We recently conducted a survey that showed a quarter of respondents agree that finding a home within a strong neighbourhood is more of a priority post-lockdown than ever before.
In the same survey, 23% also said that they would make more of an effort with their neighbours if and when they moved to a new house.
Being part of a new development is a great time to forge new friendships and The Pastures in Backford Cross has started welcoming its first families, with the new community really starting to take shape.
Fourteen families have already been welcomed to their new homes at The Pastures, where a total of 100 new homes will sit alongside open space and footpath links to the surrounding neighbourhood.
Simon Bennett, interim sales director our North West division, says there are many benefits to moving to this blossoming community: “Most of us will have realised over the last year just how important it is to have friends and neighbours around to help out should we need it. With this in mind, people are now more conscious of where they move and are keen to be part of a strong community.
“It’s up there with factors such as having more space inside and outside the home to make lockdown more bearable and features such as high-speed broadband to facilitate working from home.”
The three and four-bedroom homes available at The Pastures tick all these boxes and more. They include the three-bedroom detached Oxford Lifestyle, priced from £332,995.
This home is from our ‘Lifestyle’ range meaning there are fewer but larger bedrooms that each come with an en-suite. The main bedroom also enjoys its own dressing room.
Downstairs, the kitchen and dining area spans almost the entire length of the home with doors leading out into the garden, plus the spacious property has a handy utility and cloakroom and separate lounge.
All of the homes at The Pastures are from our iconic Heritage Collection, inspired externally by popular Arts & Crafts architecture, while boasting stylish, modern interiors designed for today’s lifestyles.
Prices currently start from £251,995 for a three-bedroom semi-detached Letchworth, while a detached four-bedroom Marlow is available from £336,995.
Located in Backford Cross, only five miles from Chester and close to Cheshire Oaks, The Pastures has the best of everything on its doorstep. It also enjoys a semi-rural location close to countryside, while being within easy reach of the motorway network and Capenhurst train station for travel further afield.
The show homes are currently open seven days a week by appointment only; for more information call 01244 435393.
