LOCATION

Granary Fields is located within just a mile from the centre of Poulton, making it the perfect location for anyone looking to live in the heart of FY6.

TITHEBARN STREET

For buyers who are new to the area, the centre of Poulton offers a pretty village location with a modern touch, great for socialising, retail and general lifestyle.

"THE HEART OF FY6"

There is a good choice of local restaurants and bars that offer a fantastic variety of cultured cuisine. Poulton boats a variety of charming retail, leisure and small businesses.

The market town of Poulton-le-Fylde has long been considered one of the most desirable places to live and work in the North West of England. The town is host to traditional market stalls every Monday. It is also an area of historic interest, being noted for the finding of a 12,000 year old complete elk skeleton.

'Location, location, location' is a common mantra and Granary Fields on Tithebarn Street is certainly the place to be.

"Home is where the heart is"

THE BUYING PROCESS Before making the exciting decision to buy your first property or move house there are some key factors to consider.

Establish how much deposit you will need and remember to budget for solicitors' fees, removal costs, stamp duty (for properties over £250,000) and any other additional costs.

Usually, you will need a 5% deposit requiring a 95% mortgage. For example a house purchase of £200,000 will usually mean a £10,000 deposit. The larger the deposit amount the better the mortgage deal you may be offered.

Before seeking a mortgage deal it is wise to keep an eye on your credit score as most lenders will take this into consideration, along with the size of your deposit and monthly outgoings.

Calculate how much you can afford to spend. The first step once you have your deposit is to seek an independent financial advisor who will help you select the best mortgage suitability for your individual circumstances.

The size of your mortgage is dependant on your income and the general calculation is four and a half times your annual salary. If you are buying with someone else, their income is also taken into consideration. Your financial advisor can then arrange a mortgage in principle, which may secure the mortgage lenders offer and put you in a stronger position to buy.

Upon sale agreement it is then time to inform your financial advisor to proceed with the mortgage application and inform your solicitor.

Once all parties have received their requirements your solicitor will then arrange exchange and completion.

THE MOVING PROCESS Moving day can be both exciting and stressful, but with some careful planning and organisation, you can make the process smoother. Here are some pieces of advice for someone on moving day Plan ahead by packing items that won't be used before the move. If you have pets or small children perhaps arrange for them to be cared for by family or friends on the moving day itself.

You can make this process a little easier by colour coding boxes being moved to go in certain rooms in your new home.

If any family or friends offer to help, say yes!

As the old saying goes many hands make light work. Make the beds up first of all, if nothing else gets done at least you have a clean comfortable bed to get in at the end of the day for a good night's sleep.

If you're using a moving company, confirm the details a day or two before. If friends or family are helping, make sure they know the schedule and what tasks they're responsible for.

Finally, remember that however stressful, you are about to embark on an exciting new chapter. Whether you are a first time buyer or familiar with the moving process, ensure to make time for yourself. Take a moment to reflect what this move means to you and enjoy.

Baxter Homes look forward to welcoming you to the family and being a part of your new journey and we are always here to help if needed.

MAKE IT YOURS

Personalising your home is the art of transforming a living space into a reflection of your unique style, tastes, and personality. It's the little details that make a house truly feel like a home. From carefully chosen colour palettes that generate a sense of comfort and warmth, to curated decor that tells a story about the inhabitants, personalisation is about infusing a space with character.

Whether it's a collection of travel mementos, adorning a bookshelf, a gallery wall displaying cherished memories, or bespoke furniture that perfectly fits the room, each element contributes to a sense of belonging and comfort.

The beauty of home personalisation lies in its ability to evolve over time, adapting to life's changing seasons and the evolving tastes of its occupants. It's an ongoing process that nurtures a sense of pride in your living environment, creating a sanctuary that is uniquely your own.

When putting your personal touch on your living space, your interior design choices lay the foundations to the feel a home gives.

Your interiors reflect the artful fusion of creativity, functionality, and aesthetic sensibilities within a living space. It goes beyond mere decoration, but encompassing a thoughtful orchestration of layout, colour schemes, furniture, lighting, and decor to create a harmonious environment.

When you chose a Baxter Home, there are a number of personalised additions you can make along the way. While Baxter Homes are not a bespoke developer, there are still a vast number of options for you to put your own personal stamp on your property.

Whether you’re looking to protect your home with a top of the range security system, or enhance your living space with a built in media wall, working with a developer to bring your dream home to life has never been easier, speak to our sales team for more information.

DANCING ON ICE STAR DAN WHISTON We sat down with Dan Whiston to talk all things business, lifestyle and leisure in Poulton-le-Fylde!

