More than 250 homes destined for trio of sites

The Yorkshire division of housebuilder, Crest Nicholson, has signed contracts on three sites in East Ayton, North Yorkshire, Swanland in East Yorkshire and a third in Wilberfoss, nearby to York.

The developments will deliver over 250 new homes, a mix of private and affordable housing.

The Swanland site is just over 20 acres and on the southern edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, with Hull to the east, Beverley to the north and the Humber Bridge and A63 within three miles. It will comprise 150 two to five-bedroom homes and bungalows, including 25% affordable housing.

Located in the East Riding village of Wilberfoss, on the outskirts of York, the six acre site on Mill Lane will comprise approximately 60 two to five-bedroom homes, including 25% affordable housing.

Finally, the East Ayton site is just under five acres in size and on Racecourse Road, five miles south west of Scarborough.

It will accommodate a development of 56 new homes, 30% of which will be affordable housing.

Works are expected to start at Swanland in the coming months, and East Ayton and Wilberfoss in early 2024, with sales starting for all three developments from early next year.

Guy Evans, managing director at Crest Nicholson Yorkshire, said: “The sites in Swanland, Wilberfoss and East Ayton, are sought after destinations for homebuyers in the region, with strong commuting links and will allow us to provide increased choice of high quality, more energy efficient, new build homes with plenty of amenities nearby.

“We look forward to starting construction works later this year.”
