At Green Hills, they found that in the Rivington 5M. With Kingswood Homes’ Shape Your Home concept, they were able to tailor the layout and finishes to suit the way their family lives.
As they looked to upsize, Ian and Kirsty were clear about what mattered: generous outdoor space, a practical interior layout and a well-connected location. After discovering Green Hills online, they booked an appointment to visit the show home and knew instantly that the development was right for them.
The Rivington 5M is a detached home part of the Homestead Collection at Green Hills, offering 2,000 sq ft of living space inspired by Georgian architecture. As standard, it has five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Ian and Kirsty kept the standard first floor layout, which suited their family’s needs and includes a stunning master bedroom with a dressing area and en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath.
Being able to tailor the property was one of the things that first drew the family to Kingswood Homes. Through Shape Your Home, they chose the open-plan entertainment ground floor layout which created a snug off the open-plan kitchen/diner with access to the rear garden.
“We wanted to create a home that suited our lifestyle and personal preferences, so having the opportunity to customise the property before moving in was a huge benefit,” says Kirsty. “The team were extremely helpful in guiding us through the options and accommodating our requests. Being able to personalise so much of our home during the build process made it feel like ours from the moment we walked through the door. We’re absolutely delighted with the finished result.”
The move was not without its challenges. Delays and complications with the couple’s property chain and solicitors meant their completion date changed several times. Throughout, the Kingswood team stayed in regular contact, kept them updated and worked around their changing circumstances.
“Their flexibility and willingness to accommodate our circumstances made a real difference, and we genuinely appreciated their support in helping us get everything over the line,” says Ian.
For Ian and Kirsty, it was the people at Kingswood who made the difference.
“A special mention has to go to the sales consultant, Donna, who has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish,” says Ian. “Nothing has ever been too much trouble for her, and she’s always gone above and beyond to help us, answer our questions and make sure everything was taken care of. We never felt like we were just another customer. It was clear that Donna and the team genuinely cared about our experience.”
Green Hills also gave the family the setting they were looking for. Set on a Lancashire hillside in Feniscowles, the development looks across the countryside towards the West Pennine Moors. Village greens, a wildflower meadow, a linear park and footpaths – including access to Witton Weaver’s Way – offer plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors. Blackburn town centre and the motorway network are also within easy reach.
Now settled in, Ian and Kirsty say the home’s quality and attention to detail have exceeded their expectations. They have created a space that works for the whole family, and they’re excited for the years ahead.
“We’ve managed to create exactly the home we wanted, and seeing everything come together has made the entire journey worthwhile,” says Ian. “We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Kingswood Homes. We’re incredibly proud of our new home and look forward to making many happy memories here as a family.”
Three Homestead show homes are open at Green Hills, Thursday to Monday, 10am–5pm. Only four plots remain at the Ridge Heights phase, and the new Woodland Grove phase has just launched. Get in touch to find out more.
