Housebuilder acquires Lancashire site to build 95 homes

Anwyl Homes Lancashire has acquired around eight acres of land in Longridge for a new residential development of 95 high quality homes.

The site, situated on Inglewhite Road in Longridge, is the first development in Lancashire for the award-winning housebuilder.

Having already received planning consent, Anwyl will start construction next month, transforming the site with a range of three bedroom semi-detached and detached homes, and three and four bedroom detached homes, ranging from 850 sq ft up to 1790 sq ft in size.

Each property will be designed to offer aesthetically attractive exteriors, while boasting a modern interior that reflects the latest in living trends, including open-plan kitchen diners with French doors that open up into the rear garden, studies, utility rooms and en suite shower rooms.

Externally, Anwyl will retain existing mature trees and hedgerows as features, while linear open space will wrap around the development.

Boasting a sought-after location on the edge of a settlement offering a semi-rural feel and breathtaking views of Pendle Hill, yet close to a range of facilities in Longridge and with good access to Preston and the M6 and M55 motorways, Anwyl said its latest residential development is perfectly placed.

John Grime, managing director, said: “We are delighted to have acquired our first piece of land in Lancashire and we are looking forward to getting started on site, introducing the Anwyl brand and our thoughtfully designed homes to potential purchasers in Longridge and across Lancashire.

“With a heritage in housebuilding spanning more than 85 years, Anwyl Homes is renowned for delivering high quality properties that feature a superior specification, appealing to young professionals, families, first-time-buyers and those looking to downsize.

“The plans for Longridge are exceptional, and we are confident the development will exceed expectations.”

In addition, the development will make a significant financial contribution to the local community, including an education contribution of £234,577, which will be used towards additional primary school places, a payment of approximately £600,000 through a community infrastructure levy, which will be used by the local authority across a number of services and facilities.

The development will also include a number of affordable homes.

Part of a larger scheme of 190 homes, the new development will form a joint venture with David Wilson Homes, and will be known as Inglewhite Meadows.

Properties have yet to be released for sale. Anwyl, based in Ewloe near Chester, anticipates a sales launch in early Autumn.
