Property Details

The Mill Cross development offers a variety of house types, including terraced, end-terrace, semi-detached, and detached homes, all benefiting from a 10-year new build warranty. The available properties range from 3-bedroom houses, such as 'The Danbury', starting around £355,000, to 4-bedroom detached homes priced up to £460,000.
