Avant Homes to deliver 225 new homes in Yorkshire across two new developments

Housebuilder Avant Homes has revealed plans for two new developments in Yorkshire with a combined value of £65m.

The new homes developer has purchased 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 have already begun.

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 Avant Homes’ Apperley Green development, which has transformed the former Stylo shoe factory site on Harrogate Road.

The £31m development, called West Wood Fields, 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 commence this month.

Mark Mitchell, Avant Homes’ Yorkshire managing director, 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.
