  • Wonderful views and a secluded terrace in Haworth

    The Bridgehouse, a four bedroom home with orangery

    The Bridgehouse homes at The Bridge in Haworth, West Yorkshire are currently in build. We hope to have them near completion in June/July. Yesterday, we took a panoramic photograph from the top of Plot 43 to show you the sort of views you’d be able to enjoy from your private terrace.

    Each of our homes, Plot 43-46 overlook the landscaped parkland we are creating which we hope will effortlessly blend with the beautiful landscape beyond our development.

    Is the Bridgehouse home for you?

    Each of our Bridgehouse homes have a large entertaining space and have been designed in order to make the most of their south facing position. An orangery has been added to create a space for year round use. For those summer months we’ve added a private terrace, which is accessed from the top floor master en-suite and hallway. It will be a large terrace that can accommodate sun loungers and/or a table and chairs for alfresco dining.

    Several French doors maximise light into the island kitchen (featuring a quartz worktop of your choice) and dining area, which can accommodate dining for eight people. An informal lounge space can be created in the orangery or alternatively it would be the perfect space for a home office. Also on this floor is a laundry which will accommodate your washing machine, dryer and storage.

    The first floor features a large formal living room with a glass balcony, two double bedrooms, single bedroom and house bathroom. The second floor features a large master suite suitable for a large kingsize bed, dressing area, walk in wardrobe (with mirrored sliding wardrobes) and large en-suite featuring a free standing bath and shower.

    There are just four of this particular style of Bridgehouse home that benefit from their south facing position on the southern edge of the development. Prices start from £399,950 (mid terrace) and £404,950 (end terrace).

    Visit us Thursday – Monday 10am – 5pm to reserve off plan and see the position of these homes on the development.

  • Sarah takes the helm in newly appointed MD role

    We’re extremely delighted to announce that Sarah Barraclough has been promoted to the position of managing director, while Brian Verity takes on advisory duties as chairman.

    It’s our company’s first female MD in our 33-year history. Brian Verity has now stepped aside to allow his eldest daughter to advance our business.

    Sarah has worked for the company since 2003, where she joined as sales manager before being promoted to sales director in 2007. Most recently, she has been working as operations director within our senior management team, taking on a broader leadership role during a period of significant growth and development for Skipton Properties, which has earned her the top title of MD in 2019.

    Sarah said: “I am extremely proud to become the new managing director of my family’s business at this very exciting time in its history. As Skipton Properties gears up for continued growth and success, with more work than we’ve ever had in the pipeline, my focus will always be on building quality homes our customers are excited to move into, working with my fellow directors to move us forwards.

    “I’ve worked from the bottom up in this business, so I understand the whole build process and have intricate knowledge and insight into how all the departments within the company work. That’s fundamentally why I’m able to take our business forward into a new era, alongside an incredibly talented and hardworking team.

    “We will continue to invest wisely in places where we believe we can make a real difference, and I’m looking forward to expanding the areas in which we build developments.”

    In his new role as chairman, Brian will guide on the purchase of new land and oversee company financials. Youngest daughter Caroline also works within our senior management team, as sales, marketing and design director.

  • Looking after the Dales

    We’re delighted to announce our partnership with the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT), a small charity doing big things in Yorkshire.

    The partnership is part of Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust’s Together for Trees campaign, which will see it create 100 hectares of beautiful new woodland across the Yorkshire Dales over the next two years.

    For those of you that don’t know who they are, the YDMT are a charity that work with the local community and land owners to restore woodlands in and around the Yorkshire Dales. Since they started out in 1996 they have planted over 1.4 million trees. Their reach extends much more than this however and also includes bee conservation, the restoration of species-rich meadows, and further community involvement such as apprenticeships in environmental management.

    We are a company that prides itself on our ability to bring brownfield land back to life. When we do build on green field land, we mitigate the impact of new homes with a specialist planting scheme, as well as working with expert arboculturalists to ensure our work doesn’t impact the existing trees. After meeting with the YDMT we’ve agreed to go one step further and plant trees in and around Yorkshire to offset our ecological footprint.

    We’re committed to planting 250 trees with the YDMT over the next year and look forward to supporting the charity for years to come. Our first 25 were planted by our family team: our Managing Director, Sarah Barraclough and Sales, Marketing and Design Director, Caroline Verity in Howgill Side Woodland located near Bolton Abbey. Later this year, during the next tree planting season (this runs from November to March), we’ll be enlisting the help of some of our employees to plant further trees in and around the county.

    Sarah Barraclough, Managing Director of Skipton Properties, said: “We’re delighted to have planted the first 25 of 250 trees that we’ll be planting in 2019.

    “As well as being a positive environmental addition, many of the new woodlands that we’re helping to create will also have public access, so we’ll be creating beautiful new spaces that everyone, including our customers, can enjoy.

    “The initiative will also allow our staff to take part in a practical and rewarding conservation project that supports their local area across the year, which they’re all really excited about.”

    David Sharrod, CEO of Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, said: “We’re really grateful to Skipton Properties for their support in helping to restore native woodland to the Yorkshire Dales.

    “Trees are vital to so many aspects of life. As well as providing habitats for wildlife, reducing flooding and helping to combat climate change, we know that trees help to reduce stress and anxiety and promote a healthier lifestyle.

    “We are really appreciative of Skipton Properties and look forward to seeing the partnership develop in the future.”

    We’ll soon be placing information about our partnership in our Marketing Suites on our developments as well as including information in our new home owners packs for those of you who buy a new home with us.

  • A wonderful reception at Kearns Village, Rossendale

    On Saturday we opened our newest Show Home in Kearns Village in Rossendale.

    We had a wonderful reception from the community and existing residents on the development. We only had three homes available to reserve over the weekend in this final phase on the development, one of which has now been reserved.

    Kearns Village offers luxury, modern living in a breathtaking setting in the Rossendale Valley. Each home on the development provides a sanctuary for potential homeowners from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Built out of natural stone with variable natural slate roofs to create subtle contrast, our homes at Kearns Village appear as if they have always been there.

    We have just two home styles, The Tyrell, which is a large five bedroom family home and the Irwell, a large four bedroom family home. In each we have created refined, contemporary interiors that we hope perfectly complement the natural stone. Create a home that’s you with a variety of kitchen cabinetry and tiling.

    Visit us Thursday – Monday to see whether Kearns Village could be home for you. For more information on the development and to contact us please click here.

  • Rationel Windows at Kearns Village

    At Kearns Village we have mixed contemporary touches with traditional elevations to create unique homes. One of the products we have sourced to create the industrial look at Kearns Village is Rationel Windows.

    We have used Rationel Auraplus windows at the development which the company have historically installed on modern elevations. However, we wanted to push the boundaries and feel the design of the Auraplus provides a slim, elegant architectural expression that perfectly complements the traditional natural stone.

    Why Rationel Auraplus windows?

    Aside from the design elements, their windows have many benefits. They are well insulated and let more solar heat in during Winter than they let out, resulting in lower heating bills.

    Made from solid FSC certified timber with external aluminium cladding to ensure minimal maintenance they are built to last and come with a 5 year guarantee.

    Rationel Windows are just one of the quality products we have used to construct our new homes at Kearns Village. Find out more today.
