Location and layouts have helped sell more than half the homes at a popular Longridge development.

According to customers at The Ridings by Prospect Homes, the historic market town and the design of the homes has proved appealing. Out of the 65 homes that have now sold at the Whittingham Road development, 40% have been sold to families moving up the property ladder, with Part Exchange providing an added incentive.

The development, that will eventually deliver 113 two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, offers a great location close to Longridge town centre and less than 10 miles from Preston city centre, making it ideal for commuters.

Sam Williams, head of sales at Prospect Homes, said: “We always knew The Ridings’ location would be a big hit with buyers as it is surrounded by gorgeous countryside however buyers are also moving here due to it being so easily located to get to major hubs across the region.

“Buyers have moved from relatively close by too, within circa 15 miles, so again, it’s great to know that our homes are ticking many buyers’ boxes when searching for new build homes.”

‘Bembridge’ house type

For customers looking to upsize, Prospect Homes offers Part Exchange whereby they purchase a buyer’s existing home so they can proceed with the sale of the new build. This has a number of benefits including taking away any uncertainty that being in a chain may bring and there are no estate agency fees to pay, freeing up money to use on a new home.

One house style that has been popular with families is the four-bedroom detached ‘Bembridge’. Priced from £265,500 this home comes with a large, open-plan kitchen and dining area with a handy separate utility room. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, the fourth being ideal for a working from home space, if not needed for sleeping. It also come with an integral garage.

The three-bedroom detached ‘Heather’ is also an ideal house for growing families. Priced from £240,000, this home has a modern open-plan kitchen/dining area and a separate lounge. Upstairs, the primary bedroom comes with an en suite, while the other two bedrooms share a family bathroom.

The site is open from 10.00am to 5.00pm, Thursday to Monday. Find out more at www.prospecthomes.co.uk.
