Keighley

While Keighley has a rich industrial heritage in textiles, wool and cotton, the enduring product your new home town is most famous for today is the award-winning Timothy Taylor Brewery. While industries change, your new home remains beautifully placed to enjoy the nation's parks whose beauty inspired the entire Bronte family to write. To the north, your new house is close to Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland.

Keighley has good infrastructure with a large indoor shopping precinct, the Airedale Shopping Centre, as well as out of town retail parks and plenty of supermarkets. The town has one of the oldest cinemas in the country, The Picture House, and also venues across the town for live music and events. Your new home is located close to Yorkshire's main hubs of Bradford and Leeds, as well as the Lancashire towns of Manchester, Preston and Blackburn - so is an ideal commuting town.

Living in Keighley

Ideally located to transport links

Select a new build from our new development and you will have access to all the major road routes across the North including the M65, M62, M606 and A1(M). The A629 is the key link to Halifax, the A6068 takes you to Burnley and the A650 heads into the centre of Bradford. The train station has services to Leeds and Bradford. The average train journey into Bradford takes around 22 minutes and runs every hour, so is ideal for commuting from your new home. The average train time for the direct service to Leeds is much the same. Leeds Bradford Airport is 15 miles away via the A650.

Shopping close by

Your new build is close to a pedestrianised town centre, making it a family-friendly place to do your shopping and meet with friends. Cavendish Street is home to a range of local independent shops and you’ve also got the Airedale Shopping Centre, the Retail Park and the Historical Royal Arcade. There's even an indoor market, the Kirkgate Centre, selling everything you can think of. The national supermarkets are in town too, side by side with some excellent world-food stores and smaller convenience stores - ideal for shopping close to home.

A wide range of schools to choose from

Keighley has a population of nearly 60,000 and has a wide range of schools to match. As well as a huge range of primary schools, secondary schools and sixth form colleges, your new home also has a good range of Grammar and Independent schools, faith schools and SEN academies. At the last count, there are two Outstanding schools and a very impressive 37 Good schools.
