Whalley Manor comprises two, three, four and five-bedroom homes available through outright sale and shared ownership, catering to a range of buyers looking to live in the picturesque Ribble Valley.

As well as high-quality homes, the site boasts 10 acres of open space, including a linear park and a ‘trim trail’, encouraging residents and the winder community to embrace the outdoors.

Claire Brenlund, L&Q sales and marketing director, said: ”We’re absolutely delighted Whalley Manor has been recognised as the Best New Development in the North at the First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards 2024.

“This award is a testament to the dedication of our entire team, who have worked tirelessly to create a community that not only offers beautiful, high-quality homes but also complements the stunning Ribble Valley landscape.”

Taking inspiration from the historic village of Whalley, all homes feature stone or traditional render finishes, slate grey roofs and heritage brickwork to complement their surroundings seamlessly.

 Claire added: “Whalley Manor is a development we’re truly proud of, and we’re excited to see it continue to flourish as a place where residents can enjoy the perfect balance of countryside charm and modern living.”
