When it came to looking for her first home, Joanne Milne was just one more struggling first-time buyer trying to get her foot on the property ladder.<\/p>\nWhen it came to looking for her first home, Joanne Milne was just one more struggling first-time buyer trying to get her foot on the property ladder.<\/p>\n
Then she discovered Barratt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pioneering iPad apartments at Farrier\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Park, Stockton.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I loved the iPad design and the fact that everything was finished to a really high specification, which was lacking in other properties I considered,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Joanne.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
So after a small deposit, she purchased a top-floor apartment for \u00c2\u00a396,000 in a three-storey block in this attractive riverside location.<\/p>\n
Joanne added: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I went for an iPad because it was within my price range, yet because of the open-plan design it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t feel poky.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The bathroom is best of all; it has a large basin with a vanity unit, which is just right for a girl\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s needs and a full-size bath with a shower over; many of the affordable homes only have a tiny shower room.<\/p>\n
The Barratt iPad measures 381 sq ft and comprises a living, dining and kitchen area, with the kitchen separated off by a breakfast bar and comes with a freezer, fridge, oven and hob with extractor hood.<\/p>\n
The living area leads on to a private balcony while the double bedroom has a 1.5m run of wardrobes, plus a dresser, bedside cabinet and double bed with ample room to walk around it.<\/p>\n
Barratt is currently selling Barratt iPads at Parkside Gardens in Middlesbrough at prices from \u00c2\u00a395,000 and further iPad\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s are planned for Hardwick Green in Stockton.<\/p>\n
