ONCE it resounded to the sound of youngsters going to and from lessons – and now five show houses are available to view on the new Parkview housing development.

In 2016, work began on building an estate of luxury homes on the site of the former Parkview School and Furness Academy South site in Barrow after the council granted full planning permission for the plan but with a number of discharging conditions.

The development has been spearheaded by Esteem Homes.

Prospective buyers are now being invited to view the new properties off West Avenue.

On the estate, there are two- and three-storey houses. This includes four-bedroom semis alongside three-, four- and five-bedroom detached properties.

There are also three-bedroom detached bungalows on the Parkview site.

Double-detached garages are included in some of the properties, whereas single garages, integral garages or simply just off-road parking are provided with other homes.

The majority of houses come with en-suites.

Each house will also be tiled, which includes the kitchen, bathroom and en-suite floor and wall.

This will be extended to the downstairs WC too.

Tiles can be bought from an Esteem Homes showroom.

Showrooms will also provides customers with a selection of kitchen cupboards, worktops and handles.

High-end Zanussi-integrated appliances are included in the properties as well as aluminium plug sockets throughout.

Each property is completed with panoramic view of the surrounding areas.

Prices start at £269,995, with 100 per cent part exchange of UK houses accepted and stamp duty paid on all plots until March.

Esteem Homes are open for appointments seven days a week.
