Traditional homes surrounded by natural beauty
It's well documented that living close to nature can have a positive effect on people’s health and well-being.
Many of us dream of living somewhere we can enjoy the great outdoors close to home and residents of Arcon Village can do just.
Accessed via a long driveway off Chorley Old Road, on the edge of Horwich, the popular Redrow venture is bordered by a fishing reservoir, moorland and woodland, while Horwich itself is surrounded by panoramic views of the West Pennine Moors.
So serene is the location that it belies the proximity to the major conurbation of Bolton, just five miles away.
It’s all good news for homebuyers at Arcon Village following a recent Government sponsored report.
Lesley Myers, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire) commented: “The UK National Ecosystem Assessment looked into nature’s value to society and concluded that the health benefits of living near natural wildlife and green spaces are worth up to £300 per person per year.
“The landscape surrounding Arcon Village offers plenty for the country lover and avid walker, including the lush slopes of Winter Hill, Scotsman’s Stump, Rivington Pike and Lord Leverhulme’s Gardens. But with only three properties remaining, those who want a home that enables them to enjoy the benefits of living near nature should act fast to avoid disappointment.”
Arcon Village began life as an 18th century bleach works and today offers a combination of restored Grade II listed buildings and new-build homes that complement the character of the older properties. Redrow has stayed as true as possible to the existing architecture, using reclaimed materials and faithful replicas in the restoration.
The final properties are all four-bedroom stone-built cottages. On the market from £199,995 they boast open-plan kitchen and dining areas that are well-equipped with integrated top brand name appliances, plus bathrooms and en-suites with sleek modern suites, quality fixtures and fittings and an exclusive tile range.
“Arcon Village offers homebuyers the chance to enjoy the charm and character of living somewhere that’s steeped in history and surrounded by beautiful countryside. And while the homes look traditional from the outside, inside they boast a top notch specification that would be hard to find on the second hand market. It means that instead of wasting their time and money on repairs and running costs, our customers can enjoy their new home and rural surroundings to the full.”
For those who like their ‘living by nature’ to come with some urban benefits, Arcon Village is just a five minute drive from Middlebrook, one of the largest integrated and sustainable employment, leisure, sports and retail schemes in the country. Horwich Parkway station offers journey times to Bolton centre of less than 10 minutes and to Manchester Piccadilly in just half-an-hour. Easy access to the M61 makes it the perfect location for commuters working in Bolton, Chorley, Preston, Manchester and beyond.
