South Park Place
Location-wise, South Park Place is a winner. It gives you the best of both worlds. On the one hand, you’re surrounded by rolling fields, but on the other, you’re mere minutes from a bustling suburb with a smorgasbord of shops, restaurants, pubs and markets. There’s a choice of good and outstanding schools nearby, and Leeds is just 12 minutes away by train.
Which brings us to South Park Place. It’s the latest development from Mandale Homes and promises a new neighbourhood of 21 houses. These three, four and five bed homes are kitted out with Air Source Heat Pumps that make them super energy efficient. They offer a range of layouts to suit your lifestyle, whether you want an integrated garage or master suite that comes complete with its own dressing room. Shared family spaces make it easy to spend time together, but with rooms aplenty, you can get privacy too.

Village life within easy reach of Leeds? You got it. Bramhope is one of the most sought-after areas of Leeds and it’s easy to see why.

There’s a pub, bakery and general store in the village, not to mention tennis courts and an outstanding primary school. Plus, Golden Acre Park is just minutes away.
In this quaint English village setting, Miller Homes is building a community of two, three, four and five-bed homes, perfect for families of all sizes. They have quality built-in, with Symphony kitchens, Porcelanosa tiles and AEG kitchen appliances.

You could go with The Laverton, a statement brick-fronted home with a versatile open-plan kitchen and a separate lounge, dining room and office, nested under four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Or keep it simple with a contemporary two-up, two-down family starter you’ll fall in love with.
