Urban Splash is bringing the terraced house slap bang up to date at Chimney Pot Park in Langworthy. The best bits are being kept – the size, the shape, the roof, the front door, the streets, but with the help of architects shedkm, the insides will be something altogether new.

Urban Splash is literally turning the inside of the terraced house upside-down, living space and kitchens on the upper floors with the bedrooms downstairs, a new balcony and terrace will be added with secure parking to boot!

New homes in old houses. Just right.

And there's more to Chimney Pot Park too - there's shops around the corner, a Metrolink stop down the road, a park on your door step and Salford Quays, Manchester city centre and Salford city centre just minutes away.

View Houses

Welcome to first storey living.

We’re taking the downstairs up and moving the upstairs down. Literally turning these houses upside-down.

By moving the bedrooms downstairs we can fit two double bedrooms in every house. And it means we can create one new living space upstairs, making the most of the shape of the house, all the way up to the roof. Enough room for a mezzanine, a living space, a dining space and a kitchen. Four different types of terrace, but with the same theme. Loft living in a terrace house. City living on a proper street. Cosy and cool…

First Time Buyers’ Initiative explained

First Time Buyers’ Initiative is coming to Chimney Pot Park

Here is a great opportunity to get on the property ladder and also be part of a thriving new community at Chimney Pot Park.

The First Time Buyers’ Initiative has been set up by English Partnerships as part of the government’s Homebuy scheme and we are delighted that Chimney Pot Park is the first development outside of the South East to be chosen.

First Time Buyers’ Initiative is designed to enable first time buyers, who cannot otherwise afford to buy a new home, to purchase a new property with an affordable mortgage and with government assistance to top up what they can already borrow from a bank... simple really! The idea is that the buyer can then pay some, or all, of the money back to the government once, and if, they are in a position to do so.

Applications are now open! Follow our 4 easy steps to becoming a first time buyer:

1. Register your interest with us here.
2. Fill out an application form which can be found on the Homebuy agent, Plumlife’s website http://www.plumlife.co.uk along with the full terms and conditions for the FTBI if you have not already done so. Plumlife will assess your eligibility for FTBI.
3. Come along to our information week at Chimney Pot Park from the 4th-9th June and take a look around the show houses and meet our sales team. We will also have mortgage advisors and solicitors around should you need any help with the technical bits.
4. If your application has been approved by Plumlife then you will have an opportunity to reserve a house of your choice. Residents of Langworthy and Seedley have priority for this scheme, following which it will be on a first come, first served basis.

Should you require any further information then please call 07000 37 37 37.

Community

Chimney Pot Park will be a real community, because it already is a real community.

Chimney Pot Park has community at its heart and soul. You've got the park and the proposed new church and community centre on your door step. Then there's the local shops - a post office, a florist, a hairdressers, a tanning salon, a chemist, a chippy, a video shop, a sandwich bar, a Chinese takeaway, a pizza place, a bookies, a tattoo and body piercing studio, a convenience store, a newsagent - you'll be able to get your paper delivered to your house!

The whole area is in the midst of a major transformation. Chimney Pot Park is being made possible with the support of the government's national regeneration agency, English Partnerships and Salford City Council together with Urban Splash and its architects shedkm. Over the past seven years £55 million has been invested in the Langworthy area, not just in housing but across all aspects of what makes a community work and it's not stopping at Chimney Pot Park.

TRACEY TINGLE, CORNER SHOP, HIGHFIELD ROAD
“There’s not many corner shops left now. I’ve been here for 20 years and people always need bread and milk. I like to cater for everyone’s needs so I’m looking forward to new customers and introducing new lines if I need to.”

ANDREW BELT, THE TOP TROUGH SANDWICH BAR, LANGWORTHY ROAD
I’ve come here because of what is happening and the plans for the area.  I’ve seen the redevelopment of Salford Quays, and it’s like this is the second phase.  Because the Quays has been a roaring success this will give the people who work there the opportunity to live nearby.”

AMOUR HAIR, LANGWORTHY ROAD
“We chose to move to Langworthy Road eight months ago because it’s an up and coming area with great shop fronts. We have already increased our clientele and it’s a very popular spot in Salford.  It’s definitely changing around here.”

