The former Convent of Notre Dame, situated within the lovely West Lancashire village of Parbold, is being transformed into a collection of beautifully converted heritage homes and originally designed newly built properties.

Situated just a 10 minute walk from Parbold village centre, this unique new development will offer great local amenities and convenient transport links whilst also offering a safe heaven from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

The grounds of this 6.5-acre site are just as significant as the properties, providing a place for residents to relax and recharge.

The mature trees will be retained, hedged walkways and formal gardens restored to their former flory along with paths reopened and new areas of reflection and contemplation created.

Life at The Retreat, Parbold is truly special. Why not come down and talk to our friendly Sales Negotiator Sue to discover life at this exlcusive new address.
