Horsforth homes tick all the prime property boxes

According to the Sunday Times, Horsforth on the outskirts of Leeds is one of the areas in the UK ‘offering the best quality of life to the widest number of people’.

Now an independent national survey commissioned by housebuilder Redrow has added to the information mix by discovering what people look for in a new home and neighbourhood. The 509 parents and equal number of children, aged 4-16, put school at the top of their priority list, followed by `somewhere with good transport links’ and a ‘community feel’.

Put both sets of results together and you’ve got Woodlands in Horsforth Vale, off Calverley Lane, where Redrow’s impressive collection of four-bedroom homes ticks all buyers’ boxes (and then some).

Patsy Aicken, sales director for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire), said: ‘Woodlands really is a perfect location, surrounded by open countryside, close to the River Aire and with a lovely community feel.

‘It’s a delightful combination of rural Yorkshire and the ambience that goes with it, yet the city of Leeds is just a few miles away.

‘Good schools are close by in Horsforth with two universities and countless colleges within easy reach by car, bus or train.’

All the properties at Woodlands are from Redrow’s Heritage Collection. They’re perfect for today’s busy families, combining traditional Arts & Crafts-inspired architecture with bright, modern and spacious interiors.

Prices currently start at £479,950, but a government-backed Help to Buy equity loan can reduce the initial price by up to 20 per cent.
