Families flourish at Iris

The sales negotiator at the McInerney Homes Iris development in the village of Idle, Bradford, is looking forward to being ‘Auntie’ Lynn as families flourish around her, including two pregnant neighbours living in a Staveley style of house with due dates just weeks apart.

Lynn Smailes, sales negotiator for McInerney Homes said:

"Perhaps there is something in the water… or perhaps the Iris development is just incredibly attractive to those looking to start a family, because without doubt, of the couples who have bought here recently, a number are now expecting a baby!"

Jodie Ford is looking forward to the arrival of her baby in June. She moved to the Iris development in December last year along with her husband Chris and their three year old daughter. Jodie, who used to live on Idle Rd in Bradford, explains why living on the Iris Development is great for family life:

"There used to be so much traffic whizzing past our old house. Now, we can enjoy family friendly lifestyle that comes with living in this small community and the tranquillity of village life; and above all, my daughter can play in a secure garden. I can’t wait for the summer, when our new baby will be joining her."

Currently the Iris development offers a choice of three, four and five bedroom homes, all designed with family life in mind. These include the Staveley home, an impressive three bedroom townhouse, which is priced from just £185,000.

Lucy Cyprien, who expects her baby in August, said of her McInerney home:

"I love absolutely everything about our Staveley home! It is bright and breezy and incredibly spacious. Often in a three bedroom house one of the bedrooms is a box room, yet all our bedrooms are doubles, which is exactly what a growing family needs!"

Lucy and her husband Wayne took advantage of McInerney’s Part Exchange Scheme to buy their home. The Part Exchange Scheme is one of many family friendly incentives on offer home buyers and gives young families a chance to secure a home of their choice with an offer for their existing property, following a simple "you buy ours, we’ll buy yours" scheme. As well as Part Exchange, a number of other incentives are available to be snapped up by young families, including the first step equity scheme and 5% deposit paid for first time buyers.

Nestled on the northern edge of the historic city of Bradford, West Yorkshire, McInerney’s Iris development is minutes away from stunning countryside. Iris offers breathtaking scenery with rolling hills and canals nearby; perfect for nature trails, picnics and discovering pockets of local history. Its convenient access to the M62 and M1, Leeds/Bradford and Manchester Airports and with trains running regularly, means that the development is perfectly placed for road users and commuters alike.

Iris is open Thursday through to Monday 11.00 am until 5.00pm, and can be contacted on 01274 617281. Further information is available on
