PLUMLIFE HOMES | THE POPLARS
The Poplars in Heaton Mersey delivered 106 new homes, including 54 for shared ownership, with a selection of two, three and four bedroom house types. Alongside the shared ownership homes, a range of homes is being delivered for market sale and for social rent by our parent company Great Places, creating a mixed tenure development in response to the housing needs of the local community. The former golf driving range lay derelict for several years prior to the acquisition of the site and presented an opportunity to deliver a thoughtfully designed development that enhanced its enviable location. With excellent transport links into Stockport and Manchester city centre, and with easy access to the beautiful Peak District, the development is tucked away alongside Heaton Mersey Common. Residents enjoy a pedestrian and cycle path which runs the length of the development, providing easy access to the surrounding area.
SNUGG HOMES | ABBEY SPRINGS
Abbey Springs, Burscough, is at the heart of West Lancashire. Burscough is a popular town served by excellent local amenities – and with Ormskirk´s pedestrianised town centre and historic market on the doorstep, residents can enjoy the vibrant mix of independent retailers, popular high street stores and celebrated restaurants. The Hewitt is a three bedroom, five-person property that offers exceptional affordable quality. Designed to very high standards, these homes include varied architectural styles that have been carefully incorporated to reflect the existing homes in the area. They feature modern open-plan fitted kitchen/diners and separate utility areas, with French doors leading to private gardens, providing functional spaces for daily living. EV charging point, carpets throughout, a garden shed and parking for two cars all come as standard. Abbey Springs’ standout feature is its expansive ecological pond, designed to foster biodiversity and provide a communal space for residents to relax, chat or play. A new footway along Abbey Lane and a pedestrian crossing ensure safe local access.

A fantastic property for first time buyer families looking to find their forever home, The Greenfinch at Wings Wood is a high-specification, semi-detached three bedroom house, available to purchase through shared ownership with Southern Housing.
