Montague Place is an exciting new development located in the heart of Clitheroe, it will feature a total of 110 new homes, consisting of two bed bungalows, and three-and four-bedroom houses. Two show homes, the Maplewood and the Overdale, launched at the development recently – now interested house hunters can get a better look at what’s on offer.

Clare Noakes, Sales Director for Miller Homes in the North West says: “It was great to team up with the local schools and recruit the help of the pupils to push the word out of our exciting new houses. They did a marvellous job with their drawings, and we will have to bear in mind their designs for our future show homes!”
