Garston’s detached delights
South Liverpool homebuyers who want the comparative rarity of a brand new, five-bedroom detached house should look to a fantastic development in Garston that offers luxury and style at its very best. For a limited number of such properties are currently available at Redrow’s Cressington Heath development in Garston, but word is they’re selling fast.
Irene Gifford, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), says: “Cressington Heath is a very popular development anyway, but our five-bedroom detached homes have been especially sought-after. Part of that has to do with the fact that current planning legislation which encourages higher density development means newly built detached houses are quite hard to come by, putting these homes very much in demand.
“Detached properties appeal to a variety of customers – from growing families, friends who have chosen to house-share, investors and to those who just want that extra bit of space or privacy. This current release of large five-bedroom detached houses is the last we will have for some time though, so whatever their circumstances would-be home owners should hurry to stake their claim.
Detached homes currently featuring at Cressington Heath include the Wharfe – priced at £389,995 – an elegant five-bedroom, three-bathroom property that enjoys an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe to its master bedroom.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with the roof space cleverly converted to create two bedrooms and a bathroom. The ground floor has a fabulous lounge that runs the full length of the house, with French doors onto the garden, whilst the separate dining room with double doors is perfect for formal entertaining.
The fitted kitchen boasts a range of quality cabinets, worktops and tiling to complement, plus an adjoining utility room. The Wharfe also includes a detached double garage – another comparative rarity under today’s planning restrictions.
Cressington Heath will eventually comprise 314 new homes on a 35-acre site formally owned by Associated British Ports (ABP) between Aigburth and Garston.
Once complete, it will offer everything from two-bedroom apartments, through to town houses and semi-detached properties to large and luxurious detached homes.
Situated in the Garston area of Liverpool, Cressington Heath is in close proximity to no less than six primary schools and two secondary schools.
Cressington Heath is only a short drive away from the centre of Liverpool – a city that is undergoing constant regeneration in the run up to the 2008 Capital of Culture year. The vibrant buzz of city life carries on from sunrise to sunset – and beyond.
Offering fantastic tourist attractions such as The Beatles Story at the Albert Docks, The World Museum and the Tate Modern; a vast selection of bars, restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes, and the magnificent architecture – old and new – around the city – Liverpool is a fast-growing city with an exciting and colourful past, present, and future.
The development is also close to the popular Speke Retail Park, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the historic property and grounds of Speke Hall.
Cressington Heath also features a beautiful range of spacious three, four and five-bedroom homes, with current prices from just £199,995.
