Christmas is just around the corner
We know we all hate it when department stores and shops start selling Christmas too early, but in our case it’s important we do!
We have just three homes that we could have ready in time to put the tree up at Elsey Croft, Skipton in North Yorkshire. The Sharp (Plot 81), The Thompson (Plot 67) and The Hughes (Plot 63). All four bedroom homes with garages that vary in size and shape!
In order to get you into your new home in time for Christmas we’d need you to come in and reserve your new home by the 31st October.
What’s to love?
The Sharp is situated on a private corner of the development and will feature a full width patio (usually something we offer as an extra).
The Hughes has high ceilings, coving to the living area, a beautifully modern kitchen design and a fully landscaped rear garden.
The Thompson also has high ceilings, coving to the living area and a fully landscaped garden but it also has a beautiful oak staircase.
All of these homes have underfloor heating and fireplaces to keep you toasty on those cold winter nights.
To find out more about these homes please click on the house names above. Prices start from £389,950.

The Edwin – Elsey Croft, Skipton
A three bedroom home with a single garage
The Craven has been very popular at Elsey Croft due to it being a little bit more compact than some of our larger four bedroom designs but what if you don’t need that extra room?
If that’s you, listen up!
…Because we’ll soon be introducing The Edwin, which is a three bedroom home split across three floors.
What’s to love?
It’s 100 sq ft bigger than the Craven – even though it’s a three bedroom home…giving you two large double bedrooms and a single bedroom….Fear not, that second floor bedroom has a dormer window and lots of further windows for extra light.
What’s more…
Reserve the Edwin and you’ll get an integrated wardrobe and downlights to your master bedroom and concealed system bathrooms as standard in your specification.
Prices start from £289,950.
Further information will be released later this week.

The benefits of concealed system bathrooms
- Aesthetics
- Easy cleaning
- Reduced noise
- Storage
We chose to fit concealed system bathrooms in all our four bedroom homes at Elsey Croft due to the clean lines it creates. The style of our homes is carefully monitored by our Marketing Director, Caroline Verity. Caroline works with an Interior Designer to determine the look and feel of our homes and from that determines the specification. At Elsey Croft we went for a traditional look on the outside using natural stone and dry stone walls but we wanted to create the modern home inside that our customers expect.
A concealed system bathroom has more practical benefits too
The layout also makes your bathroom a lot easier to clean as there are no hard to reach places. The noise when flushing your toilet is also significantly reduced when it is encased in the wall. What’s more, we love that the half tiling we provide means that you are able to store your everyday bathroom items on the shelves created but also wipe them clean.
To finish
Our bathrooms are then complemented with a stylish stainless steel radiator.
The rest of the finish is up to you….The tiling can be chosen from our extensive range the in Sales Office and as an extra you can choose a range of flooring from our recommended supplier, Hansons in Cross Hills or you can fit this yourself after completion. The choice is yours.

Triple Glazing
Find upgraded triple glazed velux windows in the Eames, Thompson and the Hughes
Why triple glazing? Because it helps in two ways:
Noise levels. Double glazed velux windows can be noisy. Triple glazing makes them more comparable to the noise you’d hear when the rain is hitting a regular window. We’d describe it as a soothing noise rather than something that will make you reach for ear plugs.
Comfort. A lot of people say velux windows make your house more energy efficent, and they do, but not enough for it to be anything to shout about. What they do however is make your home more comfortable by making the insulation level of your windows more in line with the insulation your walls provide, reducing any cold spots.
You’ll benefit from these triple glazed velux’s the most therefore in the Hughes and the Thompson – both homes have triple glazed velux’s in the master bedroom suite.
We chose triple glazing to key areas predominantly because no one wants their sleep to be disturbed by heavy rainfall, but we think the added comfort created in these spaces will also be beneficial to our new home owners.
Availability
The Eames, Thompson and Hughes are available to reserve off plan now. Prices start from £439,950.
Talk to us on 01756 630517 or email us at [email protected]. Our Sales Advisors are on hand to answer your queries daily, 10am – 5pm.
*Image shows our Twistleton Show Home, which also had triple glazing, but unfortunately these homes are now sold out.

