Feature Development – Galloways Reach, Lancaster

Hollins Homes is busy in the Lancashire village of Galgate creating a range of high-specification houses at Galloways Reach, a new development in the village of Galgate, four miles south of Lancaster city centre.

This new luxury development of 67 houses offers a countryside setting combined with easy access to all the amenities of the city and the connectivity of the M6, a few minutes’ drive away and putting a number of major towns and cities a commutable journey away.

The village itself has a few useful shops and a couple of pubs, as well as a primary school rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. But a few minutes’ drive to the north, past the extensive campus of Lancaster University, there’s a wealth of useful and enjoyable options in the city. Lancaster has plenty of shops along its streets and the St Nics and Marketgate Shopping Centres, with national names and lots of independent outlets, all complemented by many places to eat and drink, and entertainment in its theatre and multiscreen cinema. Families will admire the choice of ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ schools and academies.

Lancaster station is close to the city centre and very well served by services to the likes of Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and London.

This area around Galloways Reach is especially good for lovers of the great outdoors, being on the edge of the Forest of Bowland AONB and a short drive away from the beaches of coast at Morecambe down to Blackpool. There are also waterside walks along the Lancaster Canal. It’s only half-an-hour to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales too.

There have already been successful sales at Galloways Reach since its launch last month, and there are plenty more options to come with future releases. Right now, the ‘Wellington+’ is for sale, priced from £474,995, and this double-fronted detached home is a great example of the build quality and architectural style of this development, combining tradition-led design with modern materials and specification. The central hallway opens to two bay-windowed rooms at the front of the house, one a lounge, the other a study. Past the cloakroom and useful storage cupboard and at the rear of the house is the expansive, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with utility room, breakfast bar and bifold doors to the garden. Upstairs, three of the five bedrooms are doubles (two of them having an en suite shower room) This home comes with detached double garage and driveway.

Now launched, Galloways Reach is open to visitors from Thursday to Monday, 10.00am to 5.00pm. Find out more from Hollins Homes.
