What’s it like living in Penwortham?

If you’re thinking about moving, one of the first questions you’ll probably ask is simple, is Penwortham a nice place to live?

The short answer, yes! When it comes to Penwortham, it’s a place we know inside out as reputable estate agents in Preston. Not just for it’s location, but for how it feels to live here day to day.

 

Living in Penwortham

Penwortham has a strong sense of community that’s hard to miss. It’s not just a suburb of Preston, it’s somewhere people genuinely feel part of.

The high street, affectionately referred to as the ‘Penny Strip’, hosts a mixture of independent cafes, restaurants, and local businesses that give the area its character. It’s the kind of place where people support locals, and where there’s real pride in the area.

Combined with walks along the River Ribble and easy access into Preston, it offers balance that suits a wide range of buyers, such as first-time buyers, young professionals or downsizers looking for a quiet life.

 

Schools and Transport

For many buyers, schools are a big part of the decision, and Penwortham is known for having well regarded options at both primary and secondary level. Notably, Penwortham Girls’ High School and All Hallows Catholic High School have received outstanding ratings from Ofsted.

Travel is also straightforward. With quick access into Preston, nearby motorway links, and direct rail services to cities like Manchester, it works well for those balancing work and home life.

 

Property in Penwortham

There’s a real mix of homes here, from traditional properties full of character to more modern developments. Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, or looking to settle into something longer-term, there’s something that fits.

There’s a wide range of affordable homes for sale in Penwortham, with many properties available below the 12 month average price of £240,001. Rental values also remain accessible, with houses averaging around £893 per month and flats approximately £702, making the area appealing to both buyers and tenants.

Here at Roberts&Co, we’re proud to share some fantastic news. Our team has been recognised as award-winning estate agents in Preston, Penwortham and PR1, after receiving a prestigious accolade from the British Property Awards.

What Are the British Property Awards?

The British Property Awards are widely regarded as one of the most thorough and transparent awards in the UK property industry.

Unlike many industry awards that rely on nominations or applications, the British Property Awards carry out independent mystery shopping assessments of estate agents across the country.

Each agency is tested against 25 detailed criteria, designed to measure the real customer experience people receive when dealing with an estate agent.

These assessments include:

Speed and quality of response to enquiries
Professionalism and communication
Knowledge of the local property market
Customer care and support throughout the process

Because agents are assessed anonymously over a period of time, the awards provide a genuine reflection of how estate agents perform for their clients on a day-to-day basis.
