Owning a quality, three-bedroom townhouse at one of the most prestigious developments in Leicestershire just got easier for those looking to buy a new home.

Miller Homes East Midlands has announced this week that much sought-after Auden home at Augustus Park in Enderby is available through its affordable home-ownership scheme, MiWay.

The scheme works by offering those who qualify a long-term equity loan from the housebuilder, allowing them to pay 75 per cent of the purchase price for a new property, with the remaining 25 per cent payable at a later date.

This means that The Auden (Plot 20), which is for sale at £208,950 is actually available for £156,713 through MiWay, making the new home even more affordable for people.

The three-storey Auden property features a bay window with central French doors that bring an appealing focal point to the lounge, giving the room a fresh, conservatory-like ambience.

Paul Walters from Miller Homes East Midlands, commented: "The Auden is a spacious family home, with visitors particularly liking the en-suite master bedroom and dressing room that occupies the whole of the second floor.

"Miller Homes knows that taking that first step on the property ladder is often difficult and that's how we came up with The MiWay scheme. It has helped many people across the country to buy a stunning new home and we are delighted that we can offer the opportunity at Augustus Park."

Alison Hurry is one of many homebuyers in the region to benefit from MiWay, having used the scheme to purchase a new property from Miller Homes.

Alison commented: "MiWay really appealed to us. We had been looking at older properties but the mortgage products were dwindling day after day and the interest rates were ridiculous.

"The property we have now is bigger than we thought we could have bought when we were looking - and it's because of the MiWay scheme. If you have the confidence, now is the right time to buy a new house."

Augustus Park (postcode LE19 2BS) is situated in on the southern fringe of Leicester, a stone's throw from the tree-lined banks of the River Soar and around 15 minutes' walk from the lively village centre of Enderby.

The development is already a thriving community in its own right, with homebuyers commenting that the site is in an ideal location for village living but within easy commuting distance of motorways and Leicester itself.
