STORY Homes says High Wood, its new-build development in the centre of Lancaster, has passed the 95 per cent sold mark.

Sales have been "strong" since the launch of the first phase of three, four and five-bedroom homes, said the company.

The last seven dwellings at the site, off Quernmore Road, are now being released.

Clare Wilson, sales manager at Story Homes, said: “High Wood has been hugely popular since day one, with buyers attracted to the convenient location, variety of house types available, and the combination of traditional exteriors and stylish, contemporary interiors.

“We would encourage anyone hoping to secure a four or five-bedroom home at High Wood to come and visit our marketing suite and show home on the development very soon to avoid disappointment.

"We've just released the show home for sale and it was reserved within 24 hours, so they are selling fast.”

The marketing suite and show home are open Thursday to Monday, 10.30am and 5.30pm Thursday to Monday, or see www.storyhomes.co.uk
