# Handforth offers homebuyers a well-balanced lifestyle
7 Nov 2022 [Amy Lloyd](https://blog.anwylhomes.co.uk/blog/author/amy-lloyd)
 Looking for more home for your money and a breezy 20-minute commute into central Manchester? Welcome to Handforth! Looking for more home for your money and a breezy 20-minute commute into central Manchester? Welcome to Handforth! Offering access to green space and a village train station with 45 trains a day into the city, from as little as £6.70 a journey\*, Handforth provides residents with a leafy lifestyle in the sought-after SK9 postcode. Not only that, Anwyl Homes is building a delightful range of three and four-bedroom bespoke properties, with part of the development overlooking Styal Golf Course. [The Fairways](https://www.anwylhomes.co.uk/our-developments/the-fairways/) features a range of homes for growing families and those in search of a low maintenance property that could save them an average of £2,600\*\* a year on their energy bills compared to an older house. The Oakmere four-bedroom detached is one of the stand-out designs. With its high ceilings and impressive proportions, this spacious home provides a large open plan kitchen / diner / family room, spanning the width of the property, with French doors out to the rear garden so its owners can make the most of life outdoors. Light streams into the 17ft x 11ft living room through the beautiful large window and there’s even a downstairs study, where commuters have the perfect place for hybrid working. Upstairs all bedrooms boast generous proportions. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and there is a further luxurious bathroom for the whole family. Priced from £654,995, The Oakmere compares favourably to other detached homes in the SK9 post code area which, according to Rightmove, have an average price of more than £944,000. With its village feel, the small town of Handforth offers a lifestyle with easy access to green spaces, independent shops, restaurants and essential amenities.
> The Fairways purchaser Stefan Croft, who works as a web developer in Manchester city centre, said: “We fell in love with it straight away. We loved the property – the quirkiness was brilliant – and it couldn’t be in a more ideal spot for us. It will mean we can get the work/life balance just right, and it ticks all the boxes for us now, and in the future.”
Other four-bedroom homes at The Fairways are priced from £584,995. For more information about The Fairways call 01625 365 269 or see [www.anwyl.co.uk/thefairways](http://www.anwyl.co.uk/thefairways). \*Information from thetrainline.com \*\* Research from the HBF’s “Watt a save” report: [https://www.hbf.co.uk/news/hbf-report-watt-save/](https://www.hbf.co.uk/news/hbf-report-watt-save/)
