The most recent construction phase at Ridgewood, The Cedars is located inside the tree-lined entrance, close to a newly-built crèche, medical centre and convenience grocery. MKN's attention to landscaping at an early stage is now paying dividends at Ridgewood and mature greenery gives a good first impression.

Each house-type has its own style of finish, with good quality kitchens and bathrooms, wardrobes, wall tiling and fireplaces included in the price. Heating is by natural gas. Houses come with private gardens, levelled and seeded and varying in size, according to house-type.

Completions are expected to take place in spring and summer 2006.
