Keyland Developments announce sale of Harrogate land set for luxury homes scheme

Conroy Brook Developments has agreed to acquire Keyland Developments’ site on Otley Road in Harrogate for the development of nine luxury townhouses.

Keyland received planning consent from Harrogate Borough Council having identified the site as location for the residential development of family homes.

The two acre site, which is adjacent to Yorkshire Water’s clean water treatment works, is close to The Pine Woods within Harrogate’s Harlow Hill residential area.

This is the third residential opportunity that Keyland has undertaken in the Harrogate area following planning consents for 46 homes on Harlow Moor Road developed by Miller Homes, and 50 houses on Cornwall Road adjacent to The Duchy Estate created by Linden Homes.

The land sale continues the working relationship between Keyland and Holmfirth-based housebuilder Conroy Brook.

Conroy Brook was appointed as Keyland’s preferred partner under its Small Sites Initiative (SSI) in 2013/2014 which led to the delivery of Forge View, an exclusive development of luxury homes in the Carsick area of Sheffield and the 2016/2017 SummerFord residential development in Ingbirchworth.

Work is expected to start on the Otley Road site in late 2017 with the first homes, designed by Edward Architecture, ready for occupation in late 2018.

Peter Garrett, managing director of Keyland Developments Ltd, said: “We are delighted to have agreed a deal with Conroy Brook for this prestigious site and we are confident that their craftsman-built homes will be the right fit for the locality.

“The redundant land will now be regenerated and is expected to attract strong interest from future home buyers seeking executive homes within the Harrogate area.”

Richard Conroy, chief executive at Conroy Brook, added: “This area of Harrogate represents the ideal location for the delivery of our high end homes.

“The exclusive development will be delivered to an exceptionally high standard and will provide a welcome addition to the housing requirements within the Harrogate area.”

Shulmans represented Conroy Brook in legals and Wrigleys Solicitors acted for Keyland.
