Escape the city for the charm of Knaresborough

For those of us looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the North Yorkshire market town of Knaresborough provides the perfect location for a new home at Barratt York’s Hay-a-Park development.

Offering an excellent quality of life including a market every Wednesday, Knaresborough has rightly become one of the most desirable places to live in the whole of Yorkshire. Situated on the banks of the deep River Nidd gorge, the town blends a rich history with excellent local shops, bars and cafés as well as first-rate schools.

Located just a short distance from the centre of Knaresborough, Hay-a-Park offers a wide selection of homes from three bedroom town houses starting at £269,995 through to four and five bedroom detached properties from £346,995.

Buyers can take advantage of a great range of deals currently to help their move into a new Barratt home even easier in 2008, including 100 per cent part exchange, £2000 towards legal expenses and carpets fitted on selected plots. The 100 per cent part exchange is extremely popular with buyers as it saves the hassle and expense of having to organise a Home Information Pack (HIP) to put your existing home on the market and also estate agent’s fees.

Barratt York’s sales director Paul Hogan says, “Knaresborough is one of Yorkshire’s gems as few other locations in the region can offer so much in one place. Where better then to consider a brand new Barratt home, especially now that we are offering fantastic deals on a number of properties.”

Located off Halfpenny Lane to the north east of the town centre, Hay-a-Park offers easy access to the main routes into Harrogate, Leeds and York, which also link with the A1 at junction 47 just a few miles east. Knaresborough itself is served by excellent public transport with frequent rail services to York, Harrogate and Leeds also.
