Couple finds their perfect forever home for retirement at Spinners Brook

At Kingswood Homes' Spinners Brook development, retired couple Clive and Lyn discovered their perfect forever home—a spacious Haybarn 4. Their journey began with a desire to relocate closer to their daughter in Manchester, who has lived in the area for 15 years.

The couple chose to upsize to accommodate visiting family and friends without requiring hotel stays.

Clive said: "At our age, we didn't want the stress of stripping out an older property to suit our needs."

While exploring housing developments around Blackburn, Kingswood Homes caught their attention. They were particularly drawn to the development's waterside location and flexible living options. Despite facing challenges during their home-buying journey, including selling two properties, the patience and support from Kingswood Homes proved invaluable.

Clive added: “The sales sonsultant Kerry was instrumental in helping us achieve our dream home."

Their experience demonstrates Kingswood Homes' dedication to supporting customers throughout the home-buying process, even when confronted with external challenges.

The Haybarn 4 at Spinners Brook became Clive and Lyn's new home in September 2024. Their choice was influenced by the development's prime location and Kingswood's unique flexible floor plans. The appeal of a new build property was particularly strong, as it eliminated any need for renovations.

The couple took full advantage of Kingswood's customer choices portal, selecting several upgrades to personalise their new home.

These included an external socket for garden maintenance, the premium Harvard kitchen package, and they were notably the first customers at Spinners Brook to opt for the additional garden shed—perfect for storing their outdoor equipment.

Spinners Brook in Hoddlesden village combines rural living with modern amenities. The development features reservoir and countryside views, with local conveniences including a village store, deli, pub, and an 'outstanding' rated school within walking distance. Located just 3 minutes from the M65 and 6 minutes from Darwen train station, it offers easy access to Manchester, Salford, and Bolton while maintaining its peaceful countryside setting.

There are two stunning show homes available to view at Spinners Brook which are open Thursday-Monday 10am-5pm.
