Redrow’s New Heritage Collection

People looking for a new home in the Lancashire market town of Wigan will soon have more to choose from.

Redrow is preparing to launch its latest venture, College Court, on the site of the former St Thomas More High School in Newtown.

The development will offer some 140 two, three and four-bedroom homes.

Combining the charm and character of ‘period’ properties with the style and convenience of being brand new, they’re sure to appeal to those who are tired of wasting time and money running and maintaining older homes.

Plus with the Government-backed FirstBuy help scheme available, they’re an attractive prospect for those starting out in their first home.

Christine Aitken, sales director for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), commented: “At Redrow we take pride in all we do; from choosing primary locations for our homes, to the quality craftsmanship our skilled tradesmen invest in them and the high levels of customer care we deliver; the homes at College Court will be no exception.”

She added: “Popular across the country, we’re confident our New Heritage Collection of traditional looking homes that combine the best of old and new will be just as successful in Wigan, where we anticipate high levels of interest. Anyone who’s considering moving home in the area should register their interest now to be among the first to find out more about the development.”

Behind the traditional Arts and Crafts exteriors, the homes will boast bright modern interiors full of family friendly features including convivial open plan layouts, well equipped kitchens with lots of storage space plus sleek bathrooms and en-suites with quality fixtures and fittings.

FirstBuy will be available on selected properties, offering eligible purchasers the chance to take out a 20% equity loan towards the cost.

“FirstBuy makes buying possible for many who thought the credit squeeze had priced them out of the market. The initially interest free loan is jointly funded by us, the developer, and the Government. It means you can experience the joy of owning 100% of your first home but pay a smaller deposit and have lower monthly mortgage repayments,” Christine explained.

Residents of College Court will benefit from a range of local amenities including the nearby Robin Park sports, leisure and retail complex with its shops, cafes, bars, a cinema and sports facilities. The development also enjoys easy access to the M6, making the homes a good base for commuters working across the North West.
