  • Skipton Properties Spreads Christmas Cheer Through Christmas Charity Campaign

    Christmas tree

    Demonstrating our commitment to the community through a heart-warming Christmas charity campaign.

    This year, we have extended our support to several local organisations, significantly impacting the lives of those in need during the festive season.

    Friends of Foulridge Receives 30 Selection Boxes for Annual Christmas Event

    We kicked off our charitable endeavours by contributing 30 selection boxes to Friends of Foulridge for their annual Christmas event. The event, held in aid of Curry on the Street, aims to support this incredible organisation that provides warm meals, shelter, and essential mental health advice to those who need it most. Our contribution ensures that the Christmas spirit is felt by all, even in challenging times. We then asked Maureen (who helped organise the event) to open our Show Home at Croft Mill, Foulridge officially!

    Colne Open Door Centre Receives Two Large Boxes of Toys for Gift Hampers

    Colne Open Door Centre, an organisation dedicated to community welfare, received a generous donation in the form of two large boxes of toys. The toys will be a part of over 250 gift hampers arranged by the centre for young children in the community. These hampers, complete with wrapping paper and Sellotape, allow parents and guardians to actively participate in the joy of giving during the holiday season. Skipton Properties is proud to support Colne Open Door Centre in their mission to provide counselling, unemployment advice, and free food parcels to those in need.

    The Hive, Silsden Benefits from Skipton Properties’ Chocolate Donation

    Skipton Properties also lent a helping hand to The Hive by donating lots of chocolates for their annual Christmas raffle. All proceeds from the raffle will directly contribute to the community-run centre’s initiatives. The Hive is a hub of activity, offering a wide range of programs for all age groups, from pre-natal care to creative workshops. Skipton Properties’ contribution to the Christmas raffle ensures that The Hive can continue to provide valuable services to the community.

    This Christmas campaign is not just about donating to charity; it’s a way for communities to come together. The joy and gratitude expressed by Friends of Foulridge, Colne Open Door Centre, and The Hive have truly warmed our hearts. As we witness the impact of our contributions on the lives of those in need, we are reminded that the spirit of giving is what makes this season truly magical. Skipton Properties feels privileged to be a part of these heartening stories, and we look forward to continuing our commitment to spreading warmth, love, and support throughout our community.

    With New Homes. Reimagined, we are dedicated to crafting more than just exceptional homes; we are committed to nurturing thriving communities. Our highly skilled team is driven by outstanding quality and expert craftsmanship, infusing every home with our family’s warmth, care, and love. Today, we’re excited to introduce the New Homes Quality Code, replacing the Consumer Code, to further enhance our commitment to excellence. This code complements the 10-year New Homes Warranty provided by the LABC for your added protection.

    The Craven property, Bolton Gardens, Silsden
    The Craven, Bolton Gardens

    The New Homes Quality Code champions quality new homes & better consumer outcomes. They are a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of new homes and customer service. Their framework sets high standards for developers while also delivering fair outcomes for buyers. For more information on the board please click here.

    For all reservations made from the 7th of November, your reservation will be covered by the terms laid out in the New Homes Quality Code. For reservations made before this date, even though they aren’t formally covered by the new code, we are delighted to inform you that we have consistently followed many aspects of the code’s framework. Your reservation, however, will continue to be formally protected in the conventional manner under the Consumer Code.

    What does this transition mean for you, our valued homeowners?

    • Clarity at Reservation: The code emphasises the level of clarity you can expect at the time of reservation.
    • Completion: Your new home will now be ready two weeks in advance of legal completion. This provides us with extra time to address any minor issues before your move-in day. You will also have the opportunity to bring in your own snagging company if you wish.

    Our dedicated team, including Sales Advisors, Customer Care Team, Site Managers, and office staff, are fully trained and well-equipped to follow the code’s guidelines. Your primary point of contact, our Sales Advisors, are here to answer any questions you may have, so please do not hesitate to get in touch with your chosen development.

