Fernbank Modern Living By Fernbank Little Lever A selection of 3 and 4 bedroom homes and 2 bedroom apartments Modern living by Leafy Little Lever is a scenic, sought after suburb in Bolton, offering an ideal base for those seeking a life away from the bright lights of big cities and thriving towns. Intimate, welcoming and individual, the location is not only pleasing on the eye, but pleasing in proximity for commuter links to the whole of the North West. So, while you enjoy the serenity of open countryside, you’re only nine miles from the metropolis of Manchester and two miles from Bolton, Farnworth, Radcliffe and Bury. Once a tiny manor, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, the close-knit village of Little Lever has retained much of its original identity and benefits from a strong community spirit. But, Little Lever is also changing with the times and moving forward. Now home to some 14,000 residents, the village is attracting new investment, serving to improve facilities, boost the economy and enhance the housing market. Little Lever lies in close proximity to a wealth of leisure and entertainment facilities. The village itself boasts three large lakes and Moses Gate Country Park provides acres of tranquillity for walking, cycling or horse riding. Golf enthusiasts are catered for at Dunscar Golf Club in Bolton, while those looking for a more retail-indulgent experience will find big high street names at The Reebok Stadium’s Retail Park, over 80 shops at Crompton Place and a choice of designer outlets at Bromley Cross and Deansgate. Music and culture are well catered for in Bolton, with the Octagon Theatre, Albert Halls, Westhoughton Folk Club and The Sound House. Art gallery, library and museum, Bolton 2 Fernbank is one of the first new build developments in Little Lever for many years, Fernbank is a much anticipated venture comprising apartments, townhouses and detached homes by independent developer Rowland. It will feature 35 properties, designed to meet the ideals of the modern homebuyer and open up new opportunities in housing in the local area. Thoughtfully planned around a private cul-de-sac, young professionals and families will find quality, space and affordability at Fernbank, thanks to its choice of two bedroom apartments, three-bedroom townhouses and three and four-bedroom detached homes. Rowland is an independent, privately owned house builder in the North West of England. Established in 1993, the company has developed a proud track record for offering our customers a stylish range of high quality homes at affordable prices. At Rowland, we believe in offering a varied portfolio of traditional, modern and contemporary houses and apartments, in a range of sought after and convenient locations throughout the region. The environments that we create may vary in shape and size, but our commitment to quality means that all are built to the same exacting standards, whether it’s a one -bedroom studio apartment, a detached family home or a luxury penthouse. Little wonder then, that Rowland won ‘Best Luxury Development’ at the “Your New Home” Awards 2006. A category judged on the developer’s ability to create a development that distils the essence of genuine luxury - elegant proportions, space and specification. Modern interiors at Cuerden Grange, Euxton 4 All Rowland homes offer interesting design features, whilst careful interior planning ensures that we maximise every square metre of available living space. The latest heating, glazing and insulation products combine maximum comfort with minimal maintenance, in-keeping with today’s busy lifestyles. Our commitment to quality doesn’t stop inside the home though. A good deal of time and careful planning goes into the layout of each development. We believe in creating a neighbourhood, not an estate, blending the development and areas of public open space into the local environment in a complementary and often spectacular way. Whichever home you choose to buy and wherever you choose to live, we hope you’ll find one to suit your lifestyle.

  • A Footbridge for Little Lever Background/Context the Artist's
    A Footbridge for Little Lever Background/Context The Artist’s Brief A section 106 fund from a housing development at Cricketer‟s View in Little Lever has been allocated for the introduction of public art into the surrounding area for the benefit of residents of the property and the immediate area. In July 2010 artist Liam Curtin was appointed to develop a public art proposal for the area. (To refer to the full brief please see Appendix 1) People Artist: Liam Curtin Project Manager: Gaynor Cox The Steering Group Councillor Anthony Connell (Little Lever Ward Member) Councillor Maureen Connell (Little Lever Ward Member) Councillor Mary Woodward (Little Lever Ward Member) Paula Connor, Bolton Council Project Officer Gaynor Cox, Housing Arts Officer Consultation / Engagement activity The Consultation Forum There have been two meetings so far of this group which is made up of local residents and the Ward Councillors. The aim of the group is to be a sounding board for ideas and to guide the artist in local matters. Essentially it is the main context for the consultation process. In summary the first meeting on 22/11/2010 supported the idea of an artwork of some kind in the canal area but firmly discouraged the idea of any permanent floating structure. At the second meeting on 25/01/2011 there was 100 percent support for the artist‟s recent proposal of a footbridge over the canal which would connect Little Lever with Moses Gate Country Park. (For full reports on the Consultation Forum please see Appendix 2) Ship Shape One Saturday last October a group of local residents made a decorative floating sculpture by stitching thousands of CD‟s together.

  • GM Walking Festival Brochure 2016
    1 May – 31 May 2016 Over 200 free, guided walks in and around Manchester and districts Welcome Welcome to the 2016 Greater Manchester Walking Festival! With over 200 walks taking place throughout May, this year’s festival is all set to be even bigger and better than last. If you took part in the Walking Festival last year we hope you enjoyed it – perhaps you even joined a local group, and are considering participating this year. Whether you’re a seasoned walker or a relative newbie, within this guide you’ll find an exciting programme of walks, appealing to all ages, abilities and interests and covering the ten districts of Greater Manchester – Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. Each of the walks are led by experts and, with the exception of one or two specialist walks, are completely free, although some groups may ask for a membership fee if you want to walk with the group on a regular basis after you have given it a try. Remember to check out the many public transport options available by bus, tram or train – this is a great opportunity to explore areas further afield than your own doorstep. Transport for Greater Manchester coordinates the Walking Festival but it doesn’t deliver the walks itself – that’s all down to our enthusiastic walking partners, whether that’s local branches of the Ramblers, Walking for Health groups, community groups or walking groups linked to charitable organisations. We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our partners as obviously we couldn’t run this festival without you.
