Barrow Scheme Suiting Buyer Location Priorities

Posted 10 March 2021 by Keith Osborne

Redrow is seeing demand at Oak Leigh Gardens reflecting the way it ticks many boxes for Lancashire house-hunters...

Redrow is using survey results to shape where it builds in future and one development that is already ticking these boxes for homebuyers is Oak Leigh Gardens in Barrow.

Lockdown has impacted where homebuyers want to live and many in the North West are now keen to find a more rural lifestyle. In the company’s recent buyer trends survey, 2,000 respondents from across the UK were asked about their preferred location to buy a new home.

Among the priorities that emerged from consumers in the North West, 55% said their dream home was in the countryside, with 45% saying they would love to live in or near to a national park or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and 39% considered a village to be the ideal setting.

With its desirable semi-rural location, in the picturesque Ribble Valley village, Oak Leigh Gardens sits nestled between two AONBs, The Forest of Bowland and Pendle Hill.

Sian Pitt, sales director for Redrow Lancashire, said: “Oak Leigh Gardens offers a rural lifestyle with some of the region’s most beautiful countryside on the doorstep. Despite this quiet setting, the homes are within easy reach of the M6, Clitheroe is less than three miles away and places like Blackburn, Burnley, Preston and even Manchester are all very accessible.

“This ‘best-of-both-worlds’ location means it matches several of the top priorities highlighted by North West purchasers in our recent trends survey.”

Oak Leigh Gardens has fantastic choice for buyers thanks to two distinct new homes collections that include a number of three- and four-bedroom homes. While the Heritage Collection offers traditional Arts and Crafts-inspired architecture with period style features, the Harwood range provides streamlined, smart exteriors, finished in stone, for those who prefer a more contemporary look. Both collections offer up to the minute interiors designed for modern lifestyles.

All homes also come with their own private gardens and open-plan kitchen and dining areas. Prices start from £262,995 for a three-bedroom home from the Harwood Collection.
