New community book swap box unveiled at Harrogate housing development to bring neighbours together
Residents at a new housing development in Harrogate can now enjoy sharing their favourite reads after a community book swap box was installed.
Housebuilder Redrow has introduced the mini library at its Kingsley Manor development, off Kingsley Road, encouraging residents to leave books they have finished and pick up a new one in return.
The book swap box has been created as a lasting community feature as the development reaches its final stages, with the aim of bringing neighbours together through a shared love of reading.
Steve Jackson, Sales Director at Redrow, said: “Building communities is about more than homes, it’s about creating spaces where people come together.
"We’ve seen how books can open doors to conversations and friendships.
“As the development reaches its final stages, we wanted to create something that would benefit residents for years to come.
"We hope this book box will bring people together and become a valued part of the community.”
Set on a 20.3-acre site, Kingsley Manor will feature a total of 133 homes from Redrow's Arts and Crafts-inspired Heritage Collection once complete.
The development also includes green open space, two play areas and cycle and footpaths linking residents to neighbouring developments, local amenities and Harrogate town centre.
A selection of four and five-bedroom homes are still available, including the four-bedroom Richmond and the five-bedroom, three-storey Highgate.
Redrow is also offering a number of incentives for buyers, including its Help to Sell scheme for homeowners with an existing property to sell and deposit contributions for key workers.
