A new home with a difference in Chorley

7th April 2009 Print
People looking for a new home that’s a little bit different should head to Miller Homes’ ‘Birkacre’ development in Chorley. Here, Miller Homes has just released for sale a ’Croft’, the first house of its design at the development.

The ‘Croft’, a 4 bedroom link detached family home, has immediate curb appeal. The property has a striking shape, making this an innovative home for those looking for something impressive and exceptional. The design of the ‘Croft’ also creates exciting interior spaces, once inside.

From the hallway, stylish double doors lead into a large, bright lounge on one side and a separate dining room on the other. The pentagonal shape of the dining room makes this an interesting room for entertaining family and friends. To the rear, the spacious kitchen/family room is sure to become the hub of the home on a daily basis.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, two with en-suite, along with a family bathroom. This makes the ‘Croft’ both a luxurious and practical family home, and will certainly put an end to bathroom rush-hour delays it the mornings.

Howard Weale and his partner Julie Sharples live in a Miller Homes’ ‘Croft’ at its ‘Millers Green’ development in Heysham. Howard says: “Our home is built to a very high standard and we are proud of it. This house design gives us loads of space compared to other properties we had viewed. The large open plan kitchen with utility was one of the real selling points for us. When we moved in all our furniture fitted in perfectly. It was as if this house was made for us.”

As well as getting a great family home, buyers of the ‘Croft’, at ‘Birkacre’, will also get a property that is well located on the development. It has park views and the pond area, at the entrance to Birkacre, can also be seen from the property.

Set in a loop of the River Yarrow on the southern edge of Chorley, Birkacre is flanked on one side by Yarrow Valley Country Park and on the other by Duxbury Park Golf Club. A village green, along with the pond, marks the entrance to this peaceful new neighbourhood, which features 2 bedroom apartments and 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom houses.

Situated around a mile from the centre of Chorley, Birkacre is convenient for all the town’s amenities, including shops, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities. Located between the M6 and M61, and with Chorley railway station around a mile and a half away, Birkacre is also a good base for commuters.

There is a ‘Croft’ show home at Birkacre so people can visit the development to take a look for themselves how the ‘Croft’ can make their ideal family home. The ‘Croft’ is priced at £334,950.

The Birkacre Marketing Suite, at Burgh Lane South , Birkacre, Chorley, PR7 3TA is open every day from 10.30am to 5.30pm. For more information, log on to Millerhomes.co.uk.
