A tranquil waterside retreat in Horwich

With stunning views across the West Pennine moors, Arcon Village in Horwich, offer buyers a tranquil waterside retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Buyers however can’t wait around too long because the final phase of development is now underway.

Redrow is developing a blend of new and refurbished high specification homes at Arcon Village using traditional materials including stone and slate. A selection of the properties sit beside the Wallsuches reservoir.

Lesley Myers, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), said: “Arcon Village is nestled in a delightful location with potential for some panoramic views of the West Pennine moors. It’s a great place to enjoy the great outdoors including the lush slopes of Winter Hill, Scotsman’s Stump, Rivington Park and Lord Leverhulme’s Gardens.

“And with unrivalled commuter links by road and rail to nearby towns and cities, these new Redrow homes are ideally placed for those who want somewhere to relax at the end of a busy day.”

A stone built two-bedroom apartment, with contemporary open plan living space and modern fitted kitchen, is currently available priced from £139,995. There’s also a stone built cottage with three generous bedrooms, large lounge and combined kitchen and dining area at £199,995.

The appeal of Arcon Village has been recognised as winner of the ‘best residential conversion’ category in the 2009 LABC North West Building Excellence Awards, which are dedicated to showcasing the best the region’s construction industry has to offer.

“Arcon Village is an historic venture which began life as an 18th century bleach works. At Redrow we are keen to preserve the history and architecture of our sites wherever practical and Arcon Village is a prime example of this. In line with their Grade II listed status, each stone built property at Arcon Village is being lovingly restored to encapsulate the essence of the area’s industrial heritage, while we’ve designed new buildings to replicate those that were already in existence,” Lesley commented.

“Those who buy a Redrow home at Arcon Village will be able to enjoy the character of an older property but without the hassle or expense that it would take to bring such a building up to date, as all of our homes have the latest modern interiors with quality fixtures and fittings.”
