The ribbon was cut by the Mayor as Harron Homes unveiled the stunning four-bedroom Windsor and Warkworth showhomes at the site which was formerly the American Adventure Theme Park. The Mayor then enjoyed an exclusive tour of the properties, which were opened to the public at the weekend.
The land at Shipley has a long and fascinating history, with first records indicating it was a colliery site extracting coal from four mines in the 16th Century. Most recently it was the popular American Adventure Theme Park that closed in 2007, leaving behind a redundant collection of rides, shops and built development.
One of the showhomes being opened is the Warkworth – a spacious four-bedroom, detached family home with an integral double garage, ideal for house hunters that are looking for clever design and features. The hub of the home is the high specification kitchen with a dining area, a true focal point that benefits from stylish French doors opening out onto the garden, perfect for entertaining on warm summer evenings.
The second showhome is the Windsor, also a four-bedroom detached home, with an integral garage offering the best in modern day living for families that want grandeur and style.
Councillor Hamilton shared her thanks for the invitation “I was delighted to be invited to open the new showhomes at this wonderful lakeside development, it’s been amazing to witness the regeneration of this important site.”
Natalie Griffiths, Sales and Marketing Director for Harron Homes North Midlands, said: “It was an honour to welcome Councillor Hamilton to our grand opening and we are incredibly proud of how this iconic site has been transformed.”
