Hay-a-Park's famous five

Whilst the apartments at Persimmon's Waterside at Hay-a-Park, Knaresbrough, have now sold out, if it's a spacious family home you're after, you'll be relieved to know that there are a number of properties still available. However, just five homes now remain for sale until Persimmon's development draws to a close, so opportunities are limited if you're looking to make the move in 2009.

Karen Harrowell, sales director for Persimmon Homes Yorkshire, comments: "Waterside has been one of our most successful developments and we have been delighted with the level of interest in what is a challenging market.

"With only five remaining, which includes two professionally-designed showhomes, it goes to show that if homes represent quality and good value for money, there is always demand."

Remaining homes at Waterside are currently priced from just £219,999 with deals also available. If you dream of living the designer lifestyle, you'll be interested to know that the showhome is now priced at just £259,999, down from £275,999, and includes a whole host of extras including furniture, soft furnishings and a landscaped front and rear garden.

Waterside lies within close distance to many local amenities including sports centres, restaurants, pubs and excellent primary and secondary schools. The development is situated just a short drive to the A59 which leads directly to the A1, making commuting easy.

The town of Knaresborough could well be one of the most picturesque in North Yorkshire. It has plenty to offer - a castle, the oldest chemist shop in England, historic streets, boating and a mixture of delightful buildings - including a house built into rock. Knaresborough is pleasantly situated on a cliff above the River Nidd and the elegant spa town of Harrogate is a short drive away which boasts fabulous shopping, cafe culture and a glamorous heritage as a European Spa Town.

From the development it is approximately a 15 minute walk to the train station and London can be reached within three hours. Leeds Bradford International Airport is just 15 miles away which offers a comprehensive service of national and international flights.
