Housebuilder announces plans for developments worth £65m
YORKSHIRE housebuilder Avant Homes has revealed plans for two developments in the region with a combined value of £65m.
The new homes developer has bought a 16-acre site in Stamford Bridge near York where it will start work on the construction of 120 homes this month.
Work on a 9.8-acre development in Apperley Bridge, West Yorkshire has already begun less than two years after the launch of Avant Homes’ first site in the village.
The £34m development in Stamford Bridge is located off Roman Road and will comprise a collection of three, four and five-bedroom town houses, semi-detached and detached homes. The first homes are expected to be ready for occupation by the end of May 2017.
The purchase of a second site in Apperley Bridge comes just 18 months after the launch of the housebuilder’s Apperley Green development, which has transformed the former Stylo shoe factory site on Harrogate Road.
The £31m development, called West Wood Fields, and also on Harrogate Road, will provide 105 new homes with a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom semi-detached and detached properties available. The first homes are due to be ready by March 2017.
Site clearance and ground remodelling works are in progress at both sites with construction of the first plots expected to begin this month.
Avant Homes’ Yorkshire managing director, Mark Mitchell, said: “We are very pleased to reveal our plans for these new developments, both of which present buyers with the opportunity to purchase our high quality product in two very desirable areas. Works have begun in earnest to prepare for construction and we expect many of the homes on the first phases to sell off-plan.
“Our second development in Apperley Bridge follows the exceptional success of our Apperley Green site, which has been our most popular development in 2016, with sales rates far exceeding expectations. Stamford Bridge will be our first development in York since 2014.”
Based in Wakefield, Avant Homes Yorkshire is an operating company of the Avant Homes group, one of the leading private developers of residential property in the UK.
