Around 100 interested buyers enjoyed the launch of the Chadderton venture, which will eventually feature 97 three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached homes from the builder’s award-winning Heritage Collection.

“We already knew that there was great interest in Fox Meadows and to see so many people turn up to view it on the first weekend was incredible – if not a surprise,” says Lesley Myers, sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire).

“We managed to secure six reservations in the first two days which is fantastic news.”

And she adds: “There has been no shortage of visitors ever since the doors opened on June 16 – so I expect that six will be doubled, and more, very soon. 

“With such quality homes in what is a perfect location, not least for families with outstanding schools on the doorstep and easy reach of the shopping and leisure amenities that Oldham town centre has to offer, it’s not surprising they have been popular.”

The opening of the new sales office will allow would-be buyers to view plans of the development and the homes which will be available off Foxdenton Lane in Greater Manchester.

Fully furnished show homes for Fox Meadows, which is part of a larger development scheme of 500 brand-new homes, are due to be completed towards the end of the year.

But work is already well underway with available homes released from £304,995.

The four-bedroom Marlow detached property is a perfect family home, with a spacious dining and kitchen area to bring everyone together and a separate, comfortable lounge for relaxing, or for those quieter times. Downstairs accommodation includes a separate utility off the kitchen and an integral garage.

Upstairs are four generously-sized bedrooms, the master of which has an en-suite, and a stunning family bathroom.

Heralding from the Heritage Collection it has a charming Arts & Crafts inspired traditional exterior while enjoying a stylish and modern interior with all the space and practicalities essential to today’s families.

Close to shops, schools and services in Chadderton itself, Fox Meadows benefits also from being only seven miles from Manchester City Centre – and only a short drive from the Pennines and Peak District, providing that ideal life balance.
