Show home inside Alderley Park’s former Walled Garden wins interior design award

A luxury show home built within the historic former Walled Garden at Alderley Park has won a prestigious interior design award. The four-bedroom Elvaston at Jones Homes’ Alderley Gardens development in Nether Alderley was named a winner in the Residential Interior (Show Home) category for Cheshire at the 2026-27 United Kingdom Property Awards. The awards, which were held at The Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on Friday 23 October, recognise excellence and high standards in the property industry. Designed by Bec Spencer Designs, the Elvaston show home at Alderley Gardens features an aspirational, contemporary scheme which reflects the home’s historic location and the idyllic rural setting of the development. The careful use of gold and bronze elements, curved shapes and natural wood have created a sophisticated yet comfortable interior, while botanical patterns act as a reminder of the garden’s former culinary purpose. Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes North West, said: “Receiving this prestigious award is wonderful recognition for the fantastic work of our interior designers and construction team in creating this stylish and inspirational home for modern families. The Elvaston features a spacious layout, luxurious specification and excellent standard of construction, complemented by a sophisticated interior design scheme. “With an exterior design influenced by traditional garden structures such as orangeries, glasshouses and gardeners’ cottages, we were keen for the interior to also reflect the site’s distinctive heritage. “It was also important that the design appealed to a range of affluent buyers, including those working in Cheshire’s sporting, media, aviation and business sectors. Bec Spencer Designs have done an excellent job in balancing those demands to create a home which is stylish and luxurious yet exudes a sense of rural charm.” The Elvaston show home is one of 17 properties being built within the former Walled Garden at Alderley Gardens, which forms the second phase of the development. A further 33 homes have already been completed on the site of the former kitchen garden in phase one. Situated on land off Eagles Road, the development is located within the 400-acre Alderley Park, which features a state-of-the-art gymnasium, sports and leisure facilities, gastro pub and coffee shops. A selection of four-bedroom homes are currently available to reserve at Alderley Gardens, with prices starting from £999,995.

Jones Homes buys land to build 41 homes in Woodhouses

Jones Homes is to build 41 homes in Woodhouses near Failsworth after completing the purchase of land in the village. Detailed plans for the project, on a 3.9-acre site south of Ashton Road, were approved by Oldham Council in January this year. The new homes will be a mix of three and four-bedroom semi-detached and detached houses, including four affordable homes. All properties will be heated by electric air source heat pumps and have an electric vehicle charging point. The development, which will be known as Woodhouses Gate, will also feature new green open space to the south of the homes to include a new attenuation pond, while new trees, shrubs, bulbs and a wildflower meadow will be planted to enhance biodiversity. Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes North West, said: "We have carefully planned this development to be a seamless addition to the charming village of Woodhouses, with the new homes designed using materials and architectural details which are a feature of existing homes in the locality. "This will be a highly sustainable development, with energy-efficient homes complemented by electric air source heat pumps to help residents minimise both their energy use and their carbon footprint, and electric vehicle charging points to encourage greener travel. The landscaping design will also support wildlife by creating new habitats. "This is a convenient location for people to live, within walking distance of the village primary school, church and pubs, while it’s just over a mile into nearby Failsworth, and just seven miles into Manchester city centre. "With the purchase of the land now complete, we are looking forward to starting work on site in October and anticipate releasing the first properties for sale in late 2027." Jones Homes North West is building homes across the region, with more details available at jones-homes.co.uk.

