Jones Homes prepares to welcome visitors to Barton as work progresses on new development

Work is progressing at a new homes development in Barton near Preston as Jones Homes prepares to welcome its first visitors to the site. Highcroft will be a development of 34 homes, located off Garstang Road on land behind Shepherds Farm, and opens to the public this Saturday (13 June). It signals Jones Homes' return to Preston, following on from recent developments at Ribbleswood Chase in Cottam, Walton Meadows in Walton le Dale, and Greenhill Gate in Penwortham. Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes in Lancashire, said: "Preston is a location where Jones Homes has a strong track record in providing high-quality and characterful new homes. This will be echoed at Highcroft, where we are making excellent progress." "We look forward to showcasing our plans to visitors at the launch of our sales office and a five-bedroom Mayfair show home, a new home style. We are already receiving enquiries as people can see the homes are taking shape. We're confident this location will prove popular among people who want to live close to the city of Preston and to the market town of Garstang while enjoying the benefits of village life." As part of its planning agreement with Wyre Council, Jones Homes will make significant contributions to local infrastructure, including primary and secondary education and sustainable transport projects. The housebuilder will also include 10 affordable homes within the development. Figures produced by the Home Builders Federation, known as the HBF, indicate that a development of 34 homes will support 118 local jobs, as well as funding infrastructure improvements in the area. Highcroft will feature new designs of three, four and five-bedroom homes. These have been developed by Jones Homes in response to customer feedback. The development will open at midday on Saturday 13 June, when visitors will be able to view the luxury five-bedroom Mayfair show home. Fresh stone-baked pizza and refreshments will also be served.

Two Jones Homes developments named as finalists in North West Homebuilder Awards

Jones Homes has been shortlisted in the North West Homebuilder Awards in both the Large Development and Small Development categories. Alderley Gardens, a heritage development in the grounds of Alderley Park, will compete for the Large Development award at the ceremony, which will take place on Thursday 18 June at Albert Hall in Manchester. Bollin View, a development of eight homes off Stanneylands in Wilmslow, is a finalist in the Small Development category. Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes North West, said: “Being named as a finalist in two categories at these prestigious awards is recognition of the exceptionally high standards we set. This incredible achievement reflects the dedication of our teams at both developments, and the support of colleagues at our head office in Alderley Edge. “At Alderley Gardens, the bespoke design of the homes, ecology-focused landscape and excellence in build quality have created a development which is befitting of its surroundings in the stunning setting of the 400-acre Alderley Park. “Bollin View presented different challenges due to its location close to Grade II Listed buildings. We created bespoke home styles to address the needs of local first-time buyers, families and downsizers while respecting the historic setting. “Both developments have their own distinctive character but share the Jones Homes hallmark of quality in design and build which they have been delivering for over 65 years.” Alderley Gardens has been designed with two distinct character areas, the Kitchen Garden and the Walled Garden. The Kitchen Garden is a development of 33 traditional-style homes which has been completed and will feature in the awards finals. Work is still underway at the Walled Garden, a collection of 17 homes with contemporary elevations. Original house designs were created for Alderley Gardens including architectural features to reflect the grandeur and elegance of the historic buildings within Alderley Park. Site manager Mick Simpson has won two NHBC Pride in the Job Awards in recognition of his skill and commitment in leading the development team. Homes at Bollin View are now all occupied. They range from bungalows to semi-detached houses and larger detached homes, creating a varied street scene surrounded by trees and green space. Carol said: “We are grateful to all our staff, sub-contractors and customers for their contribution to making Alderley Gardens and Bollin View developments that Jones Homes is extremely proud of.” To find out more about Jones Homes’ Alderley Gardens development see jones-homes.co.uk/new-homes/alderley-gardens/

Jones Homes secures land for 235-home development in Middlewich

Jones Homes has acquired a 37-acre site in Warmingham Lane, Middlewich, where it has begun building 235 new homes and will create green open spaces. The Cheshire-based housebuilder will also contribute more than £1.2 million towards the planned Middlewich Eastern Relief Road. The development, to be known as Warmingham Park, will include one to five-bedroom houses, bungalows and apartments. Around half of the site will become landscaped open space, featuring a children’s play area, new wildlife habitats and a community orchard. Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes North West, said: “Warmingham Park will create an attractive new neighbourhood on the edge of Middlewich. Our design team has worked to create a balance between the residential areas and nature spaces which will be open to the wider community. “Homes will range from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom detached houses with a variety of options in between, including four bungalows. This will address the need for more homes of all types in Middlewich. “Jones Homes is well known in Cheshire for building high-quality new homes with character. At Warmington Park, we have adapted our range of house types to reflect the local architecture. They will also be energy efficient, with low-carbon features such as air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points. “We look forward to starting work and seeing the new neighbourhood taking shape.” The contribution towards the relief road will be reallocated towards education or affordable housing if the road does not progress. Jones Homes is also providing 24 affordable homes for people with a connection to the local area as part of its planning agreement. Outline planning consent for the development was granted in 2019 and a reserved matters application showing the detailed layout was approved in December 2024.

