Edinburgh, Midlothian -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/02/2010 -- Proving a popular option with those looking for the ultimate urban chic lifestyle, buyers now have their last chance to secure a stylish two-bed apartment situated within the renovated Mill itself.

The iconic Grade II listed building of Trencherfield Mill has undergone a spectacular transformation from an early 1900s working cotton mill, to a centrepiece of the Wigan Pier Quarter. Each property has been creatively designed to utilise the building’s original features with impressive high ceilings, large windows, and expanses of red brickwork. Building on Stewart Milne Homes’ reputation of delivering quality with style, apartments also feature large, bright kitchens finished to the highest specification, with granite work surfaces and fully integrated appliances.

The final apartments are currently available with the widely successful HomeBuy Direct purchase plan, though buyers will need to move quickly. A UK Government initiative, the scheme is designed to ensure homeownership remains an affordable option for more buyers and is open to any household earning £60,000 or less who would otherwise be unable to purchase a home.

With this purchase plan, buyers not only benefit from a mortgage for only 70 per cent of the property price, which significantly reduces monthly payment amounts, but require just 5 per cent of this reduced portion as a deposit. On this basis, a two-bedroom apartment priced at £120,000 can be purchased for £84,000 with a deposit of just £4,200. The outstanding sum remains interest free for five years and can be repaid either when sold or via a series of instalments.

Trencherfield Mill offers a charming canal-side setting, with a host of bars, restaurants, boutique shopping and nightlife located nearby. Properties are ideally situated to benefit from Wigan’s excellent commuting facilities with both national and regional train stations just a short walk from the doorstep. Buyers will also enjoy a 24-hour concierge service with their new home, providing essential day-to-day support such as key holding, and parcel acceptance, plus round the clock availability to give access to service operators, furniture deliveries or even dinner guests.

Prices at Trencherfield Mill start from £120,000. For further information contact the showhome and marketing suite on 01942 497 506, open Thursday to Monday from 10.00am until 5.30pm. Alternatively, visit http://stewartmilnehomes.com.
