New build bungalows: Homebuyers should not miss this new development at Poulton-le-Fylde

North West based, housing developer, Applethwaite celebrates its 20 year anniversary this year and has been shortlisted for Residential Developer of the Year.

So it’s no surprise that an Applethwaite home promises dedication to detail, beautiful designs inside and out and carefully thought-out finishing touches.

Briarwood, on Blackpool Road in Carleton, has just 42 detached, semi-detached and terraced bungalows. Buyers can choose from four outstanding house types. There are one-bedroom semi-detached homes or cottage-style terraced homes, two-bedroom bungalows and detached homes, or three-bedroom detached bungalows some with integral or separate garages. And all offer single-storey living.

“The character of each home draws its design inspiration from the traditions of the past and blended with a more modern way of living,” explained James Whewell, Applethwaite’s sales manager.

The bungalows, aimed at the over 55s, are specifically designed to be future-proofed. For example they offer ability for people to turn the bathroom into a wet room, and all doorways and social rooms are designed for wheelchair access.

Thoughtful planning of the exteriors help the whole development blend in with the environment, and once you step through the door of any of the Applethwaite homes, you’ll notice that careful attention to detail from well-conceived kitchen spaces, smart appliances and bathrooms that impress with every turn of each designer tap.

Living life your way

At a time of life when you could have more moments to call your own, the area offers a host of leisure activities from the coast to the countryside. A warm welcome awaits in the gastropubs, bars and shops of Poulton-le-Fylde whilst cyclists and walkers have plenty of pathways and parks to enjoy or you can get back to nature on the popular Wyre Way which leads out to the stunning Wyre Estuary Country Park.

“We pick our locations with care. Every aspect of lifestyle and landscape is carefully considered to discover the place you’ll be happy to call home. And at Briarwood, we’ve found the perfect spot,” said James.

There are excellent transport links to motorways but if you don’t drive or prefer to leave the car at home the area is well-served by local transport to Fleetwood, Cleveleys and beyond – not forgetting Blackpool, of course, with its renowned beaches, tower and seaside entertainment as well as cultural delights like the Grundy Art Gallery.

Caring for the community and you

Applethwaite is part of the Eric Wright Group, which prides itself on supporting local communities and charitable causes, but also on giving excellent customer service. It has built hundreds of homes in the Lancashire and North West area.

“You’ll find we have more time for you, guiding you through the process, responding personally to any questions you may have and generally being there when you need us. It’s our way of ensuring that everything is carefully thought out, before, during and after you move in,” said James.

All of Applethwaite Homes’ profits are either reinvested in the Eric Wright Group or are distributed to the Eric Wright Charitable Trust for its charitable activities throughout the North West. This year Applethwaite donated £25,000 to Age UK and also the contents of two show homes to the charity, Regenerage, equating to a contribution of around £20,000 worth of furniture.

“When you choose an Applethwaite home, you can also relax in the knowledge that you’re helping to make life better for someone, somewhere else too.”

James continued: “Over the last two decades, Applethwaite has prided itself on delivering a wide variety of quality homes including conversions of historic Lake District country houses, specialist new build bungalows and developments for both first time buyers and those looking for more space to meet the demands of their growing families.

“We also pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service to homeowners, with long-standing sales staff on site.”
