Area Guides

Details

We are a traditional suburban area with the expansion of the town throughout the 1960’s, 1970’s and 2000’s offering an abundance of three bedrooms semi’s with an average pricing of £196,182 and some more modern detached properties selling on average for £304,489 offering buyers a real choice of property types in the area.

The crossroads in the heart of the old village made headlines in 2004 being one of only a handful of locations in the country with the “Four Ps” which stood at the heart of almost every rural community – the post office, the pub, the police station and the parish church St Mary’s, whose cemetery contains the grave of a Sergeant Donaghue, who blew the bugle which launched the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War. Sadly, the old police station closed along with post office in recent years and became a gift shop then Ashtons proudly moved in restoring this iconic corner building bringing the building back into the community.

Another distinctive feature of the area its once housed one of the largest airbases in Europe RAF Burtonwood was built on the outskirts in 1939, and the land is now transformed into Chapelford Urban Village and the Omega Development Site we see today.

Today we have some fantastic local business such Traditions local hairdressers and Traditions Sandwich shop, local Co-op and Station road pharmacy are all adjacent to our office off Station road. We have many eateries and pubs nearby these are The Chapelford Farm, Trigger Pond, The Woodlands, The Chapel House and the Butchers Arms to name just a few in the area.

Great Sankey currently has an award-winning secondary school: Great Sankey High School and a recently relocated and expanded infants and junior school Barrow Hall Primary. Families seeking sporting activities can get involved in Great Sankey Neighbourhood Hub with swimming, spa facilities, football and much more.
