Oak Leigh Gardens

Development Overview

Oak Leigh Gardens is a new build homes development by award-winning national housebuilder Redrow Homes, situated on Whalley Road in Barrow, Clitheroe, Lancashire (BB7 9AN). The development offers a collection of three and four-bedroom family homes in two primary styles: the modern Harwood Collection, characterised by smart stone facades and streamlined interiors, and the Arts & Crafts inspired Heritage Collection. While the 'Harwood at Oak Leigh Gardens' phase has reached full occupancy, a final phase of homes remains available, but prospective buyers should contact the developer immediately for current plot availability and the latest pricing.

Property Details

Properties at Oak Leigh Gardens are detached and semi-detached new build homes designed for modern family living. The available homes generally range from three to four bedrooms, with past releases including popular styles like the four-bedroom detached Harrogate, the three-bedroom Stratford, and the three-bedroom Cambridge. A feature style, the three-bedroom 'Leamington Lifestyle,' is built on the footprint of a four-bedroom home, providing fewer but larger, more lavish bedrooms, each with an en-suite, and the principal bedroom including a walk-in wardrobe. Typical four-bedroom styles, such as the Harrogate, feature a downstairs layout with an open-plan kitchen/dining area, a separate utility room, a lounge, and an additional room suitable for a home office or playroom. Standard specifications include en-suites to the master bedroom and ground-floor cloakrooms.
