HOMES are on sale at a new £5million housing development on Oswaldtwistle.

Hyndburn Council leader Cllr Miles Parkinson joined the bosses of sales agents Property Shop for the official opening of the first phase of the scheme which is on sale for the New Year.

Eventually the exclusive gated Rhoden Park community will have 24 houses aimed at first-time buyers and families.

The first phase of eight three and four bed luxury home, priced from £200,000, offer a ‘move in by Easter' promise.

Steven Chippendale, Joint Managing Director of Property Shop, said: "Property Shop have just been appointed to manage this wonderful site in Oswaldtwistle. Rhoden Park and is a secure gated community.

"The houses will all have en-suites, Italian kitchens, utility rooms and a choice of cutting edge bathrooms, all with a luxury finish which is great for both families and couples."

Cllr Parkinson said:"This will be a lovely development and gives the aspiration the borough requires.

We need change and it's all about giving choice to people.

"Currently in Hyndburn 66 per cent of properties are terraced, we want to build what is required for the residents of the borough but also to attract new people to the borough."

Jamie Allen, Joint Managing Director of Property Shop, said:"We expect the houses to be sold really quickly, the first eight are just a few months away from completion, meaning families could be in them for Easter 2019.

"The houses start at £200,000."
