There's plenty of reasons to move to Green Hills in Blackburn, including becoming part of a readymade community.

Some of the reasons for choosing a new build home include having excellent energy efficiency, a blank canvas and not having to do any renovation work. But there are also benefits in moving to a thriving new neighbourhood.

Kingswood’s Green Hills in Blackburn is well underway and 250 homeowners are now calling it home.

James Brown, director at Kingswood Homes, said: “The most common advantage of moving to a new build home is that the house is a blank canvas with no long renovations needed. The benefits of the new community created at new build developments cannot be underestimated.”

With everyone new to the street, there will be a great opportunity to bond with neighbours over common ground – their new build home.

Moving to a development that is ongoing also means that some areas of green space are well established and ready to be enjoyed.

James continued: “Green Hills already has nine areas of open space for residents to enjoy, that’s the equivalent of four full size football pitches, and there is a further 14 acres due to be built with future phases. These spaces are already well-used by residents and have hosted bonfire and Christmas events in previous years. This is great to see as they were designed to be a key part of the development and something many of our customers say drew them to buy at Green Hills.”

Some of the homes currently available include a Weaver 4, Pendle 4 and a Byre 4.

The popular four-bedroom Weaver 4 on the Farmstead Collection can be customised six ways via Shape Your Home. Downstairs the home can have a large lounge at the front with a separate, open plan kitchen, dining and living space overlooking the garden. Downstairs can also be made completely open plan or a smaller lounge, office or playroom can be chosen. This home starts from £404,995.

Over on the Homestead Collection, the Pendle 4 starts at £385,995. This home has an open-plan kitchen/ diner with a kitchen island and bi-fold doors out into the garden. Upstairs, the main bedroom has its own ensuite and the three other double bedrooms share a family bathroom.

The show homes at Green Hills Homestead are open seven days a week with the Farmstead show homes open Thursday-Monday 10am-5pm.