Eames, Thompson and Hughes at Elsey Croft
Three new homes in Skipton
They will form part of our next release at our development in Skipton in North Yorkshire.
Located on the North Eastern side of the development, with views out to the surrounding fields and open space, these homes will be our largest to date. All will have four bedrooms, a single garage (detached or attached dependent on type) and feature garden rooms to make the most of their south facing positions.
We wanted to make the specification on these homes that little bit more special….
We’ve added more downlights to key areas. For example the Eames will feature these in the dining area as well as the kitchen so you can place your dining table anywhere you’d like without worrying whether your light will be central.
All the garden rooms will feature a large velux window that will, at no cost to you, be remote controlled – who likes those pesky poles anyway?! 🙂
In the kitchen you’ll have a choice of Granite or Quartz in price bands 1 – 3.
Finally, all will feature underfloor heating to the ground floor and a Newbourne Stove with a wood beam and a stone hearth.
Excited? We are!
When will you receive information?
We’ll be releasing the plans, CGIs and a specification next week.
If you have already expressed an interest in these homes, which will start from £399,950, you’ll receive information via email or post.

Residents move into their new home at Elsey Croft
In the charming market town of Skipton in North Yorkshire
We’re delighted to announce that our first residents have moved into their home at Elsey Croft, Skipton.
They purchased a three bedroom, Apsley home, and are absolutely delighted.
We’ll be catching up with the owners of the Apsley to get their feedback on their new home after they have settled in. Hopefully they’ll allow us to share that with you!
Interest at Elsey Croft has been high and as such we have sold all our homes in our initial release. Our next phase of homes, which will be situated on the North Eastern corner of the development, will all be four bedroom homes with garages and views out onto the Otley Road.

Architecture at Elsey Croft
Natural light – a integral part of our design
Natural light is critical for our health and well-being. It ensures we stay energised as we go about our daily and usually rather exhaustive days! In an effort to assist in providing as much natural light as possible into our homes, and to reduce the need for electrical lighting thus encouraging energy saving during daylight hours, our architects have carefully designed our homes to take full advantage of both Elsey Croft’s prominent position and its orientation within a beautifully elevated setting.
In addition, the dwellings have been designed to ensure that blank gables are avoided, instead designing where possible, further main or secondary windows to gain additional natural light. Further consideration has been given to providing, where suitable, roof lights to take advantage of skylight into rooms. Some of our homes, in our future phases, also have south facing garden rooms with the provision of large roof lights. This further enables our residents to gain natural heat and light as well as enabling our home owners to open up their home to their private garden to bring the outside, inside.
Please take a look around our Show Home and compare to other homes on the market to see the difference our design has made. We’d love to hear your feedback!

Exceptional homes in Skipton
We have been on site this morning making sure our Show Home, which will launch in just over two months, adheres to our high standards.
What have we changed?
We’ve added a velux to the upstairs en-suite to get natural light into the bathroom, we’re installing white LED downlights to the dining and living area which you will be able to upgrade to if you wish (just to show you what you can achieve with a full set!), we’ve decided to make the living room and master suite Sky ready (we just ask that you use our recommended Sky installer who will be happy to use our wiring) and we’re installing an Ideal Rain shower to the downstairs en-suite so you can see what you can upgrade to if you wish!
Quality homes
Improvements in the quality of our products and our design is at the heart of everything we do and we always like to go one step further than our competitors, building homes that stand the test of time.
We are uniquely placed to be able to amend our designs on site almost like we are building a bespoke home for ourself (we can even amend the layout sometimes upon customer request – dependent on build stage).
Some of our quality improvements you can see, some of it you can’t, but we hope you’ll be impressed.
Our Show Home
Watch this space… we’ll be announcing a Show Home open weekend in the next few weeks.
