Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 25, 2015 1:35 am Hi guys! Has anyone else bought land in Wellard Glen? It's fairly new. We are planning to build the Lennox and hope that our expensive tastes don't get the better of us!!! In the next few days we are hoping to sign on the dotted line for the land and officially give the builder the go ahead to start drafting plans! This is our second build, (the first was with Blueprint in 2007) and are soooooo excited about it! 1st Aug2015 - Bought the block!!![/color] 9th Aug 2015 - Signed with Celebration Homes 30th Sep - Prestart completed. 4th Nov - Earthworks completed 6th Nov - Pad is laid! 15th Dec - Brickwork begins! Re: Building the Lennox (Celebration Homes) in Wellard Glen 2Jul 25, 2015 11:54 am Hi Sparkysgirl, We've lived in the Village for years and are building there again. Can't believe how many new Wellard Estates are popping up! I've seen the signs for Wellard Glen but must admit I don't even know where it is! Is it further down Mortimer Road past Sunrise?

We have almost secured a 680m block - theres stacks of blocks available there. We didn't want to be building so close to Kwinana... but it seems to be a bit more remote since it is on the other side of the freeway. http://www.wellardglen.com.au/images/me ... n-2014.pdf this is the outline. 1st Aug2015 - Bought the block!!![/color] 9th Aug 2015 - Signed with Celebration Homes 30th Sep - Prestart completed. 4th Nov - Earthworks completed 6th Nov - Pad is laid! 15th Dec - Brickwork begins! Re: Building the Lennox (Celebration Homes) in Wellard Glen 4Jul 25, 2015 2:45 pm That's a good sized block you've got there! Nice that they've done a few that size and rectangular so actually functional too! I've just looked at Google maps and get where you are now. I wouldn't worry about being close to Kwinana. We use Wellard for the shops if we want bigW or something we usually go up to Cockburn. You can go on the train too, it's easy to walk to Cockburn shops via the underpass, also means you can have dinner and few drinks and not have to worry about getting home again. (well we can walk to Wellard station too). Good choice with Cellies and the Lennox, it's a home we considered but in the end chose a Dale Alcock home (same company).

We are building at the village. May i know what's wrong with kwinana?

We live in Armadale and are moving to get away from ongoing crime etc. From what I've known, Kwinana (some parts) are much the same as that. 1st Aug2015 - Bought the block!!![/color] 9th Aug 2015 - Signed with Celebration Homes 30th Sep - Prestart completed. 4th Nov - Earthworks completed 6th Nov - Pad is laid! 15th Dec - Brickwork begins!

Yes we are so far pretty happy with Celebrations... mind you we haven't signed any contracts yet! But our sales rep is awesome so far. We have actually switched our build to th Brando... which is almost the same as the Lennox with only subtle differences. But it suits us a bit better 1st Aug2015 - Bought the block!!![/color] 9th Aug 2015 - Signed with Celebration Homes 30th Sep - Prestart completed. 4th Nov - Earthworks completed 6th Nov - Pad is laid! 15th Dec - Brickwork begins!

House looks great and I love the changes that you've made. I like the nook that you've made opposite the games room and the double door entry on your gamesroom too. Hope you're enjoying your building journey so far and good luck with your Prestart.

All in all, pretty happy with the progress so far!
