"It's probably the best kept secret in Humberside," said Peter Richardson, Sales Manager for Peter Ward Homes, "Barton is the perfect location for couples and families. It is only 15 minutes across the bridge into Hull and 25 minutes to Grimsby or Scunthorpe. In fact, there are a number of working families on site who have split journeys. One parent works on the South Bank and the other on the North Bank."
