North Yorkshire site snapped up for housing

A 1.4-acre site in a North Yorkshire village has been snapped up for housing and development is now underway.

Law firm Shulmans,, acting on behalf of Cromsdale Property Group, advised on the completion of the purchase of the Pickhill site near Thirsk.

The site has planning permission for five detached houses.

Construction has now started, with the first homes ready for occupation in early 2019.

Mark Whitehead, managing director at Cromsdale Property Group, said: “We are delighted with the outcome of this transaction. This development will complement the local area and responds to the demand for more family housing. We are delivering a range of high quality, highly specified housing in a very picturesque rural setting.”

Dawn Carlisle, partner in the Shulmans commercial property unit, said: “We are delighted to have completed the purchase on behalf of Cromsdale Property Group. It is fantastic that the housing development will contribute to the growth of the Pickhill local community.”