MARGARET WRIGLEY,
LANGWORTHY POST OFFICE, LANGWORTHY ROAD
“I’ve been here for 13 years and I’d love to see it like it was ten years ago again.  I’m very optimistic about the changes.  People will follow now they can see Urban Splash is doing something definite.  It will be a huge change for the better.”

PETER HEWITT, THE DAISY CHAIN, LANGWORTHY ROAD
“I genuinely applaud Urban Splash’s idea.  Rejuvenating the houses and keeping the facades is brilliant. There are years and years of life to have here in the city of Salford.”

NEIL AND ANITA BULLIVANT, NEIL’S FRIERY, LANGWORTHY ROAD
“What Urban Splash is doing here is positive. They are keeping the community. It will be nice to see new families move in and see a thriving community once again. There are lots of positive things going on - the new primary school, the new church, what Urban Splash is doing.”

JIM AND ALAN CARTEY, CARL ALLEN FURNISHINGS, LANGWORTHY ROAD
“The Urban Splash development should attract a lot of people very quickly. We’re looking forward to seeing the business grow. We’ve been here for 20 years now and Alan is at the stage where he wants to take the business further. He’s younger than I am and it’s an opportunity to move the business into a new phase.”

M BABAR, PREMIER CONVENIENCE STORE, LANGWORTHY ROAD
“I’m already seeing new faces in my shop and along the parade.  It’s good for me, my business, and everyone. It’s increasing my sales and I’m hopeful for the future.”

Keep what's good

There's so much we can use again. The streets outside are already perfect.  Enough width to park and drive, enough space to breathe and gone is the frustration of fighting for a parking space with your neighbours because we've made some spaces around the back - underneath the new terraces.

Keeping to the same shape as the original houses uses less energy than building a new house from scratch, as does using the same bricks on the front and reclaimed slate on the roofs.

Above all, we are keeping the identity of the area, just as Urban Splash has turned big and beautiful old Victorian buildings into beautiful places to live in the city centres of Manchester, Liverpool and Bradford, at Chimney Pot Park we're keeping what's good. And making it new at the same time!

“Reusing old buildings with new ideas. This is what Urban Splash does best. You feel part of something old, something new, something exciting, something very different. Yet what Urban Splash is doing here is common sense: building new homes inside old shells. These houses had a past, but also, now, a future. Modern spaces behind friendly faces.”

Langworthy in Bloom

The area has won Northwest in Bloom ‘urban regeneration’ awards in 2003, 2004 and 2005, also taking the community award in 2003 and 2004 and took the Britain in Bloom winner award for ‘community’ in 2004. The development of the area has also received Examplar status, this was awarded to three community projects - Seedley and Langworthy In Bloom, Seedley and Langworthy FM Community Radio and Reel Salford Community Films through RENEW (Regeneration Excellence in England's North West).

Salford City Council has plans to: create a new church and community centre; further improve housing in the immediate area; totally revamp the park; create more shops and businesses and there's even a proposal for a new school - all within a stones throw of Chimney Pot Park.
“When I see things like Langworthy In Bloom, that is the kind of community we want.” Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott on a visit to the area.

“I was overwhelmed with Seedley and Langworthy’s entry. In all my time judging this was the best display of a community coming together and community spirit that I have ever seen.” Terry Whitehall, In Bloom judge.

Location

Chimney Pot Park is right next door to Salford Quays, just ten minutes walk away. The Quays are home to The Lowry art gallery, which has two state of the art theatres, bars a restaurant, a café bar and a coffee shop. The Lyric Theatre in The Lowry hosts West End plays, family shows, live bands and stand up comedy too.

The Imperial War Museum North is also at Salford Quays, designed by the internationally renowned architect Daniel Libeskind.

Chimney Pot Park is also 10 minutes away from Manchester so all the benefits of the big city with the neighbourhood feel.

Chimney Pot Park is really easy to find…honest!

When traveling (west) out of Manchester City Centre take Liverpool Street until you see the raised park on your right hand side – you can’t miss the park it’s raised about 5 metres off the ground and has huge brick walls – it used to be a reservoir you know!

Take a right at the lights onto Langworthy Road and you’ll find Chimney Pot Park immediately after the park on the right hand side – it’s all minutes from Manchester City Centre.

Or take the Metrolink to Langworthy Metro Stop. Get off the Metro and opposite you (slightly to the right) you’ll see Langworthy Road. Walk over the bridge(which goes over the M62) and Chimney Pot Park is just on the right after the lights and park.
