Wain Homes has three show homes opening at The Paddocks over the weekend of Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September, which gives buyers the first proper chance to walk the new house types instead of reading them off a floorplan. Doors open from 10am both days at Bartle Lane, Lower Bartle, PR4 0RU.

The Elmhurst And The Highstone Are Both Four Bedroom

Both come out of the Ascend collection, the range Wain has been putting into Phase 3 here. The Elmhurst is a two storey detached with a ground floor study and, on the larger plots, a detached double garage, and it has been listing around £419,950. A third show home completes the set.
Prices across the development start nearer £255,950 for the two bedroom homes, so the three dressed houses sit well above the entry point and should be read that way.
Every House On This Development Runs On An Air Source Heat Pump
There is no gas boiler in any of them. That is the largest practical difference between these houses and the older stock around Bartle, and a furnished show home is the right place to push on it.
- Running costs across a full winter rather than a headline annual figure.
- Whether the radiators have been sized for lower flow temperatures.
- How the hot water cylinder is set and how long it takes to recover.
- Who services the pump, and when.
A heat pump works best left running long and low, so the heating habits most people bring from a gas house will need adjusting. Somebody on site should be able to walk you through the controls in one of the dressed homes.
