Prospective buyers are advised that the on-site sales office is closed, and all viewing and reservation appointments are managed from the nearby Gleeson Homes development, Squirrel Fold. Pricing for the final available property is only available by contacting the developer directly. However, to provide a representative price bracket for the area and developer, similar new build homes by Gleeson in West Yorkshire typically range from approximately £179,995 to over £339,995.

Property Details

Hays Park features a mix of semi-detached and detached new build houses, designed to provide affordable options for first-time buyers and families. Standard inclusions across the properties are notably comprehensive, featuring a kitchen with an integral fridge freezer, turf laid to both the front and rear gardens, full 6ft timber fencing, an outside tap, and a gate. The house designs prioritise practicality and affordability. Previous property types on the site included two, three, and four-bedroom layouts. Buyers should note that while Gleeson is known for its low-cost model, reviews on build quality and aftercare are mixed, with some residents citing issues with finishes and snagging processes. The design focus is on providing a new, accessible home base rather than a premium, heavily-specified product.
