Work starts on next stage of family homes scheme

Groundworks have begun on the second phase of properties at a development of luxury family homes by North Yorkshire-based firm Newby in the village of Birstwith.

West House Gardens is a development of 33 stone built homes, set over a five-acre site in Birstwith in the Nidderdale Valley, six miles from Harrogate.

Phase one of the scheme comprises nine family homes, with phase two delivering a further 18. A selection of three, four and five-bedroom homes are still available, some with immediate occupancy, and prices range from £350,000 to £1.25m.

Anthony Mackle, sales and marketing director at Newby, said: “West House Gardens is set in a truly idyllic location, surrounded by panoramic views of vibrant green fields and the River Nidd. On the doorstep is an award winning pub and hotel, a well-stocked village shop and post office, primary school, church and tennis and cricket clubs.

“We know our residents will be very happy there and we look forward to welcoming the next wave of homeowners as building work continues on phase two.”

Founded in 2008 by Nick Moody and Simon Hepden, who have almost 50 years of industry experience between them, Newby now employs more than 25 people.

Other current developments being delivered by the company include Ryedale House in York, Glasshouses Mill in the Yorkshire Dales and Springfield Court in Harrogate.
