The southern edge of the Ribble Valley: discover our new sustainable homes in Blackburn – Lancashire’s second largest town.
Ideal for growing families, first-time buyers and downsizers – our exciting Willow Chase development offers energy-efficient two, three, four and five-bedroom homes.
A new Lancashire base in our exciting development makes your weekly shop easy, providing you with all your everyday necessities and more. As a large town, Blackburn has a wide range of well-known, and local, amenities and facilities. And less than 15 minutes away, you can enjoy the well-loved town of Darwen and its weekly markets.
Perfect for nature lovers, you're not far from some of the UK’s most stunning landscapes, such as the West Pennines. Made famous by treasured British poet, William Wordsworth, the Lake District is also about an hour’s drive away. And if you need to commute to any of the major northern cities – such as Manchester or Liverpool – the motorway networks give you quick and easy connections.
The town has a thriving cultural scene, and is home to a museum, art gallery and several theatres – and of course its local professional football club, Blackburn Rovers.
A lesser-known treasure, Blackburn Cathedral is also well worth a visit, with its display of modern art and history.
The best of the North’s countryside and city life is easily accessed with the town’s excellent rail and road networks.
For travel by rail, you have two train stations to choose from. And by road, the M65 motorway connects you to the main road networks quickly. For international flights, Manchester Airport is just over an hour by car.
The town has an excellent range of primary and secondary schools, including the ‘Outstanding’ (rated by Ofsted) Pleckgate High School.
For higher education opportunities, the University of Central Lancashire is based in Preston, and you have the university cities of Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds nearby too.
