Wain Homes completes purchase of Barton housing site

The new site will form an extension of Wain Homes’ Cardwell Park development of 47 homes currently under construction and will see the housebuilder commit £626,700 towards primary education and £1.18m Community Infrastructure Levy to fund local infrastructure.

Richard Chamberlain, regional managing director at Wain Homes, said: “Wain Homes has a longstanding reputation for delivering high-quality, energy efficient new homes, in well-designed developments across the Preston area and we expect strong demand for our new homes to continue at the next phase of Cardwell Park.

“Barton is one of the region’s most desirable residential locations, particularly attractive to people looking for commuting convenience combined with a semi-rural lifestyle. We are looking forward to creating a sustainable new development that will benefit both the community and the wider local economy.”

There will be a range of two to five bedroom homes, including 36 ‘affordable’ properties in the new phase of Cardwell Park.. All the homes will feature air source heat pumps and Wain Homes’ all-inclusive specification, meaning oak veneered doors, fitted wardrobes, Amtico flooring, integrated kitchen appliances, carpets and turfed gardens are included as standard.

Wain Homes has already sold, exchanged or reserved more than a third of the homes at the existing Cardwell Park development, despite only opening the show home in September this year.

The Warrington-based company also has nearby developments at The Lawns and Pinfold Manor in Broughton and The Paddocks in Higher Bartle.

Richard added: “Cardwell Park will feature many of the designs which have proved popular across all our Preston sites, along with some of our largest home designs.

“This will help us deliver a genuinely mixed and vibrant new community and a place that people will be proud to call home.”
