New homes in Lancashire

Lancashire is one of the most popular spots in the North West, with the number of households expected to rise by 25% in the coming years.

Choosing one of our new build homes in Lancashire means moving into an area that is actively upgrading transport links and public spaces before that demand arrives. And because the focus is so firmly on the future, you can expect to find updated facilities and well-maintained green spaces right outside your front door from day one.

Why choose a new home in Lancashire?

One of the main reasons people choose to move to Lancashire is the strength of the local economy and the high standard of schools. The county is considered a leader in aerospace and energy sectors, supported by major employers like BAE Systems, the NHS and large retailers like Tesco. This means you’ll benefit from a range of nearby skilled roles and regional stability that is hard to find elsewhere.

Lancashire is also home to both Lancaster University, which consistently ranks among the best in the UK, and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) in Preston. Families looking at our houses for sale in Lancashire will also find a selection of high-performing primary and secondary schools in the area, making the decision to move here even easier.

Things to do in Lancashire

Living in Lancashire means your weekends can be as busy or as quiet as you like. If you enjoy a high-energy day out, Blackpool Pleasure Beach has something for the whole family. Recognised as the UK’s most intensive ride park, you’ll find a selection of thrill rides, like the legendary Big One rollercoaster and a range of themed Nickelodeon Rides for the little ones. Whilst here, you can also visit Blackpool Tower which offers everything from Skywalk views to the famous ballroom.

If you’re looking for other ways to spend a Saturday at a more relaxed pace, you can spend your time exploring the medieval corridors of Lancaster Castle or wandering through the grounds of Towneley Hall Museum and Astley Hall.

How easy is it to explore the outdoors in Lancashire?

Lancashire has some of the most beautiful green spaces in the UK, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to stretch your legs and take in the views near your new home in Lancashire.

To the north and east, Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers over 300 square miles of protected land, which is ideal if you enjoy hiking or mountain biking through deep valleys. A walk up Pendle Hill is another great way to spend your time, offering a steep hill which rewards you with views stretching across the Ribble Valley.

Prefer sea views and sandy strolls? You can choose between the energetic atmosphere of the Blackpool promenade or the quieter coastal stretches of Lytham St Annes. A stylish, affluent seaside town, Lytham is known for its iconic 19th century windmill, the annual Lytham Festival and several world-class golf courses that regularly host international tournaments.

Transport and Staying Connected

Lancashire is arguably one of the best-connected counties in the North West, making it an ideal location for commuters.

The M6 runs through the heart of the county, providing a direct route to the Lake District or south toward Manchester and Birmingham. Additionally, the M61 and M65 link up larger towns like Blackburn, Burnley and Chorley, so getting around the region is always straightforward.

The rail network is equally reliable, especially if you live near Preston. As a key stop on the West Coast Main Line, Preston station allows you to reach London Euston in just over two hours, or you can catch frequent direct trains to Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow.

Heading overseas? Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport are all within easy reach of Lancashire. And for ferry travel, Heysham Port offers routes to Ireland and the Isle of Man.
