TWIN sisters have carried on their special connection after buying identical houses opposite each other.

Emma Mee and Katie Edwards, aged 24, from Lowton, have moved into homes at Rothwells Farm in Golborne.

The siblings viewed the three-bedroom properties in September with their partners, Richard and Jamie, before moving in this year.

Emma said: “We grew up in Lowton and both wanted to stay local, but it wasn’t our plan to live this close to each other.”

The properties featured in Taylor Wimpey’s “Homes of the Week” when the couples reserved them.

Katie added: “We’re now all settled and delighted to be just across the road from each other. It makes things a lot easier for our parents too.”
