Property Details

The Harwood collection comprised 38 new build homes, offering a mix of three and four-bedroom semi-detached and detached house types. These properties feature a contemporary design with modern stone and render façades and streamlined interiors, offering an alternative to the Heritage Collection's traditional look. Initial launch prices for the Harwood three and four-bedroom homes began from approximately £279,995, with the four-bedroom detached 'Holly' style starting from £319,995. Standard features included a master bedroom with an en-suite, a ground floor cloakroom, and designated parking or a garage. Homes are built with modern energy-efficient technologies and the development is equipped with ultra-fast broadband connectivity, a crucial feature for modern work-from-home buyers.
