Property Details

The properties at The Cornish Quarter are designed around open-plan living principles, with a focus on flow and plentiful storage integrated into the layout. Many house types feature bifold doors, offering the potential to extend the main living area into the garden. Buyers have access to the Bovis Homes 'Select' range, providing customisation options for interior finishes prior to completion, including a selection of kitchen worktops, modern integrated appliances, flooring choices (such as carpets, Karndean, and vinyl), and built-in wardrobes. All new homes are covered by a 10-year warranty. A four-bedroom 'Aspen' show home has been available for viewing to demonstrate the finish and specification.

Practical Information

The Cornish Quarter offers a mix of full ownership and Shared Ownership new build homes, with purchase assistance schemes such as Home Exchange and other incentives frequently advertised by the developer. The developer, Bovis Homes (part of the Vistry Group), has a long history in the UK housebuilding sector, though prospective buyers are advised to conduct their own due diligence, as online reviews regarding build quality and post-completion customer service across the developer's wider portfolio have been mixed.
