More than 60 visitors attended the launch of a new wave of homes at Oak Leigh Gardens, in Barrow, as Redrow introduced its contemporary new Harwood collection.

In contrast to the hugely popular Heritage Collection homes at the location, Redrow has created a new range for homebuyers who love smart, modern stone facades and on-trend, streamlined interiors.

Designed to appeal to couples and young families, the stylish range of 38 three and four-bedroom homes are priced from £279,995.

They are located in the sought after Ribble Valley, which has recently been named the UK’s happiest place following research by The Office for National Statistics.

The Harwood collection is built to the same high quality and exacting standards for which Redrow is well known and two new show homes have proved to be a hit with visitors.

A three-bedroom semi-detached ‘Pine’ style show home is now open alongside a detached four-bedroom ‘Holly’, with both properties featuring contemporary interior design to inspire potential purchasers. 

Sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire) Lesley Myers said: “We’ve had a fantastic response to our new show homes. Homebuyers love the stylish interiors, which have been given a fresh and exciting design by our team of stylists. In the Holly, we’ve opted for a natural colour palette, brought to life with splashes of sun-baked terracotta and soft blue in the lounge. The open-plan kitchen and dining room has contrasting units, floor tiles and downlights, with a beautiful natural wood dining table and hints of natural greenery plus stone and ceramic accessories.

“Upstairs, the master bedroom, with its adjoining en-suite, has been given a boutique hotel feel with a soft berry and taupe colour scheme, white bed linen and plush soft furnishings, while the second bedroom boasts a bold deep teal feature wall. Two children’s rooms are light, playful and packed with personality. We can’t wait to welcome more people to see the homes we have available.”

Nestled between Pendle Hill and the Forest of Bowland, Oak Leigh Gardens’ rural location has proved to be an attractive selling point for commuters and young families, especially as it’s also so well connected.

Situated just off the main A59 Preston Road, the homes are within easy reach of the M6; Clitheroe is less than three miles away and places like Blackburn, Burnley, Clitheroe, Preston and even Manchester are all easily reached.

Closer to home, there’s an Ofsted ‘outstanding’ rated primary school just a short walk away, and two ‘outstanding’ rated senior schools within a couple of miles. And when it comes to dining, the Ribble Valley has a reputation as one of the best places to eat in England – with a Michelin starred restaurant within 10 minutes’ drive.

Finished in stone, with some render, the new Harwood homes offer a choice of semi-detached and detached accommodation, including must-have features such as en-suite to master bedroom, ground floor cloakroom, designated parking places and/or a garage.

The four-bedroom detached Holly has a utility room off the kitchen and an integral garage and is priced from £319,995.

Remember, you can reserve your brand new home for just 5% deposit with Help to Buy.

The show homes and sales office are open daily, 10am to 5.30pm. To find out more call 01254 867745 or go to harwoodhomes.co.uk.
