Rookery Place is just three minutes’ drive from the A570, around ten minutes from St Helens, and Liverpool and Manchester can be reached within around 50 minutes. Direct trains from Rainford Junction, half an hour’s walk from the development, run to Wigan Wallgate and Manchester Victoria, and Liverpool can be reached by changing at Headbolt Lane. Buses stopping beside the development run to Rainford Junction, Ormsirk, St Helens, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Skelmersdale. Rainford Linear Park, a seven-mile long green corridor, provides pleasant walking or cycling routes into the village centre and Rainford Junction station.
The village shops, half a mile from the development, include a large Co-op, a post office, bakery, off-licence, florist, pharmacies, cafés, food takeaways and other services. There is also a convenience store and post office, and a pub, beside the station at Rainford Junction. The nearest of Rainford’s bars is the family-run Star Inn, less than ten minutes’ walk away, which has a beer garden, a variety of real ales and a restaurant. A local landmark for over 190 years, The Bottle & Glass Inn exudes charm and welcomes guests with open arms. The area is popular for walks with a Linear park and Siding Lane Nature reserve. Renowned for its lavender fields, Inglenook Farm in Rainford offers shops, tearooms, and scenic dog walks.
Directions
From Liverpool: Leave Liverpool by the A580 for St Helens. Three miles after passing under the M57, at a roundabout take the first exit joining the B5203 for Rainford. Take the second exit at the junction with the A570 and, 600 yards on facing the Derby Arms, turn right into Church Lane. After 500 yards, turn left into Rookery Lane. Quarter of a mile on, the development is on the right.
From Manchester: Follow the M62 to junction 10, then join the M6 for Preston. At M6 junction 23 leave the motorway and take the first roundabout exit, joining the A580 westbound. After five and a half miles, at Windle Island traffic lights turn right into the A570 northbound. A mile and a quarter on, turn left into Pasture Lane. One hundred and seventy yards after passing the Star Inn turn right, and after a quarter of a mile the development is on the right.

Mortgages for this home
With a 10% deposit (£45,500) you would borrow £409,495, a 90% loan to value. 11 lenders publish 30 two-year fixed deals at that loan to value. Here are 5 of the 30, sorted by monthly payment.

Sorted by the figure you choose, and nothing else: not a recommendation. Each payment is a repayment mortgage over 30 years at the rate the lender publishes for this loan to value; after the deal, at the lender's variable rate today, which can change. The cost over the deal is its payments and the lender's stated fees, less any cashback, and the APRC is worked out the way the FCA sets for lenders. NewHomeSearch is not authorised by the FCA, does not give mortgage advice or arrange mortgages, and receives nothing from lenders. A mortgage is secured on your home. Lenders decide who they lend to and may lend less on some new homes, flats in particular: check every figure with the lender.
Similar homes nearby have sold for £384,000 to £468,000 in today’s prices. At £454,995 this home asks between 3% below and 19% above similar resales. Confidence in the estimate is low: the home has no stated floor area, so similar homes are matched on type and bedrooms alone.
