Brookwood Chase

Brookwood Chase is a completed new build residential development by Persimmon Homes, located on Brookwood Way within the established and popular community of Buckshaw Village, Chorley, Lancashire, PR7 7LX. The development is situated on the eastern edge of Buckshaw Village, ideally positioned between the market towns of Leyland (approx. 2.5 miles) and Chorley (approx. 4 miles). This community is defined by its strategic location and planned local infrastructure. Prospective homebuyers should note that Brookwood Chase is fully sold out, and properties are only available via the resale market.

Property Details

The development comprised a range of new build homes, often catering to families and couples. Typical properties include generously-proportioned detached family homes. For example, the 'Lockwood Corner' house type features a bright, spacious dual-aspect living room and a modern open-plan kitchen/dining room, with French doors leading directly to the garden. Resale examples, such as a 5-bedroom detached house on Westland Place, confirm specifications that include a main bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a separate utility room, a downstairs W/C, and a built-in single garage with driveway parking. Standard fixtures and fittings are modern, with practical layouts designed for contemporary family living.

Location Benefits

Brookwood Chase offers exceptional connectivity by both road and rail, providing a practical advantage for commuters. The development is a stone’s throw from link roads accessing the M6 and M61 motorways. The dedicated local railway station, Buckshaw Parkway, is approximately 0.5 miles from the site, offering frequent Northern rail services. Train journey times from Buckshaw Parkway are approximately 24 to 29 minutes to Preston and around 1 hour to Manchester. Local bus routes, including the 109 and 114, serve the area.

Buckshaw Village amenities are comprehensive and include a newly built health centre (GPs and dentists), a sports centre with a swimming pool, and excellent local schools. For shopping, a Tesco Extra is just minutes away, and the Buckshaw Retail Centre provides a pharmacy, coffee shops, and restaurants. Green spaces and leisure activities are easily accessible, with country walks in the local area and near Rivington & Anglezarke.

Practical Information & Developer Profile

As the development is complete, current pricing is only available for resale properties. A recent market example shows a 5-bedroom detached home in the development listed for sale at £360,000 in April 2025. The developer, Persimmon Homes, is one of the UK’s largest housebuilders. The company is an HBF 5-star builder, an accolade that reflects the fact that more than nine out of ten customers would recommend them to a friend. However, prospective buyers researching resales should be aware that the developer has previously faced criticism over build quality, including a 2020 independent review that cited a “systemic nationwide failure” regarding fire-stopping cavity barriers. Buyers are advised to commission a comprehensive survey on any resale property. For details on specific plot resales, buyers should contact local estate agents. All original plots are sold.
