Brough Couple Go Against the Grain to Upsize into Their Dream Bellway Home

While many people choose to down-size later in life, Clare and Neil Shaw from Willerby decided to do the exact opposite, by upsizing to their dream four-bedroom home at Bellway’s Palmer’s Grange development in Brough.   The couple, who are both in their 60’s, have moved into a detached home on the 320-home development using Bellway’s Part Exchange scheme, making what they anticipated to be one of the most stressful times in their lives surprisingly straightforward.   Their decision to upsize came following a family bereavement, with the couple looking for a positive new chapter and somewhere new to call home.   Clare said: “It’s been over 25 years since we last moved and we thought the whole process would be really stressful and really, really hard, but it couldn’t have been easier. The Part Exchange scheme took all of the stress away, and everyone at Bellway has been fantastic, especially the sales advisor Amy. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without her.”   Clare said: “Seeing our new home for the first time was like when you draw your dream house when you’re little, everything was perfect and it ticked all the boxes on our wish list, which made the decision to buy it relatively easy – even if some of our friends have pointed out that people in their 60’s really should be downsizing!”   Melanie Smith, sales director for Bellway Yorkshire, said: “Clare and Neil’s story shows that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to moving house. While many buyers look to downsize later in life, Clare and Neil clearly wanted their something new to have extra space to enjoy.”   The house Clare and Neil have purchased, is a four-bedroom Bowyer, featuring an open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, a separate living room and an ensuite and family bathroom.   Palmer’s Grange is part of the £200 million Brough South project. Being built off Brough’s Blenheim Avenue. It includes 169 units of two-bedroom bungalows and three, four and five-bedroom semi-detached and detached homes. Only one home remains on the development, a four-bed Goldsmith at £384,995. This property is ready to move into with upgraded specification worth over £17,000 and stamp duty paid.   All of Bellway’s homes are built with today’s buyers in mind; offering modern layouts, high-quality finishes and flexible living spaces that suit contemporary lifestyles. All newly built Bellway homes also include an array of energy-saving features, such as solar PV panels, EV car chargers, Smart Thermostats and increased insulation – all of which help cut the costs of running a home.   For further information visit https://www.bellway.co.uk/new-homes/yorkshire/palmers-grange or call 0113 3900 800, the opening hours are Monday 10:00-17:00, Thursday 10:00-19:00, Friday 10:00-17:00, Saturday 11:00-17:00 and Sunday 11:00-17:00
