Sandpiper Grange - An ideal place for family living and the good life

COMMUNITY

Sandpiper Grange is a triumph of design and build, with a spacious, airy and natural feel to the development, augmented by specific areas designed to act as open spaces and to attract wildlife - in fact, within the development, there is an entire wildlife corridor dedicated to this purpose.

In addition, there are several green spaces that are placed in such a way as to give the development a feel of different village areas brought together as a single community.

There is an extensive choice of properties for sale, including an impressive range of detached family houses and semi-detached homes - many featuring either integral or detached garage, along with extensive parking areas to each property. Great care and attention has been given to creating an organic feel to the development, so houses are individually designed and built in different styles in order to create the ambience of a place that has grown up over time, embracing all that is best in different historic periods and architectural styles.

Skilful use of different colours, styles and layouts of brick ensure that every home has a unique style. The interiors of homes at Sandpiper Grange benefit similarly from a sense of individuality; premium-quality interior design features, fixtures and fittings reflect contemporary tastes in lifestyle choices and interior space layouts. Open-plan environments allow for a free flow of light and living areas, in which room boundaries can be defined according to individual tastes and preferences.

Signature features such as bays and dormers, gables and different rooflines further add to the feeling of uniqueness - whilst individual doors, porches and windows are placed in such a way as to give each property additional character.

Welcome to Cottam

Marking the ancient north-western boundary of the city of Preston are the areas of Salwick and Ingol, Cadley and Cottam. Beyond this boundary, where Cottam lies, are the gentle lands of the Fylde - that lowland landscape of rivers, fields and charming small villages whose western edges are defined by the Lancashire coast.

With its own character, individuality and unique place in the landscape, Cottam is fewer than five miles from the centre of Preston, a thriving university city with a proud history of cotton production and manufacturing during the Industrial Revolution. This distinguished heritage has defined the city centre's architecture of fine and noble period buildings, many of which have been tastefully restored and converted to uses as varied as hotels, restaurants, bars and shops. Preston is also a river city with a fascinating maritime past, the River Ribble linking Preston to the sea at nearby Lytham.

There are many excellent Primary and Secondary schools near to Cottam, and Preston has a university with an outstanding academic reputation. Cottam is close to local supermarkets and retail parks (as near as three miles away) and nearby Preston city centre is home to a wide range of popular national retailers as well as many independent shops, cafés, pubs, bars and cinemas. Preston is ideally placed for exploring the local landscape, with the entire Lancashire coast close by, from the Ribble estuary and genteel Lytham St. Anne's in the south up to Blackpool, Fleetwood and Morecambe Bay. To the east of Preston are both the lovely Ribble Valley and the Trough of Bowland, each offering endless opportunities for rural days out and exploration.

There are rapid local and regional road links from Preston - the M6 and M55 are both easily accessible - and from Preston railway station, the West Coast rail line provides fast services to Manchester, London and Scotland.