Jones Homes supports Wilmslow Art Trail on its return to the town centre

Alderley Edge-based Jones Homes has supported the return of the Wilmslow Art Trail to the heart of the town, hosting work by a local artist and sponsoring the opening night of the Wilmslow Art exhibition. For the first time since 2019, the event began as a trail through Wilmslow town centre. From 25th September, businesses across the town displayed work by artists taking part in the exhibition. The trail ran alongside Wilmslow Home Interiors Week, inviting visitors to explore local shops and showrooms as they followed it. The trail culminated in the Wilmslow Art exhibition, the town's annual contemporary art fair, held at the United Reformed Church Halls on Chapel Lane from 2nd to 4th October. Thirty artists, makers and potters from across the region showcased and sold their work over the weekend. Jones Homes sponsored the opening night event on Friday 2nd October, welcoming guests with drinks as the exhibition got under way. The event was a resounding success for all involved, with guests joining to celebrate the town and those creatives who joined the trail. Jones Homes' Sales & Information Centre on Grove Street was one of the stops on the trail, displaying work by Wilmslow-based mixed media artist Margaret Veldman-Jones. Originally from the Netherlands, Margaret combines acrylics with collage, print and pattern to create vibrant pieces, often featuring endangered wildlife. She has been a finalist at London's Sketch for Survival exhibition, and her rhino, Ukoo, was shortlisted for the 2025 Artist of the Year award. Jones Homes is a family-owned housebuilder, founded in Cheshire and based locally in Alderley Edge. Supporting the communities where it builds has always been part of how the business works, and Wilmslow is home to three of its current developments at Sunfield, Sanctuary Court and Sanctuary Wilmslow. Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director at Jones Homes North West said, "We were founded in Cheshire and we're still family-owned, so Wilmslow feels very much like home to us. The town is particularly close to our hearts, as we have had a strong presence here over many years and have built lasting connections within the local community. Supporting the Art Trail as it returned to the town centre was an easy decision. It was a pleasure to welcome guests on the opening night and to have Margaret's work in our Grove Street window throughout the trail. With Home Interiors Week running alongside, it felt like a natural fit. The pieces people choose to live with are what make a home feel like their own." Tessa Matthews of Wilmslow Art Trail added, “It has been a real pleasure working with the Jones Homes team on the Art Trail, where they have been paired with one of our talented Wilmslow artists. It’s wonderful to be working with a local business that supports community led organisations such as ours. This important, contemporary and creative event in Wilmslow, showcases 30 exceptional Northern artists and makers and attracts people from around the North West. We are grateful for the Jones Homes enthusiasm and support as we celebrate the opening of Wilmslow Art this weekend.” Visitors who missed the weekend can still contact the artists directly about available pieces and commissions. Details of every exhibiting artist are at wilmslowarttrail.co.uk.

Jones Homes set to build 80 homes at new development in Wilmslow

Jones Homes is set to build 80 new homes in Wilmslow after detailed plans for the project were approved in principle by Cheshire East councillors. The new homes will be located off Dean Row Road and will include 56 two, three, four and five-bedroom houses for private sale, alongside 24 affordable homes for social rent or shared ownership. The Jones Homes development will be part of a wider neighbourhood of 168 homes which will be built as a joint venture between the Cheshire-based housebuilder and Taylor Wimpey. The wider scheme was approved by Cheshire East Council’s Strategic Planning Board on Wednesday (16 September), subject to the completion of a Section 106 agreement. This will secure developer contributions towards local services and infrastructure, which are expected to include payments for schools, sports facilities, allotments and open space. Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes North West, said: “We are pleased that councillors have approved our plans for this site off Dean Row Road in Wilmslow, an extension of the popular Heathfield Farm development, which will provide a range of high-quality housing for the local area. “We have worked closely with the local council to tailor our proposals to the needs of the local community. “This will be a highly attractive place for people to put down roots, with green open spaces, footpaths and children’s play areas. It will also be sustainable, with each house heated by an air source heat pump and significant improvements in wildlife habitats. “We are looking forward to finalising the planning agreement for the project and then starting work on site. We hope to be in a position to have homes available to purchase in Summer 2027.” Jones Homes North West, which is based in Alderley Edge, is currently building new homes at three developments in Wilmslow: Sanctuary Court, Sanctuary Wilmslow, and Sunfield.

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. For more information on Jones Homes, or its plans for Highcroft, see https://www.jones-homes.co.uk/new-homes/highcroft/. Update: Highcroft at Barton is now open and welcoming visitors looking for a prestigious and welcoming place to call home. Our stunning Mayfair Show Home is available to view from Thursday - Monday.

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. For more information about the event and the new homes at Alderley Gardens, visit jones-homes.co.uk/alderley-gardens.

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? If you’ve been looking at new homes for sale and have any other questions about the homebuying process, we’re here to support you. Visit our developments, speak to our Sales Advisors, or just browse our current homes online. No pressure. Just honest advice, and over six decades of experience behind it. Because finding your dream new home should feel like the start of something special. Discover our new build developments across the UK today here.
