Final seven homes at popular Greater Manchester development

Buyers are being urged to make their move quickly after almost two thirds of homes at Redrow’s development near Leigh sold in less than 12 months.

Such has been the popularity of Pear Tree Meadow in Astley just seven of the 81 properties remain on the market and sales have been averaging one per week since the venture launched in autumn last year.

Lesley Myers, sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), said: “We’d urge homebuyers to act fast if they are interested in becoming part of the fantastic new community here at Pear Tree Meadow, as we don’t expect our final homes to be available for much longer.

“Our Heritage Collection homes have proved really popular and people love the combination of traditionally styled exteriors and modern, high specification interiors.

“The location has also been a huge draw, offering village life yet with excellent transport and commuting links to Manchester, Wigan and the rest of the North West.”

Situated in the village of Astley, Pear Tree Meadow is close to green open space and the Bridgewater Canal, which is ideal for walking and cycling.

The thriving city of Manchester is a mere 10 miles away, with direct trains from Atherton Station taking less than 30 minutes, while a brand new £122m guided bus way speeds commuters into the city centre in just 25 minutes from nearby Tyldesley.

Meanwhile, the A580 East Lancs Road is close by, providing a link to surrounding towns.

All remaining homes are detached, with current prices for a four-bedroom design from £309,995. Purchase options include the government-backed Help to Buy scheme, which enables buyers to purchase with just a 5% deposit thanks to a 20% equity loan, that is interest-free for five years.

Redrow’s Help to Sell scheme is also available, which takes the hassle out of selling an existing property.

The show homes off Moorgate Drive are open daily from 10am to 5.30pm. Visit redrow.co.uk/peartree for more information.
