“Sought-after” Harrogate residential development proves popular post-launch

“Much-awaited” homes in Harrogate have proved popular after a successful first few months on sale.

Granby Meadows, off Claro Road, opened its doors in Spring this year and 21 homes have already been snapped up. The development, which will eventually include 95 homes, has been selling off-plan and show homes opened in early August.

Steve Jackson, sales director for Redrow Yorkshire, commented: “Before we launched this development we already had a long list of names on the waiting list. Post-launch the interest hasn’t stopped and we’re 21 sales in already, many of which came before we even opened the show homes.

“We always knew Granby Meadows would be popular because of where it is. Harrogate is one of the most sought-after places to live in the country and, not only that but it’s close to the well-known landmark of The Stray, which offers hundreds of acres of beautiful green space. People can enjoy the best of both worlds which is hugely important now.”

Granby Meadows is intended to be a “natural extension” of Redrow’s Devonshire Gardens development that was completed in 2018. All homes hail from the housebuilder’s Heritage Collection which boasts traditional Arts & Crafts style exteriors complemented by “contemporary and spacious” open plan interiors.

Homes include a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom terraced, semi-detached and detached styles. One of the styles currently available at Granby Meadows is the four-bedroom detached Oxford. One of the housebuilder’s most popular houses, downstairs is a lounge and kitchen/diner. It also includes separate utility room and cloakroom.

Upstairs the main bedroom has an ensuite and the three other bedrooms share a family bathroom. For those looking for smaller properties, whether as first time buyers or downsizers, The Bakewell and The Buxton are both ideal.

The two-bedroom properties both have “spacious” ground floor layouts, each with a lounge and cloakroom at the front of the home and an open-plan kitchen/dining area at the back, with French doors leading out to a private garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms; one with an ensuite, and another which has use of a separate family bathroom.

As well as two fully-furnished show homes, Granby Meadows also has a four-bedroom view home that has been left deliberately “unfinished in parts”, with many of the internal workings on display.

The idea was prompted by the success of Redrow’s ‘hard hat’ tours that take customers on a tour of their home during what’s known as the ‘first fix’ stage of construction.
