Elan Homes - Whittingham Fold

Whittingham Fold’s idyllic surroundings are largely made up of rural farmland and leafy green space yet these homes are only a stone’s throw from Preston, a city twice voted the best in the North West.

They’re also close to major transport links like the M6 for a swift commute to Manchester, Liverpool and more. A direct train from Preston Station, only 7 miles away, will have you in London or Edinburgh in just over 2 hours.

The vibrant city of Preston has all the high street stores, museums, art galleries, bars, and gyms you could ask for, while nearby Longridge brings the small-town charm of carefully curated independent shops, a friendly local library, family-owned butcher and tempting tea rooms like the Old Station Cafe.

Longridge also plays host to much loved annual Field Day that sees a parade of themed floats and marching bands make their way around the town each June; a tradition that seems to grow in popularity each year. Supermarkets ranging from Booths and Sainsbury’s to Aldi and Morrisons are all within easy reach, and for everyday essentials there is a pharmacy, 2 village stores, and a convenient corner shop a very short walk away.
