Taylor Wimpey, a large UK housebuilder, holds a 5-star rating for customer satisfaction from the Home Builders Federation, meaning over 90% of customers would recommend them. However, prospective buyers should note that independent reviews of the builder's track record across the UK can be mixed regarding consistency of build quality and aftercare service. The development offers a variety of house types, constructed in traditional stone, buff, and red brick styles. Available homes include the 3-bedroom semi-detached Braxton (from £266,995) and the 4-bedroom detached homes such as the Trusdale (from £322,995) and the Manford (from £360,995). For larger families, the 5-bedroom Lavenham is available (from £399,995). A key focus is on sustainable and energy-efficient living. All new build homes at Riven Stones are equipped with modern energy-saving features, including PV solar panels, EV car charging points, and triple glazing, which are intended to lower both energy bills and carbon emissions. The standard specification includes modern white Ideal Standard sanitaryware, an Aqualisa shower in en-suites, and a Zanussi oven with a gas hob. Buyers can personalise their home by choosing from a range of Porcelanosa ceramic wall tiles for the bathrooms and various kitchen unit styles via the Options Online tool, subject to the build stage of the chosen plot. Gardens are provided with a fully turfed and landscaped front garden, a slabbed rear patio, and a privacy fence. Riven Stones is situated in a semi-rural area approximately one mile from Feniscowles village, which provides access to local shops, pubs, and community amenities. For commuters, the development offers convenient road links: the major M65 and M61 motorways are easily reachable, providing connections to Blackburn, Preston, and Manchester. Cherry Tree train station, located just over a mile away, offers regular rail services into Blackburn, with the town centre reachable by car in around 15 minutes. Local amenities include Pleasington Golf Club, which is under two miles away, and a selection of nearby primary and secondary schools. Footpaths from the development connect directly to the surrounding countryside, appealing to dog walkers and those seeking outdoor leisure. The development is well underway, with many residents already having moved into their new homes. A variety of incentives, including contributions towards deposit or Stamp Duty (up to 5% of the purchase price), are available on selected plots; interested parties should contact the Taylor Wimpey sales executive for terms and eligibility. Specific viewing arrangements, including the availability of show homes and the confirmation of council tax and tenure details, must be obtained directly from the developer.
