Harron Homes is opening the doors to the showhomes at its Shipley Lakeside development in the Derbyshire village of Shipley, near Heanor, on the site of the former American Adventure Theme Park, this weekend (22nd and 23rd January 2022).
Guests to the event will be treated to pizza and other hot refreshments whilst being the first to view the development, which has transformed this iconic site and its stunning 30-acre lake. With that much land to explore, the location is a canine dream come true, so Harron is providing pumpkin and cinnamon puppachinos for customers who want to bring their dogs along.
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.
The 44-acre site is now in the process of being regenerated as part of a master-plan by Waystone Developments, which includes a re-opening of the lakeside area to the public and building of infrastructure, including training/leisure/education facilities. The project is also laying foundations for a sustainable development which contributes to healthy living and quality of life for all.
The development offers a stunning collection of two, three, four and five bedroom homes situated against the backdrop of the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. Finished to the highest specification, these homes are perfect for families looking for modern living without compromising on space, style or location. This variety in design and allocated affordable housing is set to accommodate the need for various sized family housing in the area.
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.
Offering an abundance of features, Shipley Lakeside offers more than just a place to live, with an array of places to explore on its doorstep. The development itself will feature an onsite country park – with access to the Nutbrook trail – a 10-mile traffic-free route between Shipley Country Park, Long Eaton and Heanor. There are also a selection of local superstores and families can enjoy Giltbrook shopping park just five miles away, offering everything from fashion to homeware.
Natalie Griffiths, Sales and Marketing Director at Harron Homes North Midlands, said “Shipley Lakeside has homes perfect for a variety of family sizes and lifestyles and it has proved incredibly popular with local buyers since we released homes for sale off plan back in 2020.
“We are now very excited to open our beautiful showhomes and welcome people to a development steeped in history, located in the heart of rural Derbyshire. It’s been a brilliant opportunity to bring life back to an area where so many memories were made, and our new homes mean a new generation can create memories with their families. We’re offering not just a home, but a community on the edge of Shipley Lake”