LABC Awards Barrie Hassall and Mick Simpson

Jones Homes duo win coveted industry award in the North West

Two construction managers at Jones Homes sites in the North West have both won a prestigious industry award for the exceptional quality of their work. Barrie Hassell and Mick Simpson have both been named as winners in the Construction Specialist of the Year category in the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Building Excellence Awards 2025 for the North West region. Barrie is Senior Site Manager at Bowland Rise in the picturesque Lancashire village of Dolphinholme, near Lancaster, on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, where Jones Homes is building 27 properties off Abbeystead Road. The local authority for the project is Lancaster City Council. Mick is Senior Site Manager at Alderley Gardens in Nether Alderley, where the housebuilder is delivering 50 luxury homes in the stunning setting of Alderley Park – a 400-acre former country estate which is situated within the Cheshire East local authority area. As winners of the regional award, both Barrie and Mick are shortlisted as finalists in their category for the LABC Grand Finals at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, London, on 23 January, where the national winners will be announced. Alex Bedson, Construction Director at Jones Homes North West, said: “Everyone at Jones Homes congratulates Barrie and Mick on their fantastic achievement at being chosen as winners in the Construction Specialist of the Year category for the North West region. Their dedication to their craft and ability to lead a successful team are exceptional and make them worthy of such an accolade. “Barrie’s pursuit of excellence is fuelled by his desire to achieve exceptional levels of customer satisfaction. Since joining us at Jones Homes three years ago, Barrie has delivered an exceptional 100 per cent recommendation rate on all in-house and HBF (Home Builders Federation) surveys through his attention to detail in all areas of site management “Barrie’s two decades in construction have allowed him to accumulate a high level of technical expertise and experience and his clear and collaborative communication style has been integral to the success of the build at Bowland Rise. “Mick, who started in the industry 30 years ago and worked his way up from apprentice bricklayer to Senior Site Manager, is using all of his experience and knowledge to fulfil the complex brief for Alderley Gardens, where there are Grade II-listed buildings and structures within the immediate and wider setting. “The project involves the construction of a bespoke range of house designs, with architectural features and materials carefully selected to reflect the historic character of buildings in the vicinity. This work requires a meticulous attention to detail and excellent communication with the site team and they are two facets of the job that Mick excels in. “We are so pleased that Mick’s and Barrie’s exceptional work ethic and expertise has been recognised in this way and wish them all the best in the LABC Grand Finals in January.” Jones Homes is currently building new homes across the North West, at developments in Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria.

Elvaston home at Alderley Gardens phase 2

Jones Homes reopens historic Walled Garden at Alderley Park as it launches second phase of new homes

The historic Walled Garden within the stunning parkland setting of Alderley Park in Cheshire is reopening to visitors as Jones Homes launches the second phase of its exclusive Alderley Gardens development. The developer is unveiling a new four-bedroom Elvaston show home and releasing the first three houses for sale in phase two of the development, in Nether Alderley, on Saturday 6 September. Alderley Gardens comprises a total of 50 luxury homes – 33 three, four and five-bedroom properties which have been completed in the first phase within the former Kitchen Garden, and 17 four-bedroom houses in the Walled Garden Collection, which are now being built. Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes North West, said: “It will be an absolute pleasure to welcome visitors to join us as we reopen the historic Walled Garden at Alderley Gardens, where we are building a collection of energy-efficient and stylish four-bedroom family homes. “We will be releasing three new homes in three different styles – the Elvaston, Carisbrooke and Pembridge. Although there are different looks and designs to suit a variety of tastes, all of these houses offer a thoughtful and spacious internal lay-out which offer the flexibility and comfort that modern buyers are looking for. “These homes feature expansive areas of glazing, including floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interiors with natural light and offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape.” Jones Homes North West is creating two distinct areas at Alderley Gardens, using sensitive approaches for each in terms of layout, aesthetics and materials. The design of homes within the Walled Garden is much more contemporary than the traditional-style properties built within the Kitchen Garden, which echo the stables and original house at Alderley Park. In contrast, homes in the Walled Garden Collection feature large areas of glazing alongside exposed oak to reference structures such as orangeries and glasshouses. The brickwork style, gables and pitched slate roofs echo gardeners’ cottages while horizontal weatherboarding is reminiscent of garden structures. Carol said: “The interior of the Elvaston show home, which features a spacious open-plan kitchen/family/dining area, bi-fold doors, home audio and underfloor heating, has been designed to match the contemporary feel of the external appearance of the property. “The house has been carefully furnished and decorated by our team of interior design experts and really does provide the wow factor for visitors to this gorgeous setting.” Alderley Park is a 400-acre parkland site, previously home to an imposing country house dating back to the 16th century. It now features a state-of-the-art gymnasium, sports and leisure facilities, a gastro pub, and coffee shops. Complimentary champagne and canapes will be served to visitors at the launch of the Walled Garden Collection on Saturday 6 September between midday and 4pm.

