Deal done on former golf club land to provide 164 new homes near Preston

Chorley-based Northern Trust Land has sold a 32.5-acre site at Tanterton Hall Road in Ingol, near Preston, a former golf club, to Anwyl Homes for an undisclosed sum.

The site benefits from planning consent for the development of up to 164 new homes.

Mike Grindrod, director at Northern Trust, said: “Our focus has been on bringing forward sustainable development opportunities, and this scheme will help address local housing needs while enhancing the surrounding area.

“Anwyl Homes has a strong reputation for delivering high quality new homes, and we look forward to seeing the site progress.”

Andrew Morgan, land director at Anwyl Homes Lancashire, said: “We’re pleased to have acquired this prominent parcel of land in a desirable location.

“Our development, known as Walkers Glade, will contribute 114 private sale homes and 50 affordable homes towards housing targets for Ingol and the wider Preston area.

“We’re aiming to start work on site next month.

“Alongside our energy efficient homes, this new neighbourhood will benefit from an abundance of open space, cycleways, woodland areas and feature a well equipped play area providing a central focal point.”

Savills acted on behalf of Northern Trust in the transaction. Jay Duffield, at Savills, said: “Having acted for Northern Trust on the sale of the first phase of development at Ingol back in 2020, we’re very pleased to have now completed the disposal of this phase of the former golf course.

“Anwyl have performed exceptionally well throughout the deal and we look forward to working with both them and our client very soon.”
