Beat the Boxing Day bounce

Boxing Day is one of the busiest days when it comes to people searching online for property to buy. Rightmove reported that Boxing Day 2024 was their busiest ever for new listings and traffic to their website. We will be closing our show home and sales centre at Eden’s Green in Bleadon during the key holiday period. We’re therefore encouraging people to act now to secure a new home that will be ready to move into in early 2026.

Edenstone operations director Chris Edge explained: “The Boxing Day bounce has become a phenomenon in recent years – with a massive increase in people looking at property listings in the period just after Christmas and right through to the new year. But that doesn’t mean those planning to move in 2026 have to wait. Start your search for a new home now and you could find you’ve achieved your new home goals early in the new year. We have two styles of four-bedroom detached homes in Bleadon that can be occupied as soon as the legal formalities are complete.”

Priced from £599,995, the Monmouth is a substantial double-fronted property, with a spacious lounge at the front, perfect for relaxing in. On the opposite side of the hallway is a dedicated study, ideal for those who spend at least part of the week working from home. Spanning the rear and destined to be the heart of the home is a combined kitchen, dining and family room, with bifold doors to the rear garden. A utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are doubles, with the main bedroom benefiting from a dressing area with wardrobes and en-suite. The large family bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms.

There’s also the chance to make a quick move to the last four-bedroom detached Tintern, available from £499,995. Feature bay windows offer lots of natural light into the lounge and study at the front of the property.

The combined kitchen, dining and family room are configured in an L-shape, with a peninsular unit providing a natural demarcation between the food preparation area and the sociable space.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has a dressing area and en-suite, with the other three bedrooms sharing the family bathroom.

“While the period between Christmas and New Year is a key time for the property market, the show home and sales centre at Eden’s Green will close on December 21 and reopen on January 2 to enable out teams to spend quality time with their loved ones over the festive period,” Chris added. “While we’re closed, buyers can explore the site and floor plans via our website, plus take virtual tours of the properties and make an enquiry which we’ll respond to on our return.”

Eden’s Green is a 42-home development, taking shape on Bridge Road, close to the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Severn Estuary and the River Axe.

The show home and sales office at Eden’s Green are open Thursday to Monday from 10.30am to 5.00pm. They will close for Christmas at 5pm on December 21 and reopen on January 2 at 10.30am.
