IF a move before the big day is on the wish list, there are a number of properties at Mitton Grange that will be ready in time for Christmas.

Nia O’Sullivan, interim head of sales and customer care manager at Prospect Homes, said: “Detached homes in the Ribble Valley are very desirable and the properties we have ready to move into pre-Christmas are actually more affordable than average prices for homes in the area.”

The average price for a detached home in the Ribble Valley (as of July 2024) was £405,000*.

Two detached homes that can be unwrapped for Christmas are the three-bedroom Croston priced at £330,000 and four-bedroom Barley Plus that is priced at £390,000.

The Croston includes a spacious kitchen and dining area at the back of the home, a separate lounge and handy cloakroom.

Upstairs the main bedroom has an ensuite shower room and the further bedrooms share a bathroom.

For buyers who are looking for a larger home there is the four-bedroom Barley Plus. It has a spacious kitchen, dining and living area at the back of the property plus a spacious lounge and handy cloakroom downstairs.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, the main bedroom having its own ensuite. The other bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Nia continued: “The time in between Christmas and New Year is notoriously a busy time as people look forwards to the new year and want to find a new home. We’re telling customers to beat this and get in early and enjoy Christmas Day in a Prospect home.”

Latest stats from the Home Builders Federation’s Watt a Save** report say new build houses could offer a monthly saving of £201.83 and an annual saving of £2,422.01 on energy bills.

The Whalley and Pattersley show homes are open from Thursday to Monday at Mitton Grange. To find out more about the remaining homes visit www.prospecthomes.co.uk/new-homes/mitton-grange/ or call 01254 375 675.
