The stunning new Bolton homes built on a former golf course, with amazing rooftop gardens

It wouldn’t look out of place in LA

Daisy Jackson - 1st October 2025

A new development of beautiful homes has taken shape over in Bolton – and these are some seriously good-looking properties.

Cynefin by Northstone is a collection of 177 energy-efficient homes that are so well-designed they wouldn’t look out of place in LA.

With Scandi-style interiors, roof gardens with beautiful views, and a green setting thoughtfully designed along the original fairways of the former Horwich Gold Club, they’ve got a lot going for them.

There’s a variety of home designs and sizes at Cynefin by Northstone, each with premium interiors, smart technology and a well-connected setting.

Residents here will be just a stone’s throw from Horwich Parkway Station, with direct services into Manchester, Bolton, Preston and beyond, as well as the Middlebrook Retail Park and the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

You’ll also find yourself close to the M61 motorway, loads of bus services, and just 40 minutes’ drive from Manchester Airport too.

But despite being so well-connected, the development has a rural air to it thanks to its proximity to Rivington Pike and Winter Hill (there are great cycle routes and footpaths to get you there).

The neighbourhood itself is a quiet, elevated area surrounded by established trees, but has urban convenience right on the doorstep.

Back to the houses themselves, and the four-bedroom, three-storey villa we’re showing you today.

As you enter this style of home, you’ll notice several things straight away – first up, they’re beautifully presented, with a simple design executed really, really well.

High ceilings, flexible spaces, and an open-plan Scandi design are all key features of a Cynefin by Northstone home.

There’s also masses of storage (which you don’t see every day in new builds).

In the kitchen, all appliances included as standard include a double oven with a built-in airfryer, an induction hob, a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.

There are sunny, south west-facing gardens, turfed and fenced when residents move in, and loads of parking space outside too.

Throughout the home you’ll find triple-glazed full-length windows, letting in lots of light and keeping the home as energy efficient as possible (helped along by extra insulation and solar panels).

And then, the piece de resistance – the rooftop terrace. Perfect for BBQs, romantic dinners, family breakfasts, or just relaxing with a good book after a long day, these little sun traps have gorgeous views and feel a million miles away from Greater Manchester.
