Need more space? Try a new home in Stockport for size

The three-storey Aldgate

With homes larger than the average new-build, Cherry Tree Park in Stockport offers a spacious solution to family living.

While research by the Royal Institute of British Architects suggests more than half of homes being built today aren’t big enough for the people who buy them, properties at Cherry Tree Park have been carefully designed to make the most of the space available.

For example the three-bedroom Aldgate is set out over three floors offering 1,376 sq ft or more than 127 sq metres of accommodation; compared with Government recommendations that three-bedroom homes are a minimum of 93 sq metres.

Marie Morris, sales director for Elan Homes in the North, says: “RIBA’s #HomeWise – Space Standards for Homes report makes for interesting reading as they found that the average new three-bedroom home from some of the country’s biggest developers is smaller than the new standard. As a niche developer we pride ourselves in building homes that people not only want to live in, but that they can live in comfortably. We’ve considered not only who would buy our homes, but how they would use the space.

“We appreciate that meal times are often the focal point of family life and so the ground floor open plan kitchen and dining room is at the hub of the Aldgate; while the first floor lounge offers somewhere quieter where family members can relax.”

The Aldgate benefits from the convenience of a downstairs cloakroom; with the family bathroom on the first floor along with the lounge and second bedroom. The master bedroom, complete with en-suite, is on the top floor along with the third bedroom or study.

The Aldgate is on the market at £299,995.

Subject to terms and conditions those who reserve this spacious family home before Christmas could enjoy the gift of having the stamp duty paid, saving them around £5,000. Plus, Elan will include flooring throughout.

Alternatively, the homebuilder may accept the customer’s property in part exchange.

Situated in the prime residential suburb of Great Moor, Cherry Tree Park enjoys good local amenities including schools, a library and restaurants all within easy reach

The show home and view home at Cherry Tree Park are open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm. For more information, visit elan-homes.co.uk/cherry-tree-park.