    To ensure our promises are clear to you we have developed a new Customer Charter:

    • Adherence to the New Homes Quality Code: First and foremost, we commit to strictly adhering to all the details outlined in the New Homes Quality Code.
    • Information and Home Tours: We will provide you with detailed information about homes in the construction phase or offer an extensive tour of the already completed homes you are interested in.
    • Selections Process: We will ensure you have comprehensive information about our selections process and the available options.
    • Warranty Provider Information: Information about your new home warranty provider will be provided at the reservation stage.
    • Health and Safety: You will be well-informed about health and safety measures on our working building sites, both during the buying process and after legal completion.
    • Qualified Inspector Option: We invite you to appoint a qualified inspector to assess your home when we have agreed upon an anticipated legal completion date if you so wish. You can engage services from organisations like RICS or RPSA. Your Sales Advisor will have a list of recommended companies. Please note this will be a cost borne by yourselves.
    • Home Demonstration: You will have the opportunity to attend a ‘home demonstration’ where your Sales Advisor will explain all the features of your home. Your Site Manager will also be present to address your questions.
    • Essential Guide and Supplementary Information: We will provide you with our Essential Guide and other supplementary information ahead of completion, accessible through our customer portal, HouseBuilder Pro. This information covers Customer Care and emergency out-of-hours services.
    • Warranties and Manuals: Following legal completion, we will provide you with all the warranties and manuals related to your new home via HouseBuilder Pro or in hard copy format where needed.
    • Incomplete Works and Indicative Timescales: We will furnish a statement on incomplete works, and indicative timescales for completion, and identify any areas that are beyond our control, such as section agreements related to the final road surface.
    • Check-In After Legal Completion: We will schedule a check-in to ensure you are satisfied in your new home within two weeks of legal completion. Your happiness is our priority.’

These two beautiful homes are part of a small, exclusive development of just 17 properties in the heart of Foulridge.

    The Craven is a standout among new home designs, consistently earning praise for its spacious interiors amongst our homeowners.

    Offering the same amount of space as The Craven, The Bailey is semi-detached and offers more value for money. It is a close cousin to the Craven, with a slightly different ground floor layout, influenced by its position in the development. Constructed with the same natural stone, the Bailey benefits from a south-facing orientation and offers a warm and inviting ambience.

    A view of the Mile Long Foulridge Tunnel and beyond

    If you’re in search of a delightful country village conveniently located near Colne, Lancashire, with a picturesque ambience perfect for settling down, Foulridge is the ideal choice, and our latest development, Croft Mill, is nestled in this charming village.

    Foulridge boasts a rich history, once serving as a thriving hub for hat-making, and you can still see evidence of the weavers’ cottages that surround the village. Running alongside Foulridge is accompanied by the expansive Lake Burwain, often referred to as the Foulridge Reservoir. This serene lake offers ample opportunities for boating and yachting year-round. Notably, the reservoir feeds into the historic Leeds to Liverpool Canal, home to the renowned Mile Tunnel and Canal Wharf. The Canal Wharf is a picturesque section of the waterway where you can embark on a boat cruise, savour a drink and a meal, or stroll along the towpath, soaking in the picturesque surroundings. The beautifully restored canal-side warehouse, now a charming café bar, and the Mile Tunnel, a tourist attraction, are of particular interest.

    Foulridge itself boasts a collection of traditional, locally crafted stone buildings, many of which have stood for centuries. The village offers a pub, The Hare and Hounds Inn and The Wharf, a cafe steeped in history. One of which is nestled right on the banks of Canal Wharf. Additionally, you can enjoy The New Inn, and for those craving diverse flavours, the Four Elephants, a delightful Indian restaurant, offers both dine-in and takeaway options. Foulridge House is another convenient takeout choice for those who prefer Chinese cuisine.

    Foulridge Wharf Canal

    The village’s main street features a bakery, butcher shop, and hair salon, with a special recommendation for Darpo Hair Studio. Furthermore, Foulridge is the location of Saint Michael and All Angels CofE VA, a village primary school that ensures accessible education for local families. For families seeking recreational activities, Thornton Hall Farm Park and Country Hall offer an excellent day out with a fantastic indoor play area, making it an all-weather attraction for children. Akincoats Park, featuring sports facilities, play areas, and a charming cafe, is another local amenity worth exploring. Supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s and Aldi are conveniently located within a short drive from the development, making grocery shopping hassle-free for residents. Sainsbury’s is a mere 4-minute drive away, with Aldi and additional shopping options situated in the surrounding industrial estates.

     

    Nestled within the picturesque locale of Foulridge, Lancashire, Croft Mill awaits. Seventeen remarkable two-storey homes crafted from natural stone grace this landscape, each boasting an alluring style and unique charm.

    Within this collection of 17 homes, thirteen are thoughtfully designed with three bedrooms, while four offer four bedrooms, all meticulously crafted from natural stone. These residences also incorporate solar panels, a testament to our energy and financial efficiency dedication.
