Their search took them around a number of different developments, but Kingswood Homes stood out for its distinctive approach to design and the opportunity for buyers to shape their home around the way they live.
After viewing several different house types, the family decided the Weaver 4 offered the layout, space and specification that felt right for them.
“For us, the three things that mattered most when choosing our new home were the interior layout, energy efficiency, and the peace of mind that comes with a 10-year warranty. The Weaver 4 delivered on all three, giving us the layout that we were looking for,” Paul explained. The Weaver 4 has an excellent open-plan kitchen/diner/living space to the rear of the home with patio doors leading to the turfed rear garden. To the front of the home there is a spacious family lounge, while the hallway provides access to practical ground floor spaces designed for everyday family life.
Green Hills Farmstead Collection brings together contemporary, barn-inspired homes in a countryside setting on the edge of Blackburn. Inspired by traditional Lancashire farmsteads, the collection has been designed to combine characterful architecture with modern family living, with features such as full height windows, natural materials and flexible layouts that help make the most of light and space.
The development itself has been carefully planned around open green spaces, pocket parks and swales, creating a development that feels connected to its natural surroundings. With nine distinct areas of open space, equivalent to around four football pitches, Green Hills offers residents room to enjoy the outdoors while still being close to the conveniences of Blackburn and the wider Lancashire area.
Paul, Kelly and their children Liam, Katie and Holly were particularly drawn to Green Hills because of the quality of the homes and the uniqueness of Kingswood’s developments. They had considered a number of other options, but felt Kingswood offered something different.
“We looked around a lot of developments, but the uniqueness and ability to shape your home really stood out,” Kelly said.
While Paul and Kelly ultimately found the standard layout worked perfectly for their family with no changes needed, it was Kingswood’s flexibility and the option to shape their home that first drew them in. “We were happy with the way the home had been designed and felt it worked for our family’s needs without needing to make any changes,” Kelly explained.
As part of the Farmstead Collection, homes at Green Hills also benefit from a high specification as standard, with energy-saving features designed to support more efficient, comfortable living. Every new home also comes with a 10-year structural warranty, giving buyers added peace of mind. For Paul and Kelly, this added to the reassurance of choosing a new build home that would suit their family now and in the years ahead.

Their new home journey did not come without its challenges. “Our first buyers pulled out of our property sale, but we managed to secure a buyer quickly. Kingswood’s in-house sales progressor, Kerry, was very supportive with us while going through the sale with our second buyer,” they said.
Now settled into their new Weaver 4 at Green Hills, the family are beyond happy with their overall experience with Kingswood Homes. Kelly said, “We would not hesitate to recommend Kingswood Homes. We are very happy at Green Hills.”
For Paul, Kelly and their children, the move to Green Hills has given them a new-build home that combines the practical layout they needed, the efficiency and reassurance they wanted, and the distinctive character that first drew them to Kingswood Homes.
