THE first lot of homeowners have now moved into the new homes in Daresbury.

Homebuilder Castle Green Homes recently welcomed the first residents to its Bridgewater View development.

The houses are being built just off the A56, Chester Road, close to the Bridgewater Canal.

Plans for the wider development could eventually see circa 350 homes built across 31 acres of land at Red Brow Lane.

And in time, there will be a cycle path to connect the development to the nearby science park as well as to a footpath down to the canal.

Caryll Russell, sales and marketing director for Castle Green Homes, said: “Work on the first phase of Bridgewater View is progressing well. 

“We’ve sold more than half of the 23 private sale properties in the initial phase. We’re now enjoying seeing the houses we’ve built become real homes as people start moving in.

“Those who’ve bought in the development’s early stages will be able to help shape the new community as it grows around them.”

Current availability includes a choice of three and four-bedroom homes, with prices from £339,995.
