Chelmsford in England, Perth in Scotland, and St Asaph in Wales have beaten off tough competition from towns across the UK to be awarded "city status" in 2012, marking this year's Diamond Jubilee. As the media spotlight falls on these three new cities, highlighting the superb quality of community life each offers, new developments in Essex nearby are likely to prove increasingly popular with buyers.
New homes near Chelmsford
Chelmsford in Essex is home to Essex county cricket team and Anglia Ruskin University, and is one of the fast-growing towns in the south-east of England.
About 13 miles from Chelmsford in the pretty village of Bocking near Braintree, Barratt Homes has created an exclusive development of riverside homes at Bocking Mill, close to the village shops, pub, church and schools. Priced from £224,995 to £289,995, these new homes range from two-bedroom apartments to luxury four-bedroom family homes, with a shared equity scheme available to help house buyers get their foot on the property ladder.
At the upper end of the price scale, about 12 miles from Chelmsford in the affluent suburban town of Brentwood, Weald Park is a prestigious development of spacious new homes from Charles Church. Priced from £840,000, these properties are situated in an area of unspoilt natural beauty yet benefit from excellent transport links and are within easy reach of London. Brentwood is a well-established town that's home to a good range of local amenities, as well as the highly regarded independent Brentwood School.
New developments near Perth
Perth in Perthshire, the largest town in Scotland, will become Scotland's seventh city.
About 16 miles from Perth in Blairgowrie, Springfield Properties is developing Kinloch Gardens, a collection of two-, three- and four-bedroom modern family homes priced from £156,000 to £183,000. The town is focused around the Wellmeadow, a grassy triangle in the middle of town which hosts regular markets and outdoor entertainment. Nestled at the foot of the Grampian Mountains, Blairgowrie and Rattray is popular with tourists thanks to the many local walks and historic sites, and is also a popular commuter town for workers in both Perth and Dundee.
About 14 miles from Perth in Auchterarder, Bett Homes has a new development called Kingswell made up of three-, four- and five-bedroom detached homes priced from £286,500 to £295,000. Just south of the Highlands and north of the charming Ochil Hills, Auchterarder is a lovely, peaceful setting famous for its Gleneagles Hotel and golf course. It is within easy reach of Perth and Scotland's rugged west coast, yet is also just a short drive from central Scotland.
New homes near St Asaph
St Asaph in Denbighshire has a population of just 3,500, which will make it one of the smallest cities in the UK. Taylor Wimpey has several new developments in Denbighshire, including Glasdir in the beautiful Vale of Clwyd, just 13 miles from St Asaph. Priced from £99,950 to £249,950 and incorporating a wide variety of new homes, from two-bedroom apartments right up to five-bedroom houses, Glasdir has something for everyone - with a shared equity purchase assistance scheme available on selected plots.
