New Redrow homes raise the standard in North Yorkshire

Offering the charm and character of ‘period’ properties but with stylish, modern interiors, new Redrow homes near Selby are the ideal solution for those who are tired of wasting their time and money on repairs and renovations.

Inspired by the architecture of the Arts and Crafts movement, the New Heritage Collection is a premium housing product. Designed in response to customer feedback, the homes look traditional on the outside, but are full of family-friendly features inside.

The true beauty of the designs can be appreciated with a visit to Saxon Court in Sherburn in Elmet, where three show homes are open for viewing.

“Visitors to Saxon Court have been pleasantly surprised at what’s included as standard in our New Heritage Collection homes as we offer a specification that’s unrivalled among most of our house building peers, let alone the second hand sector,” Patsy Aicken, sales manager for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire), explained.

“Kitchens are fitted with top brand name integrated appliances, including ovens, microwaves and fridge-freezers, plus under unit lighting; while the floor to ceiling cabinets and extra wide drawers offer plenty of storage. The Redrow standard specification also includes fitted wardrobes, built-in book shelves and outside lights. And in the bathrooms you’ll discover quality fixtures and fittings, with an exclusive tile range.”

Current availability at Saxon Court includes four-bedroom properties in a choice of styles, including the ‘Lincoln’ and ‘Cambridge’ similar to the show homes. Prices start from £179,999.

Both the ‘Lincoln’ and ‘Cambridge’ enjoy convivial open plan layouts that combine the kitchen, dining and family rooms to create a space that’s more than just somewhere to cook and eat but a great place for families to gather and spend real quality time together talking or simply relaxing.

Redrow has calculated that it could cost up to £30,000 to bring an older three-bedroom property up to the same high standard as one of its new homes.

“Buying a second hand property and renovating it yourself may sound appealing, but there’s lots of hard work and expense involved with little, if any, return for the time and money you invest. With a brand new Redrow home you won’t have to worry about inheriting someone else’s decor or DIY disasters, but will enjoy the peace of mind of a 10-year ‘Buildmark’ warranty. Plus thanks to built-in efficiency they’re potentially cheaper to run than some older homes,” Patsy commented.

Those with an existing home to sell may find that Redrow is willing to take it off their hands as part-payment for a brand new one. With Redrow effectively acting as a cash buyer, they won’t have to worry about getting caught in a complicated chain and there are no agent’s fees to pay.

Saxon Court is close to the bustling market town of Selby and enjoys easy access to the thriving cities of Leeds and York.

To experience all that a brand new Redrow home has to offer, visit the show homes at Saxon Court, open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5.30pm. To take a virtual tour of Saxon Court or watch a buying guide to part-exchange, see: redrow.co.uk
