Buyers in Fleetwood will be able to enjoy the charm of an older property and the style of a brand new home – all in a surprisingly tranquil location – thanks to Redrow.

Designs from the award-winning housebuilder’s New Heritage Collection will be among the first properties to be released for sale when the long awaited Harbour Village in Fleetwood launches this weekend (August 21/22).

Harbour Village is set in a tranquil coastal location and overlooks two sites of special interest. It is bounded on the east by the Wyre Estuary - noted for its population of over wintering birds – and to the south by the Fleetwood Marsh Nature Reserve, which is a Biological Heritage Site.

Lesley Myers, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), commented: “The beauty of the area surrounding Harbour Village is perhaps one of Lancashire’s best kept secrets, making it the ideal location for our New Heritage Collection of traditional looking homes.

“Inspired by the architecture of the Arts and Crafts movement, with modern interiors styled for 21st century family living, the New Heritage Collection is a premium housing product. It’s proved popular across the country, including other parts of Lancashire where buyers have said the properties feel like home, and we’re confident it will be a hit in Fleetwood.”

There’s been a lot of work involved in preparing what was once a brownfield site for the new homes – raising the site levels using sand dredged from the sea and constructing a lengthy entrance road.

The first phase of homes to be released will offer a blend of two, three and four-bedroom properties, with prices starting from as little as £116,995. And if the price wasn’t attractive enough, HomeBuy Direct is available on selected plots enabling eligible purchasers to snap up a brand new home at a fraction of the cost.

With HomeBuy Direct customers can take advantage of an equity loan for up to 30% of the asking price, jointly funded by Redrow and the Homes and Communities Agency, allowing them to purchase the home of their dreams at a price they can afford.

The scheme is open to those with an annual household income of under £60,000. Eligible customers include first time buyers, families in need of extra space those starting over after a relationship break up.

“The mix of properties available at Harbour Village means there’s something for everyone – from first time buyers and downsizers looking for somewhere more manageable to growing families in search of extra space,” Lesley commented.

“All of the homes will boast Redrow’s high specification interiors including fashionable kitchens with floor to ceiling cabinets and top name appliances and sleek modern bathrooms with quality fixtures and fittings.”

In later phases homes will be available facing the marina, including some magnificent plots with views out over the estuary.

There’s easy access to the M55 and M6, the attractions of Blackpool are just eight miles away and Freeport Fleetwood is nearby, offering 50 famous name stores.

To have your pick of the plots at Harbour Village, visit the sales and marketing suite off Amouderness Way from this Saturday, August 21.
