THE show home at King’s Square, a new development of 58 homes in Taunton, will officially open on Saturday, April 16 at 10am.

Built by Arc Homes on the former playing fields of King’s College, one of Taunton’s leading private schools, King’s Square offers buyers something very different from other new homes sites in the area.

It is the only new development being built so close to the town centre and will feature a superbly designed central square with landscaped gardens, reminiscent of a traditional London square. It will have gated, secure entry so that the homes can only be accessed by residents and expected guests or visitors.

Situated in the sought-after TA1 area of central Taunton, just off South Road, residents will have the convenience of two car parking spaces yet will still be within easy walking distance to the town centre and Vivary Park.

King’s Square offers a collection of one-bedroom bungalows and three, four and five-bedroom homes within this walled development. Although close to the town, many of the properties also boast delightful views over the surrounding nearby countryside, with the Blackdown Hills in the distance.

Arc Homes are delighted to be developing this project and have appointed Kier Living to build the development. This is Arc’s third development in Taunton over the last few years. They have completed other schemes in Bristol too. Their award winning parent company has built hundreds of homes throughout the south west over the last 40 years.

Arc Homes have pushed the boundaries in terms of standard specification at King’s Square, with locally sourced quality kitchens from Mayflower, which will have features included as standard that would normally be extras, such as built-in wine coolers, and Bosch appliances that include integrated washing machines, dishwashers, fridges/ freezers, ovens, hobs and cooker hoods. There is also a choice of granite or quartz work surfaces and ceramic tiles. Bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms will have Duravit sanitary ware with Hansgrohe mono basin mixer taps and Vado bath /shower mixers. Staircases have solid oak handrails and wardrobes will be fitted as standard in selected bedrooms. Gardens are lawned and will include a garden cabin with power and lighting suitable for hobbies, a workshop or office space.

For peace of mind, the properties come with a 10 year NHBC warranty and are energy efficient with high performance ‘A’ rated boilers supplying the gas fired central heating with ‘Nest’ thermostats. Other energy saving features include double glazed windows and low energy lightbulbs.

A number of homes have already been reserved off plan with further plots being released on the launch day. Buyers will have the opportunity to look around the newly furnished show homes, beautifully designed by a local interior designer.

Demand is expected to be high for such a prestigious development and Arc Homes encourage any potential purchasers to come along to the show home opening on April 16 to speak to their sales advisors and find out more. Alternatively they can contact them on 01823-286161 before hand at the marketing agents Fox & Sons Estate Agents, in East Street, where they have also got a scaled model which shows the development in its entirety.

The show home and sales suite will officially open at 10am on Saturday, April 16, and will then be open daily between 10am and 5pm.
