Lanley Homes are pleased to announce the launch of their new dedicated website www.lanleyhomes.co.uk which comes following the sale of the last house at their Station Road site in Croston, a small village to the West of Chorley.

New Lanley Homes Website

The Croston development provided four superb semi-detached homes which were finished to a very high standard.

Development Manager, Neil McManus commented “We always knew that this development would be popular as Croston is a sought after location. With 100ft gardens and off road parking these houses were unique in the locality. Despite these exclusive selling points we still provided a higher standard specification than is normal in this size bracket. Each home had bi-fold doors to the rear as standard and was future proofed with internet and HDMI cabling throughout.

The development at Croston has proved a huge success and now the new website is live we are hoping to build on that accomplishment through new development opportunities.”
