A picturesque development meticulously designed to be in-keeping with the local community, Whalley Manor offers the best of village living. Being delivered in partnership between L&Q and Lovell Homes.
Whalley Manor is a 117-home scheme that includes generously sized two- to five- bedrooms homes. The development is set around an impressive 10 acres of open public space, creating a brand-new community on the edge of historic village, Whalley.
At the heart of the new plans is the play park – a thoughtfully designed space tailored for children aged three and up. Emphasising natural materials and imaginative play, the park will feature Robinia playscape sets.
This includes a tree climber, overhead ladder, agility trail, wobble bridge, a balance beam on springs and balance posts with ropes – all crafted to encourage physical activity and exploration. The space will also be brought to life with sculptural elements, including a striking dragonfly and butterfly play sculpture, to challenge coordination and balance.
Complementing the new play area is a wider area of landscaping that will transform Whalley Manor’s green spaces. A total of 253 trees from 17 different species and over 4,000 ornamental shrubs will be planted across the development.
Residents and the Whalley community will also enjoy blooming wildflower gardens, native hedging, and seasonal planting including climbers and bulbs, helping to create a biodiverse and sustainable habitat. Paved walking trails will weave through the site, offering scenic routes for walking, jogging, or enjoying the nature. Encouraging residents to explore the green space further, a ‘trim trail’ featuring brand new outdoor exercise equipment is dotted along a walking path for the community to use.
Claire Brenlund, Sales and Marketing Director comments: “We’re proud to show our new landscaping plans for Whalley Manor, delivering green spaces not just for L&Q residents but also for the wider Whalley community. These have been crafted with our current homeowners in mind, tailored towards families with young children and purchasers who enjoy the nearby nature.The development is set in a beautiful location with views of the Ribble Valley, and being able to encompass this rural surrounding within the development was paramount.”
With a unique topography, the development has been expertly designed making use of the sloping gradient to maximise the use of land and views of the Ribble Valley. Created with sustainability in mind, every house has electric charging points, allowing residents to power up their electric and hybrid cars conveniently at home.
