You really don’t need an excuse to visit some of the best new homes around, of course – but next weekend, there’s even more to tempt you at Jelson’s developments in and around Leicester.

To celebrate National Cupcake Week, Jelson is offering free cupcakes* to visitors at seven of its most popular developments.

So whether you’re looking for your first property, moving on to accommodate a growing family, or downsizing when the kids have flown the nest, come and find the perfect home for you.

The Leys, Anstey

The recently-opened Uttoxeter show home at The Leys gives you a good idea of Jelson’s thoughtful design and quality of build. This much-anticipated development is situated close to the wide-open spaces of Bradgate Park, yet just a stone’s throw from the A46. Currently available here is a selection of two-, three- and four-bedroom properties from £194,950.

Hallam Fields, Birstall

A well-established development just off the A6 north of Leicester, Hallam Fields is fast becoming a sought-after community, with a great choice of two- and three-bedroom homes from £189,950. Thurnmead, Thurnby To the east of the city, Thurnby is a friendly village situated close to open countryside. Thurnmead is ideal for young families, who can benefit from the village’s two primary schools and host of community activities.

The stunning five-bedroom Tern show home is a fabulous example of Jelson quality and style.

Poppyfields, Barrow upon Soar

Poppyfields sits on the outskirts of the attractive village of Barrow upon Soar, just a ten-minute commute into Loughborough. There’s a choice of two- and three-bedroom homes from £186,950 and, with plenty to do and see locally, it’s an ideal spot for first-time buyers and families.

Estley Green, Broughton Astley
