 All houses will be developed on a
turn-key arrangement whereby FBW
will design and build each house to a
high standard. Each house will be
fully finished, complete with fitted
kitchens and bathrooms and ready to
occupy (excluding furniture).
Phases 1 and 2 will be limited to
just eight detached houses, which are
to be offered at a discounted price to
encourage early commitment from
purchasers. A 10% payment from
prospective buyers will secure any
property before construction and will
allow owners an opportunity to
amend final designs and finishes.
