Apartments take style to new levels

With a boutique-hotel feel, the stylish apartments at Barratt Manchester’s High Beeches development in Sharston take modern living to new heights. In fact, with touches such as seating areas on the communal landings and, on the outside, a stunning landscaped courtyard for residents, they have a chic, five star feel.

And with its location close to the motorway network and within a few minutes’ drive of Manchester International Airport, it is the ideal location for those needing to travel for work yet who want a peaceful location to unwind.

“Better still, all the properties are available under the Dream Start scheme, which means first time buyers or key workers have the added bonus being able to buy a superb home for just three-quarters of the asking price,” says sales negotiator Christine Hunt.

Three two-bedroom homes are now on release and each comes with a high-specification interior with integrated dishwasher, fridge-freezer and washer-dryer in the fully-fitted kitchen. There is a loft-style open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen, along with two bedrooms and bathroom. One of the three properties on release also has an en suite double shower to the master bedroom. Each has flooring throughout.

With security gates and video entry systems, there is the added ‘lock up and leave’ element – meaning additional peace of mind for those having to travel for business on a regular basis.

The apartments start at £154,050 – but with the Dream Start scheme the buyer only needs to find just over £115,000 to call an apartment home. With only 75 per cent payable, the remaining 25 per cent only becomes repayable when the property is sold, transferred or after ten years – whichever is the sooner.

The sales office at the development off Freshpool Way, Sharston is usually open seven days a week, 11am-6pm or visit Barratthomes.co.uk.
