Open weekend for homebuyers in Horwich

There may only be 15 homes remaining for sale but there’s still plenty to see at Arcon Village, in Horwich – and would-be home owners can do more than just look through the keyhole this weekend.

Home builder Redrow is throwing open the doors of a selection of ready to move into new and refurbished homes at the award winning, one-of-a-kind venture, which is surrounded by some beautiful countryside yet just a short distance from Horwich town centre.

The ‘open house’ weekend takes place on Saturday, August 22 and Sunday, August 23.

Lesley Myers, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire), said: “At Redrow we understand that buying a new home is a big decision and that our customers want the opportunity to look around a property to get a feel of what it would be like as their home. And Arcon Village is a unique proposition with a real sense of history and lots of ‘nooks and crannies’ to explore.

“That’s why we’re holding an ‘open house’ weekend. As well as the usual show home, potential purchasers will be able to look around a selection of finished properties, including a two-bedroom apartment and a choice of stone built cottages with two, three and four bedrooms.”

Arcon Village began life as an 18th century bleach works and now enjoys Grade II listed status.

Extensive renovations have given the old buildings a new lease of life; while the new homes have been built using traditional materials and designed to sit comfortably alongside the listed properties.

“With their stone built traditional exteriors and stylish contemporary interiors, the homes at Arcon Village really are a must-see. They’re full of character and many are just waiting for those personal finishing touches that help turn a house into a home,” Lesley commented.

“And while they have all the charm of older, period properties they won’t need lots of expensive repairs or the costly ongoing maintenance that some second hand homes may require.”

Just five miles from Bolton and within easy reach of Manchester, yet set in a tranquil location with potential for some stunning views of the West Pennine Moors, Arcon Village offers its residents the very best of both worlds.
