A PLUSH new housing complex will officially open in Lostock next month -- with prices starting at £450,000.

Eleven five-bedroomed detached houses will be put on the market in Tempest Road from Bank Holiday May 7.

Two of the posh properties will have tennis courts and three will even have their own saunas.

Prices will start from £450,000 with bosses at developers Countryside Properties yet to finalise prices for the homes which include tennis courts.

They are expected to fetch more than half a million pounds when they are put up for sale.

Three of the houses will also feature basements which can be transformed into "garden rooms" - an attraction which offers residents the chance to look out onto their gardens through special french windows.

A spokesman for Countryside Properties said today: "None have been sold yet but there has been quite strong interest in all of the properties.

"They will be coming onto the market at the beginning of May. That is when viewing will start. They will be opened to the public by appointment."

But bosses remained tight-lipped about whether the development has attracted the interest of any high profile North West celebrities.

The houses will all be three storeys high. Developers Countryside Properties say they will all include, "high quality architectural design, natural materials and extensive landscaping."

The showroom even has its own garden hot tub - to illustrate how residents could make use of their garden rooms.

The whole development will be located within security gates.

Managing Director Ian Kelly said: "The properties at Lostock are more than just new homes - they represent a style of living that more and more people are demanding."
