Bushell Place, Preston, PR1

Grade 2 listed Bushell Place is a remarkable place and it's history, people, community and location makes it a truly beautiful place to live. Perched on a site which commands views of the stunning Avenham Park which is a gem of Victorian forward planning and bordered by the River Ribble. The houses merge with the ancient lime trees which are the home of a multitude of bird wildlife giving the impression of living in a woodland and yet in the centre of the City. The community which is Bushell Place is an eclectic mix of artists, musicians, former educationalists, medical and other professionals and forms a close network of friends and neighbours. It is recorded that Bonnie Prince Charlie promenaded along Avenham Walk in 1765 some 70 years before the houses were built and how he must have enjoyed it!
Looking to the future, planning has been approved for the Iconic Harris Institute, just a stones throw away from no. 8, to be renovated and developed into a space for the arts and performance spaces for various uses.
A location of such beauty with abundant wildlife, stunning walks from the front door, architectural magnificence, fascinating history, an exciting future and yet just 8 minutes walk to the main line train station, 5 minutes walk to Marks and Spencer, private parking and close proximity to several motorways is truly an irresistible combination for a high quality of life.
