Wigan brother and sister Josh and Kerry Serrio have always been close - and now it’s in a literal sense too after they bought new homes next door to each other.

The siblings, along with Josh’s partner Emily Picton, snaffled up neighbouring addresses on The Avenue in Ashton-in-Makerfield, even reserving on the same day.

Kerry, who works as a sales director for Bellway which has built the estate, said she wanted to sell up at her home a mile away and move to The Avenue to be close to family and the local amenities on the development’s doorstep, as well as Bryn railway station. With two dogs, Teddy and Coco, Kerry enjoys walking around the Three Sisters Recreation Area, which is just a short distance from the development too.

And it is clear she is hoping that she might benefit occasionally from her brother’s expert cooking skills too!

She said: “I was ready for a change and decided to move house, with The Avenue ticking all the boxes. I am extremely close to my family so buying at the same development at the same time as Josh was incredibly exciting.

“We don’t move in until autumn, but we are very much looking forward to it.

“When I am away, Josh helps with my dogs, and I often look after his daughter Holli, so being neighbours is perfect. Plus, Josh is a great cook!”

Josh and Emily had been looking to buy for a couple of years but never found the right house in the right location, until they came across The Avenue.

The development is situated in the middle of both sets of parents, where they are currently living, and is perfectly placed close to nurseries and schools, the shops and transport links.

Josh said: “We were instantly attracted to The Avenue. The properties are beautiful and when we looked around the Rosewood showhome, we fell in love. We decided to buy that particular house type and have mirrored the interior design of the showhome, copying many of the colours, style of kitchen and even the same tiles!

“Kerry and I are siblings but we’re also best friends and I can’t wait to live next door to her. I love to cook so am looking forward to having some friends round, and it is also our first family home together so it will be exciting to start that new chapter of our lives too.”
