WE ARE LAURUS HOMES

homes and bungalows. These stunning new homes are set in a prime location at the foot of the Pendle Hill with the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, an area well known for its outstanding natural beauty and scenic walks. Hollins Green is our development in the highly desirable village of Forton, close to the traditional English market town of Garstang. Situated in a peaceful location, a home at Hollins Green offers stunning views of the countryside. The new development will create 60 detached and semidetached 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes, with show-homes open for appointments now and the first homeowners already moved into their Laurus Homes. D’Urton Grange is located on the fringes of Preston in the sought-after suburb of Fulwood. With a mix of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes, each house has been thoughtfully designed, with spacious open plan living areas, modern built-in kitchens, off-street parking, and plenty of outside space. This affluent, leafy part of Fulwood enjoys the best of both worlds, situated in a vibrant and growing rural area that’s just a stone’s throw from the city of Preston.

Connecting you to the North West and beyond

All three sites offer fantastic connectivity, with the West Coast Mainline railway meaning a visit to the capital is only two to three hours away. The M62 and Trans-Pennine Express rail services connect Liverpool and Manchester with Yorkshire and the North East.

Manchester Airport – a short journey from all three sites - is the UK’s third-largest airport and the biggest outside of the South East, with more than 70 airlines offering direct flights to over 210 destinations worldwide.

Zac Worthington, Head of Sales, says: “We’re extremely proud to be adding to our ambitious growth across the North West with our three Lancashire developments, and to be helping to shape the delivery of quality homes in the region. At Laurus, our ethos is a home for everyone, and these new developments are helping us provide more housing options for first-time buyers who originally may have been priced out of the area.” At Laurus Homes, we have taken care of all your needs as a first-time buyer. A company that cares and creates communities around the North West. Buying options to meet most budgets. Design principles that add value and complement modern, sophisticated lifestyles. And locations that are close to everything and in the most vibrant housing market outside of Southern England.
