New homes are available at Deansgate Gardens, Placefirst’s new £35m development of high-quality, energy-efficient homes at the heart of Bolton town centre, where the first residents have already moved in.

Located just opposite the former Beales department store and within walking distance of Bolton Town Hall, Deansgate Gardens is a stunning new residential neighbourhood of 167 homes, designed to meet the demands of modern renters, each carefully designed with spacious layouts, energy-efficient features and contemporary finishes.

Deansgate Gardens is Placefirst’s most sustainable development to-date, built with a focus on reducing environmental impact while keeping costs low for residents. The development features energy-efficient technologies including rooftop solar panels, heat pumps and enhanced insulation, which help lower energy bills while contributing to a greener future. Residents can enjoy a comfortable, eco-friendly lifestyle while keeping their monthly costs down.

Designed with a strong sense of community in mind, Deansgate Gardens offers a range of high-quality amenities including green spaces, rooftop terraces and pedestrian-friendly streets. The development’s central square and communal courtyards provide spaces for residents to relax and socialise, creating a welcoming, connected neighbourhood.

The development is also well-served by excellent transport links, with the train station and bus interchange just a short walk away, making it easy for residents to commute to work, explore the surrounding areas, or enjoy a day out in nearby parks like Queen’s Park and along the River Croal.

Deansgate Gardens is a key part of Bolton Council’s £1bn regeneration masterplan, which is transforming the town centre into a vibrant place to live, with high quality buildings and well considered outdoor and communal spaces that benefit the whole community. The development complements the ongoing improvements to local infrastructure and public realm, adding to the town’s appeal and supporting its growing economy.

Placefirst’s dedicated Resident Services Manager and 24/7 maintenance team will ensure that residents enjoy hassle-free living with a fully maintained home, designed for long-term rental.
