Climb the property ladder to a woodland retreat

With a blossoming woodland close by, Dibbin Brook is the natural choice for Wirral homebuyers who want to escape the rat race.

And what better time to visit than during National Tree Week (Nov 27 – Dec 5).

Dibbin Brook is the latest phase of Redrow homes at Woodlands Grange in Bromborough and, as the name suggests, a woodland area has been retained as part of the development.

Elaine Mounsey, sales manager for Redrow Homes (NW), said: “At Redrow we work hard to minimise any possible environmental disruption caused during the construction of new homes and at Dibbin Brook we’ve not only protected existing trees and created woodland walks, but have planted more trees and shrubs to enhance the natural environment.”

Redrow has planted two types of trees in the main square of the development – the Italian acer campestre, also known as ‘Streetwise’, and the Dutch carpimus betulus.

And during National Tree Week Redrow is encouraging house hunters to explore the woodland after visiting the show homes at Dibbin Brook. It’s recently opened to visitors with a series of footpaths and landscaped areas.

Dibbin Brook offers a haven to those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of 21st century living. Set back from the A41, the development boasts excellent transport links by road and rail, making it an ideal choice for commuters.

“The majority of Britons live in urban areas and according to the Woodland Trust fewer than 10% have access to local woodland with 500 metres of their home. At Dibbin Brook there’s a woodland area on site, plus the Dibbinsdale nature reserve is just a short journey away. It means residents will be able to enjoy the great outdoors right on their doorstep,” Elaine commented.

Current availability at Dibbin Brook includes a choice of four-bedroom homes from Redrow’s sought-after New Heritage Collection, with prices from £236,995. Among them is the substantial ‘Chester’ style home, on the market from £299,995.

Traditional on the outside, but bright and modern on the inside, the ‘Chester’ benefits from a convivial open plan layout with a combined kitchen, diner and family room plus a separate living room for a sense of privacy or more formal entertaining.

Journey upstairs and there are four generously sized bedrooms, with the master bedroom enjoying the convenience of an en-suite to complement the family bathroom.

“Inspired by the architecture of the Arts and Crafts movement but with interiors designed to meet the demands of 21st century living, the New Heritage Collection homes at Dibbin Brook offer a timeless solution to modern life,” Elaine added.

“Every kitchen is fitted with soft closing doors and drawers, with the tall units and wide drawers offering plenty of storage; while sleek modern bathrooms enjoy quality fixtures and fittings that are pleasing to the eye.”