“I’m an absolute home bird” Your career has taken you all across the country, but you have always stayed true to your Fylde coasts roots. What is it that you love so much about your hometown?

My career has taken me all over the place - all over the country, but I love to get home. Im an absolute home bird for anyone that knows me and I love my home. All my friends are here and now I have a portfolio of businesses and rented properties here. I also love to come home and work in my businesses such as Thingamajigz, I see the people who have supported me over the years, they come in and say hello and that really means a lot. I really am just a home bird and I love to give something back to Blackpool and Poulton-le-Fylde.

When you get to spend some time at home, what sort of things do you like to do around Poulton? Are there any particular bars/restaurants/amenities you particularly like to visit?

I love Poulton, I love going out in Poulton, you can’t beat a good night out there. We normally head to Thai Mews, which is amazing or we like to go to Jade Garden which is an amazing Chinese. There’s some great bars in Poulton, I love places like Stocks and Shillings, The Cube, Marvins, you can always rely on a really good night out in Poulton. Its a really lovely place, you feel safe, its a great meeting point for people and you can stumble on down to the taxi rank and get yourself home in one piece.

Some of our readers may be totally new to the area, do you have any recommendations for them?

I think what’s really exciting for someone that’s newly moving to the area, its an up and coming town. You know, every few months something new is coming, you’ve got new bars, new restaurants, and lots of new attractions to Poulton-le-Fylde and its really exciting.

For me, I would highly recommend, if you’re looking for a quick bite to eat, you can’t beat brew and bones, I think its fantastic. Its got a really good vibe in there, its new, its fresh. Also Pulci Pizza, that’s a beautiful Italian, there’s just some really fun great options for some casual, good food and good booze and then you can head on over to all the great bars!

You took over Thingamajigz in 2022, how have you found your first year since its reopening?

I absolutely loved taking over Thingamajigz as we also own clip n climb in Blackpool.

Thingamajigz has just been so wonderful to take over, its part of everyones heritage really, its been here over 20 years so when we found out it was for sale we were actually really happy and excited to buy it.

I think the people that I speak to now, knows what Thingamajigz is, they know of it, or even better, they’ve been to it as kids. We have 20 year olds that will say they used to play there as kids and I think its part of Poulton’s history, its been amazing to buy it and to renovate it and also to work here and meet everybody, all the customers. Its been so, so lovely to see not only the kids having a good time but you can see parents really really value a bit of a break. They can have a have a coffee, chill out and know the kids are in safe hands.

You also recently started presenting with Hayley Tamaddon on Coastal Radio, how have you been enjoying that?

Me and Hayley have started our own radio show this year on Coastal Radio DAB, driving home with Dan and Hayley and that’s been amazing.

We’ve been recording that this year as its a new show and a new station for Blackpool. Its been brilliant, we’ve really really enjoyed it. Hayley’s gone to do Jamie the musical, so she’s on tour and Im flying off to do holiday on ice and then straight into dancing on ice, so hopefully we will get back to our radio show at some point soon.

We’ve had an absolute blast being back together and working together again.

You seem like a very busy man, what else have you got to look forward to at the moment?

So I also run a Zumba class which I take round the Fylde coast at all different venues. The venues change up quite a lot because my schedule is so busy that the classes kind of have to go around my skating schedule, do keep your eyes peeled on my Dan Whiston Fit Facebook page. If you want to come along to a class, we’re always open and all levels are welcome.

I have nearly been going 10 years with my Zumba classes and there’s an amazing fitness community there - we go out on nights out to Ma Kellys, we have a really good vibe. But most importantly, everyone looks after each other, they stay fit and healthy, and also they have got a great little network going.

I’m really busy at the moment as I am choreographing a new holiday on ice show, which is a European tour with Christopher dean. We fly off to Belgium next week for 6 weeks and then I will be going straight into Dancing On Ice where I am the creative director. I’ll be putting the whole show together and also stepping out and skating in some professional numbers, so keep your eyes peeled and I’ll be spinning onto a tv set near you.

FYLDE COAST K9 BEHAVIOUR & TRAINING Anyone can call themselves a dog trainer and maybe even help or sign you up for classes, but what isn't seen by many trainers is what the K9 is actually asking for.

It's ok for a dog trainer to help you with a leash complaint or a barking problem, but do they actually know why your K9 is behaving this way? Here at Fylde Coast K9 Behaviour and training, our BEHAVIOURIST specialises in what your K9 is actually asking their owners for, explains it all to them and guides both K9 owner and K9 to a compatible life together.
