The extras that make all the difference

With extras such as carpets, blinds and light fittings, the handful of Maidstones remaining at Barratt Manchester's Knightsbridge Park development in Dukinfield are a tempting offer.

And coupled with the fact that the properties are ready to move into now and are on offer under the Red Hot deals scheme - with discounts of almost £30,000 on the asking price - they make a great buy for those looking for a brand new home.

"They really are lovely properties - they offer a lot for a couple or a growing family," says sales negotiator Helen Roadhouse.

"They also have south facing rear gardens which are real suntraps and they are not overlooked - so they are perfect for those who want to make the most of their outside space."

The mid-mews property on plot 62 is ready to move into now and is on sale at £149,950, reduced from £178,150.

A slightly larger four-bedroom Palmerston is also on release. The end mews property also comes with carpets, blinds and light fittings and is for sale at £156,500, reduced from £185,450.
