity loan, meaning buyers only need to secure a 75 per cent mortgage.

The equity loan is interest-free for five years and can be paid back at any time, or when the house is sold. The scheme is available to help all home buyers in England, not just first-time buyers, on new homes up to the value of £600,000.

The four-bedroom Taunton show home and marketing suite at Greengate Meadow is open Thursday to Monday from 10.30am to 5.30pm, or visit www.storyhomes.co.uk to find out more.
