Romans Green

Development Overview

Romans Green is a new build property development by Barratt Homes, located off Lightfoot Lane in Fulwood, Preston, Lancashire, PR4 0FG. The development has introduced a collection of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom homes to the Lightfoot Green area, offering an accessible mix of city convenience and countryside proximity. The scheme is reaching completion, with the development over 95% sold out, indicating strong market demand. Only the final homes remain for purchase.

Developer Barratt Homes (part of Barratt Redrow plc) is one of the UK’s largest residential property developers, with a long-standing track record in housebuilding since 1958. The company has consistently achieved a 5-star rating in the Home Builders Federation (HBF) new home Customer Satisfaction Survey for 15 consecutive years. Prospective buyers are advised to conduct due diligence regarding specific local site management and aftercare, as general customer reviews across the wider business have, in some instances, noted concerns.

Property Details

The final remaining properties on the development primarily focus on two-bedroom layouts, such as the 'Denford' house type. The 'Denford' is a two-bedroom end-terrace property featuring an open-plan design, including a lounge with French doors opening to the garden and two double bedrooms upstairs with space for wardrobes. Each new build home at Romans Green benefits from a 10-year warranty. All homes are constructed to current energy-efficiency standards, offering a more efficient living solution than comparable older properties. For details on specific layouts, energy ratings, and optional upgrades, prospective buyers should contact the developer directly.

The development's position in Fulwood provides pragmatic access to both local amenities and regional transport infrastructure.
