Walton Park, Preston - New Property Development

The two, three, four and five bedroom homes are based at off Carrwood Way and include apartments, mews houses and detached family homes. Walton Park has already proved popular with homebuyers thanks to its convenient location - as well as being close to the village's pubs, restaurants and shops, the development is also within easy reach of the local motorway network.

The scheme is designed in association with English Partnerships, to stringent eco homes criteria, ensuring that the homes themselves and the development have long-term sustainability.

The houses themselves have been designed to reflect the scale and character of buildings often found in a traditional village. Many of the properties echo the elegant lines of the Georgian era and rooflines vary in height to create an eclectic mix of properties and an interesting and pleasing street scene and we have been careful to use a variety of materials to enhance this effect, from feature brickwork and render detail to 'slate effect' roofs.

A beautiful location....
Walton-le-Dale is a quiet suburban location on the outskirts of Preston, giving you the benefit of close proximity to a city, whilst enjoying the paece and quiet of suburban life.

From the urban....
Preston's heritage is longstanding, with stunning architecture such as the Grade I listed Harris Museum & Art Gallery that houses an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures and ceramics, as well as a constantly changing programme of touring contemporary exhibitions.

The Guild Hall and Charter Theatre also provide venues for a year-round variety of attractions, ranging from ballet and drama productions to classical, rock and pop concerts.

For a lively night out or a quiet meal, Preston doesn't disappoint. The city's restaurants offer a range of cuisines and dining experiences. The traditional pubs and growing number of café bars provide the perfect setting for socialising - especially in the summer with an ever increasing number of pavement seating areas generating an al fresco, cosmopolitan atmosphere.

If retail therapy is required, Preston, with its two major shopping centres (St. Georges and Fishergate), markets and the wide selection of small specialist outlets, has the choice to satisfy even the most selective shopper.

To the rural....
But Preston is not all about urban development. Within its boundaries are several fine parks where peace and quiet can be enjoyed to the full. Avenham Park, which incorporates a stretch of the River Ribble, stands out as one of the finest examples of traditional Victorian parklands in the North West. Moor Park is the city's largest open space and boasts excellent facilities for bowling, cricket, tennis and football.

Preston Sports Arena has state-of-the-art facilities, including a first class running track, cycling track, floodlit netball and tennis courts and all-weather floodlit football pitches. Deepdale, the home of Preston North End, not only provides the chance to see one of the founder members of the Football League in action, but is also the home of The National Football Museum.

And Preston's close proximity to the M6 means that the attractions of places such as the Lake District, the Fylde coast, Greater Manchester and Merseyside, are all within an easy drive.
