The town of Castleford is built on the site of a Roman army settlement named ‘Lagentium’. However, the modern
name of the town is derived from ‘castle’ and ‘ford’ – referring, respectively, to the fort and the River Aire which runs
through Castleford.
It was, for many years in the mid-19th century, Britain’s largest glass manufacturing town, producing
some 20 million jars and bottles every year..
Today, however, Castleford is more celebrated for its famous rugby league team, The Tigers and, just a short distance from ‘Holywell’, its
designer outlet village (Junction 32) and the Xscape leisure complex which incorporates Europe’s largest indoor real snow slope. The town
is also home to Burberry, the well known clothing manufacturer/retailer.
Ideally placed to take advantage of these many facilities and enjoying an attractive setting in part adjoining open fields, ‘Holywell’ is
an outstanding development of 46 houses, in a variety of styles and sizes ranging from 2-bedroomed semi-detached to 4-bedroomed
detached.
Each of the highly specified properties at ‘Holywell’ will be traditionally constructed in accordance with up-to-the-minute building
standards to ensure energy efficiency and ease of maintenance.
Road and rail links could hardly be better. ‘Holywell’ lies just a few minutes drive from Junction 32 of
the M62, affording easy access to the M1 and A1 motorways, and only 2 miles from the town’s railway station which
offers, amongst other services, a 20 minute connection to Leeds. The development is therefore ideal for the commuter.
‘Holywell’ presents a rare opportunity to acquire a new property in an enviable location, close to so many facilities and
excellent transport links. |
