Redrow’s Cressington Heath, situated in the Garston area of the city designated European Capital of Culture for 2008, has played home to a wealth of visitors and buyers who have snapped up the opportunity to live in a stylish property at a now fashionable location.

Irene Gifford, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire) says: “Cressington Heath is definitely bucking the trend despite recent reports suggesting buyers’ confidence in the property market is running low. Sales since January are more than steady and interest in the development only grows.

“This is largely due to the wide range of homes available that suit every type of buyer from first-timers, young professionals, growing families to empty nesters and even friends looking to share.

“Another pulling power of Cressington Heath is the location. Garston is a part of Liverpool which, together with neighbouring Speke, has seen a massive injection of private and public funding and as a consequence, now sits comfortably on the list of up and coming areas in the city. It is also only four miles from the city centre – making it perfect for workers looking to commute.”

Situated on a 35-acre site off Garston Way, Cressington Heath will eventually comprise 314 new homes that confidently showcase both contemporary and traditional design.

Available properties include the three-bedroom, three-storey Malham, priced from £214,995, and the four-bedroom three storey Teign which is a fantastic size and has a contemporary feel – it is remarkably priced at only £249,995. Appealing to buyers looking for a large detached property, the impressive five-bedroom Wharfe, boasts two bathrooms plus en-suite, a walk-in wardrobe within the master bedroom and a separate dinning room. It is priced from £417,995.

Irene continues: “For those who need an extra incentive to move, Redrow’s ‘re:assure’ package can provide the help people need, when they need it. Buyers have access to a range of tailor-made incentives best suited to their current circumstance – making their overall moving process as carefree as possible.” 

The development is based only two miles from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, and has access to all the local shops and amenities of Garston itself, as well as the ‘high street’ stores of the nearby Mersey Retail Park, in Speke. It’s also only a short drive from the leafy oasis of Sefton Park and the popular bars and restaurants of Lark Lane, Aigburth and Allerton Road. 
Public transport is also very accessible, with a major bus route running along Garston Way; while Cressington Station is approximately half-a-mile away and the new Liverpool South Parkway railway station, with its park and ride, is less than two miles.

The M62 and M57 motorways are within easy commuting distance and provide easy access to most North West destinations.
