Cheshire East is a region of the North West known for its incredible views and its many celebrity residents.

We’re proud to be responsible for some of the finest new builds in Cheshire East – with previous developments spread across Congleton, Crewe, Handforth, Macclesfield, Middlewich, and Wilmslow. We are looking forward to adding to that legacy with our new development in Poynton.

Where are the best places to live in Cheshire East

Just like with our new build homes, Cheshire East is not a one-size-fits-all kind of place.

While some of the better-known towns in Cheshire include affluent areas like Alderley Edge or the Golden Triangle (Wilmslow, Knutsford and Prestbury) – famous for being home to footballers like Beckham and Rashford – there are also quieter, more rural areas like the village of Lach Dennis, perfect for young families or pet owners (especially with all the running around space).

With Lach Dennis only being a stone’s throw away from more commercial spots like Knutsford or Holmes Chapel, residents would still benefit from having a great selection of shops, bars and restaurants on their doorstep.

Then there’s somewhere like Poynton – home to our latest new builds in Cheshire East. The town is nestled in the foothills of the idyllic Peak District and is perfect if you appreciate stunning countryside views.
