Blooming marvelous in Horwich

It’s smelling sweet at Redrow’s Arcon Village with the Horwich venture winning local award. The traditional development’s impressive landscaping around the marketing suite has won the Shop and Business category in the Horwich and Bloom competition.

Established by the Town Council, the competition’s emphasis is to improve the appearance of the local area.

Lesley Myers, area sales manger for Redrow Homes (Lancashire) says: “It’s great that Redrow is not only recognised for its quality-built homes but its contributions to the local community and environment in which we build also.”

Arcon Village is a haven of calm, nestled between colourful woodland and rolling green hills. The attractive development - that started life as an 18th century bleach works - has been painstakingly transformed by Redrow.

Lesley continues: “We are really proud of Arcon Village and how well it has been received. There is so much character about the properties and the location means it’s an ideal dwelling for those wanting to live a tranquil lifestyle but who are reluctant to totally let go of the benefits of living near local amenities.”

Arcon Village is a development of around 140 apartments, town houses and mews-style cottages. All of the properties are being restored in accordance with their Grade II listed guidelines, the interiors are also sympathetically designed, taking the area’s history in to consideration.
