Development Overview

Tabley Green is a new build residential development by Redrow Homes, located on Lightfoot Lane in Higher Bartle, Preston, Lancashire (PR4 0LA). The development is situated on the north-west edge of the city, offering a semi-rural setting that overlooks open farmland while maintaining direct access to key urban infrastructure. The scheme, which launched its first phase in 2017 and was named the 'Best in Lancashire' at the UK Property Awards in 2019, is now nearing its final stage of completion. The entire development comprises a total of 251 properties across its three phases.

Property Details

This development exclusively features energy-efficient homes from Redrow’s award-winning Heritage Collection, which combines traditional Arts and Crafts-inspired architecture with modern, open-plan interior design. The available properties consist of three- and four-bedroom detached homes. Current pricing for the remaining homes starts from £390,000. The final available plots are predominantly four-bedroom designs, including house types such as 'The Harrogate', 'The Chester', 'The Shaftesbury', and the three-bedroom 'Leamington Lifestyle'.
