Top of the list of reasons to buy has to be location; Redrow’s new development off Delph Lane, Daresbury, is close to junction 11 of the M56, has great road access to the new Mersey Gateway Bridge and is within easy reach of all the amenities of Stockton Heath, Warrington and Runcorn.

Add to this a great collection of three, four and five-bedroom detached homes and it’s easy to see why the first few homes have already been reserved off-plan, even though they won’t be ready to move into until the end of this year.

Anna Evans-Kerr, head of sales for Redrow North West, said: “Although we don’t have a sales presence on site right now, we have had so much interest in the Daresbury Garden Village homes that we have now launched sales remotely.

“We can see people by appointment at other developments, such as Kingsmoat Garden Village, in Chester, and take people through site plans, floorplans, images, fly-throughs and specification choices. Everything they need really to decide on a new home.

“And, by reserving early, they will have maximum opportunity to personalise their new home through the specification choices, options and upgrades available via our online customer portal My Redrow.” Redrow’s first phase at Daresbury Garden Village has been named Gleaves View, a reference to the grade II listed George Gleaves Bridge, one of several bridges that cross the Bridgewater Canal nearby.

The homes featured in this first phase are all detached and offer a mix of three, four and five-bedroom accommodation. They are part of Redrow’s hugely popular Arts and Crafts inspired Heritage Collection and include some of Redrow’s new-generation ‘Lifestyle’ homes.

The Lifestyle properties feature fewer but larger, more luxurious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. So, for example, the three-bedroom Oxford Lifestyle, currently available from £407,995, has the same ground floor space as its four-bedroom counterpart, while upstairs there are three spacious double bedrooms. The main bedroom is akin to a boutique hotel room and has a walk-through dressing area leading into a super-spacious bathroom with separate bath and shower; the other two double bedrooms both have en-suite shower rooms.

Initial prices at Gleaves View are from around £400,000 to approximately £620,000 for three and four-bedroom detached homes. Three fully furnished show homes should open late autumn and future phases of Daresbury Garden Village will feature some smaller properties including two and threebedroom mews and semis.

Redrow currently has detailed consent for circa 800 homes on 120 acres of land at Daresbury Garden Village; and Gleaves View sits in what’s known as the south phase, featuring 260 of the largest homes. They will be accessed via an improved junction where Delph Lane meets the A56 Chester Road between Warrington and the M56.

The wider development is expected to take around 11 years to complete and homes will be interspersed with open spaces, green corridors and areas for formal and informal play. During the course of development, Redrow will make community payments totalling £8.5 million to Halton Council, which are earmarked for the following items.

• Converting the A558 to a dual carriageway • Off-site affordable housing elsewhere in the borough • Support of existing bus routes and delivering a new bus link into the Daresbury Park business park. • Improvements to Runcorn East railway station • Structural landscaping and linear park creation within the wider area, including their maintenance, plus improvements to nearby Daresbury Firs. • Creation of a pedestrian link under the West Coast Mainline and walking and cycling route connections to the site • Contribution to the Bridgewater Way Initiative and funding towards alternative marina locations along the canal.

There is existing consent for a local centre, including shops, due to be brought forward in a future phase.
