Flexible family living

Families who want to bring a new dimension to their living arrangements could find the space they crave with a visit to Woodside Court in Cranage.

The exclusive, gated development from Elan Homes features substantial properties with adaptable accommodation to suit buyers’ needs.

With more people now working from home there’s the option to convert one of the bedrooms to a study; while those with older teenage or adult children living with them may want to give them their own lounge.

“We recognise that no two families are the same and that their housing needs will be different. So although it would be impossible for us to design a home for each customer we do encourage people to think about how they would use the space available,” explains Marie Morris, sales director for Elan Homes in the North.

“For example because it’s set out over three floors, the five-bedroom Prestbury offers a degree of flexibility that’s ideal for multigenerational living – either buyers with their older parents living with them or homeowners whose grown up children are yet to move into a place of their own.

“They can all make use of the ground floor facilities which includes an open plan kitchen, family room and breakfast area. The formal dining room could become the lounge and so the first floor lounge could become a sitting room for the oldest members of the household who occupy the master bedroom.”

The master bedroom boasts an en-suite, as does one of the three bedrooms on the top floor. The main bathroom is also on the second floor, making it perfect for younger family members.

The Prestbury is available from £464,995 or an initial outlay or £371,996 with the aid of a 20% Help to Buy equity loan. The loan is interest free for five years.

There’s also a four-bedroom Chelford style property priced from £399,995, which can be reduced to £319,995 with Help to Buy.

Alternatively, homeowners may be able to trade in their existing property and part exchange their way to a brand new home at Woodside Court.

Located off Knutsford Road, on the edge of Cranage village, the properties offer the rural idyll, yet are close to the amenities of Holmes Chapel and Knutsford. The nearby M6 offers easy access to Chester, Manchester and Crewe making the homes a commuter haven.