Jones Homes begins work on new homes in Barton, near Preston

Jones Homes has started work on an exclusive enclave which will bring 34 new homes to the Lancashire village of Barton, near Preston.

Your First Step to the Front Door: A First-time Buyer's FAQ

If you're reading this, the chances are you've started scrolling through new homes for sale, saving your favourite floorplans, and wondering if you’re ready to make the leap from scrolling to owning. Buying your first home is a significant moment. It should feel exciting, but not overwhelming. At Jones Homes, we’ve been guiding buyers through this journey for over 65 years with straight-talking advice, a bit of patience and genuine support. To help you get your head around the process, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we hear from first-time buyers looking for their dream home. Q: How much can I actually afford? This is always the best place to start, and honestly - you don’t need to guess. We can help guide you through this from day one. Our recommended independent financial advisors will look at your earnings, outgoings, savings and any existing debt. From there, they’ll confirm how much you could borrow and provide something called a Mortgage Agreement in Principle (AIP). It’s not a full mortgage offer, but this is a really useful first step. It tells you what is realistic, and it shows estate agents and housebuilders that you’re likely able to secure finance. So before you fall in love with a particular plot, we recommend getting your AIP in place. This will save you time and help avoid unnecessary setbacks. Q: How do I reserve a property? Once you’ve found what you think might be your dream new build home and you’ve checked if it sits comfortably within what a lender is willing to offer, it’s time to make your reservation appointment. After finding a home you love and once we’ve agreed the terms, we’ll move to complete the reservation forms. You’ll need a few bits to hand, including your contact details, full names and information about the solicitor and financial advisor you intend to use for your purchase. If you don’t have those yet, don’t worry, we can make recommendations for both. The goal here is to help you proceed with confidence, not confusion. Q: How much is the reservation deposit? The reservation deposit is dependent upon the purchase price and ranges from £250-£2000. Sales advisors can guide you on the reservation deposit required for the property of interest. This is a deposit, not an extra charge, and will be taken off the purchase price. Think of it as the first real commitment you make towards owning your first home. Q: Can I reserve a home that’s still being built? Yes. If the plot has been released for sale, you can reserve it while it’s still under construction. You’ll get to watch your home take shape, brick by brick, and you’ll often have a say in the finishes. Think kitchen styles, worktops, tiles, flooring, paint colours. The little details that make a new house feel like yours. We also have an Earlybird scheme. If the home you’ve got your heart set on hasn’t even been released for sale yet, you can secure first refusal by paying a small, refundable deposit. It buys you time and peace of mind. Q: What happens if I change my mind/cancel my reservation? Once you’ve completed the reservation form and paid your reservation fee, you enter a 14-day cooling-off period. During that time, if you decide not to proceed, your reservation deposit is fully refundable. Q: What does “exchange of contracts” actually mean? It sounds formal, because it is, but it’s also a good thing. Exchange of contracts is the point where things become legally binding. You’re committed to buy, and we’re committed to sell. At this stage, you’ll be asked to pay a deposit, usually 10% but in some cases we may agree to reduce this depending upon your mortgage and deposit position. Once contracts are exchanged, the dream of owning a new home is one step closer. Q: What happens at legal completion? Legal completion is the moment ownership of the home transfers from us to you. You’re no longer a buyer. You’re a homeowner. It can feel a little daunting at first, especially for first-time buyers. But here’s what you need to know: your new Jones home is covered by a 10-year warranty through the NHBC and for the first two years of that period you’ll benefit from 2-years of Jones Homes aftercare. So if something doesn’t feel right, or you just have a question three months in, you’re not on your own. Ready to take the next step?
