A 166-HOME development next to Delamere Forest is opening three show homes at the weekend.

The 'Earlsbrook' development in Delamere will open up a home for viewings from Saturday, September 28 – the release date for the first phase of homes available to buy.

They will be available for outright purchase as well as shared ownership, with the Government’s Help to Buy scheme an option to buyers.

Homes range from two to five bedrooms, with phase one including two- and three-bedroom houses.

Laurus Homes, the developer of Earlsbrook, expects the location next to Delamere Forest will be huge draw for housebuyers.

Zac Worthington, senior sales manager, said: “We have an amazing opportunity to deliver outstanding family homes in an unrivalled location.

“We also have a great responsibility to make sure the homes we create for our customers respect the unique environment on our customers’ doorstep.

“The show home opening event will be the first opportunity house buyers will have to see the site, view the types of homes we are developing and explore the fantastic location of Earlsbrook.

“Both the range of house styles and the ways in which to purchase them make Earlsbrook the ideal home for first time buyers through to established property ladder veterans."

The opening event, from 11am to 5pm on Saturday, showcases a two-bedroom and three-bedroom home.

Jane Beedle, finalist in the classic 2016 series of Great British Bake Off, will be bringing her trademark glitter and sparkle as she not only officially opens the three show homes at the Earlsbrook, but also bakes throughout the day in the show homes’ kitchens.

Visitors will be able to chat with Jane about her time on GBBO and what she is doing now, ask for recipe advice and enjoy the odd nibble as she whips ups treats throughout the day.

Booking is not required, but is advisable by contacting Laurus Homes on 0161 968 0300 or laurushomes.co.uk
