Taylor Wimpey Manchester is opening the doors to its Half Penny Meadows development in Clitheroe this weekend, giving potential buyers the chance to experience the setting, the homes and the surrounding Ribble Valley for themselves.
From 11am on Saturday 17 January and Sunday 18 January, visitors are invited to the development on Pendle Road to explore the site, view available properties and get a sense of what life at Half Penny Meadows could look like. The event is aimed at those considering a move to Clitheroe, a town long recognised for its quality of life and strong local character.
Across both days, Sales Executives and Independent Financial Advisors will be available to answer questions on mortgages, affordability and the homebuying process. Taylor Wimpey says the weekend is designed to give buyers practical support alongside the opportunity to walk the development and see progress on site.
Half Penny Meadows sits on the edge of Clitheroe, a historic market town in the Borough of Ribble Valley, around 34 miles north west of Manchester. Often used as a base for exploring the Forest of Bowland, Clitheroe has repeatedly featured in national rankings of the best places to live, with both the town and the wider Ribble Valley highlighted for health, happiness and overall quality of life.
The development benefits from its proximity to local amenities and open countryside. Views towards Pendle Hill and across the Ribble Valley sit alongside access to schools, shops, parks, golf courses, cafés and restaurants. Transport links include nearby access to the A59 and M65, as well as rail services connecting Clitheroe with Manchester Victoria and destinations beyond.
Taylor Wimpey says Half Penny Meadows has been designed with sustainability in mind. Homes at the development include features such as PV panels, EV charging points and triple glazing, reflecting growing demand for energy efficient new homes. Current prices range from £189,995 for a two bedroom apartment to £405,995 for a four bedroom detached house.
Rachel Barber, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey Manchester, said: “We are so excited to be welcoming potential buyers to our Half Penny Meadows development for our Muddy Boots event this weekend. We know how important it is for buyers to visit their new home ahead of time, which is why this event is a brilliant opportunity for visitors.
“If you’re looking to meet our fantastic sales team, connect with future neighbours, and explore the wider development, all while starting to imagine life in a Taylor Wimpey home, we’d love you to join us from 11am on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th January. Just bring your boots along and come and see everything Half Penny Meadows has to offer!”
Clitheroe itself combines a deep sense of history with modern living. Landmarks such as Clitheroe Castle, one of the smallest Norman keeps in Great Britain, sit alongside a thriving town centre and established local employers. The town’s past includes its role in medieval England, early industrial development and even the testing of jet engine technology during the Second World War, traces of which remain in local place names.
Taylor Wimpey says the Half Penny Meadows open weekend is an opportunity for buyers to see how a new development fits into this wider setting, offering modern homes within a town that continues to attract residents from across Lancashire and beyond.
