chorltonWESTBROOK VILLAS
PAST MEETS PRESENTWELCOME TO WESTBROOK VILLAS; A SELECT DEVELOPMENT OF TWELVE LUXURIOUS HOMES THAT FUSE CLASSIC VICTORIAN ARCHITECTURE WITH THE FINEST CONTEMPORARY DESIGN AND MATERIALS.
Crafted by award-winning developers,
Hillcrest Homes, the new properties offer
all of the advantages afforded by modern
build technology and are carefully styled
to meet the varied lifestyle requirements
of today’s homebuyers.
Located in an established residential
district within the conservation area of
Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, Westbrook Villas
occupies a choice plot previously home
to two large and imposing semi-detached
properties. Whilst at one time grand
dwellings - symbolic of the area’s rising
popularity with the middle and upper
classes - over time they had been left to
decay and dereliction.
With a respectful nod to the heritage of
the area and its prevalent architecture,
Hillcrest has retained and restored the
bold period façade of the two dwellings;
creating an evocative centerpiece for this
sensitive re-development.
Four villas will be fashioned behind the
façade with a further eight detached
and semi-detached homes crafted in the
substantial grounds.
Whilst the architecture of the new homes
has been influenced by the height, steep
gable rooflines and prominent double
bay windows typical of the Victorian era,
Hillcrest’s approach for Westbrook Villas
is distinctly modern.

CHORLTON’S WHERE HOME IS, IT’S THE PLACE I WOULD WANT TO BE IF THE WORLD ENDED...BADLY DRAWN BOY
Between 1850 and 1900, Chorlton evolved from a rural village into a thriving suburb.
Victorian Manchester was overcrowded. The arrival of new railways, offices and commercial
premises resulted in the demolition of many residential dwellings. City centre accommodation
was in high demand and lower wage workers were forced to take up multiple-family
occupation in poor quality housing with dangerously low standards of sanitation.

Those on higher wages sought to escape the congestion, dirt and
disease by moving to the rural fringes of the city. The growth
of public transport opened up areas that previously had only
been accessible to the wealthy. With the arrival of a station at
neighbouring Stretford, Chorlton became a desirable place to live.
The demand for housing and the easy availability of land enabled
development by those with the means. In the hands of Victorian
property developers, Chorlton became Chorlton-cum-Hardy, a
name invented to distinguish this area of bucolic bliss from the
more urban Chorlton-upon-Medlock.
The suburbanisation of Chorlton came in stages and was
driven by investment and profit. Wealthy industrialists, investors
and landowners dictated Chorlton’s residential framework;
determining where houses would be built, of what size and quality
and, therefore, the social standing of the occupants.

The more upmarket developments arrived in Chorlton via desirable
Edge Lane, a spot favoured by the merchant classes due to its elevated
position and close proximity to the train station.
Westbrook Villas stands proudly on the site of two semi-detached
properties, built around the 1860’s in the Italian Gothic style with
detailed polychrome brickwork. Converted into a masonic lodge
around the 1930’s and later subjected to poor quality extensions before
being vacated, the properties had deteriorated and become a blot on an
attractive residential landscape within the conservation area.
With a desire to pay homage to this great age of progress and
development, Hillcrest has retained and restored the building’s period
façade and utilised it in the construction of four luxurious villas
preserving the all important Edge Lane ‘street scene’ and helping the
new arrivals to blend harmoniously into their immediate environment.

COSMOPOLITAN COMMUNITY
Chorlton is a thriving suburb of Manchester
and lies within easy commuting distance, being
just four miles south west of the city centre.
Rather than compete with the extensive
amenities offered by Britain’s second city,
Chorlton complements it. Rich in character
and community spirit, the area is home to
a diverse and cosmopolitan community
who loyally support a wealth of innovative
independent retailers, craftspeople, cafes, bars,
restaurants and businesses.
A busy cultural calendar keeps Chorlton
residents connected and includes regular
farmers’ markets, literature festivals, theatre
productions, art gallery events, sports clubs
and the annual Chorlton Arts Festival, to
name but a few.
The area benefits from several luscious
green open spaces by way of public parks,
tennis courts, community playgrounds and
playing fields, all popular with joggers, dog
walkers, sunshine picnickers and Sunday
league football teams.
Families with children have a wide choice of
private and state education establishments
on their doorstep, from nurseries through
to primary and secondary schools.

SPECIFICATION
KITCHEN
In modern living, the kitchen has become the heart of the
home providing a multi-purpose space, used for socialising
and relaxing as well as preparing meals. As a consequence,
the aesthetic has become just as integral to the design of the
space as the practicality.
Hillcrest has consulted the expertise of a respected local
kitchen stylist and leading brands SieMatic and Corian to
create the kitchens at Westbrook Villas.
Utilising furniture from it’s S3 range, SieMatic has created
a sophisticated and streamlined scheme that incorporates
crisp clean lines and soft closing drawers and doors and is
finished with invisible integrated grip handles in a wide range
of colours.
An expanse of spacious wall and base units house an
integrated Siemens oven, induction hob and microwave plus
a Zanussi dishwasher and fridge/freezer and are finished with
beautiful Corian counter tops.
Hillcrest Homes has chosen a high standard of finish for each of the new properties
at Westbrook Villas to provide a luxurious and inviting home environment.
HEATING
Properties will benefit from an energy efficient gas fired condensing boiler with an
insulated pressurized water cylinder enabling multiple demands on the hot water
supply to be fulfilled with no reduction in water pressure.
Bathrooms and en-suites will all feature chrome heated towel rails.
LIGHTING
Hillcrest has brought in the expertise of a lighting expert to design the lighting
scheme for Westbrook Villas.
Each property will be fitted with energy efficient down lighters, the location of
which has been determined by the different function of each room and the tasks
residents will undertake within it.
superior specif ication
INTERNAL DECORATIVE F INISHES
The walls, ceilings and timber edging within the
homes at Westbrook Villas will be finished in
contemporary neutral shades.
WINDOWS & DOORS
Each of the properties will benefit from high
specification glazing set within traditional
style timber frames. Within plots 5-12 will be
contemporary glazed apexes allowing ample
natural light to illuminate the interior. Plots 2 and

third floor guest bedroom, which is accessed
through French doors.

contemporary front door with a vision panel
providing added security and natural light. Internal
doors will be finished with complementary
contemporary style brushed steel handles.
GARAGES
Each property at Westbrook Villas has access
to their own garage. Garages feature up and
over doors in a complementary style to the
architecture of the buildings.
EXTERNAL F INISH
Westbrook Villas will be constructed using build
materials commended for their aesthetic as well
as their insulation benefits in line with Level 3 of
the Code for Sustainable Homes.
Though contemporary, the properties will feature
‘stand out’ traditional styling such as plinths, lintels,
cills and cappings that add character and form an
important union between the new arrivals and
the local Victorian architecture.
LANDSC APING
Award winning landscape architects Barnes
Walker, have been employed to expertly
style the gardens for each property and the
communal areas.
The entrance to the development will be
block paved in charcoal with complementary
block paving in bracken defining walkways and
driveways to each property.
Rear gardens will be laid to lawn and include
paved areas for al fresco entertaining.
