First-time buyer event at Moulton Chapel development formerly labelled a ‘ski slope’.

A first-time buyer event is set to be held at a new village development - which was formerly dubbed a ‘ski slope’.

The Chapel Gate site at Moulton Chapel courted controversy during its construction stage due to a raised entrance to the site, with residents arguing this would lead to properties overlooking their homes and water running down and flooding their gardens.

However, developer Allison Homes East were praised by South Holland District Council’s planning committe for listening to concerns and making amendments.

The development, which consists of a selection of three, four and five bedroom homes, including bungalows, is located on Roman Road.

The event will take place on Saturday and Sunday, March 15 and 16, from 10am to 5pm, and allow local property seekers to tour the development, view the available homes, speak to the sales executives and meet with independent financial advisors, who will be on hand to answer any questions about the buying process.

One of the homes attendees can discover is home number 184, The Fern, priced from £250,000, which opens into a spacious front-aspect living room, leading through to an enclosed entrance hall.

A hallway leads into the downstairs cloakroom and a separate utility room with direct access to the outdoors.

At the rear of the property is a modern U-shaped kitchen and an open-plan dining area, both of which open onto the garden via elegant French doors.

Upstairs, the main bedroom offers a serene and private space, featuring a built-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room. There is also a contemporary family bathroom and two additional bedrooms, a generous double and a spacious single.

Kelly Toms, sales and marketing director at Allison Homes East, said: “We are very excited to be hosting this event at Chapel Gate for first-time buyers.

“This is an excellent development with plenty of options that would be the perfect first home.

“I would highly encourage anyone who is interested in a home in the area to come along to find out more, our friendly sales team will be on hand to answer any questions.”
