The area with much to offer

At Barratt Manchester's Melland Park development in Reddish many of the buyers are already very familiar with the area. Sales negotiator Colin Williams has found that many of the people choosing a home already live in the area and do not want to move away - but want all the benefits a brand-new maintenance-free home offers.

"I think people really like the area," says Colin. "It has a lot of offer, there's a train link to Manchester within a few minutes' walk and we are offering a great selection of homes at competitive prices."

Currently on release are some Maidstones homes - a three-bedroom house with en suite to the master bedroom and full fitted kitchen, ready in August.

There are also a selection of one and two bedroom apartments ready for the end of the year.

The Maidstones are on release at £181,800 and the apartments start at £109,050 for a one bed and £124,050 for a two bed.

The sales office on Station Road, Reddish is usually open seven days a week, 11am-6pmm or visit Bbarratthomes.co.uk online.
