  • Esse Fires: Cullingworth and Settle

    Beautiful stoves in our four bedroom homes

    Esse Vista 500 Fire

    We know our customers like to curl up by the fire on a cold night which is why all of our four bedroom homes in Cullingworth and Settle feature a traditional stove from British manufacturer, Esse.

    The 500 Vista is the quintessential ESSE with their signature door arch styling and technologically advanced performance. Wide, clean glass offers an unrivalled fire view while an efficient fire box with tertiary air ensures great fuel economy. A high quality steel body gives Vista endurance and attractive cast iron detail on the top, door and feet complete the stove. The multi-fuel Vista is a simple-to-use 5kW multifuel stove including twin position riddling grate with both wood and mineral fuel settings. It has an efficiency rating of 83.5%.

    The Esse 100 StoveIn our larger four bedroom home – The Rawley – at The Lees in Cullingworth we have installed a larger Esse 100 due to the size of the room. It features a similar styling to the Esse Vitsa 500 but is much larger and features a wider window.

    Our fires are complemented by a natural stone hearth and wood beam.

    The Esse Vista is installed in our Sharp and Oxley homes at Falcon Park in Settle and our Crawford home at The Lees in Cullingworth.

    The Esse 100 is installed in our Rawley at The Lees in Cullingworth.

  • Colour trends for 2015

    Elle Decoration predicts the paint colours for 2015

    We don’t recommend painting your new home when you first move in. Your new home needs to settle, which sometimes produces drying out cracks that can be painted over later. However, once you are ready to paint your new home we thought you’d all like to see the new colours for 2015 as recommended by Elle Decoration.

    We have chosen our favourites above!

  • Savings: Stamp Duty

    The Chancellor’s Autumn Statement saw a massive shake up in stamp duty that will benefit all of our potential home owners

    What did it used to be?

    Stamp Duty was paid in bands, which meant  that your Stamp Duty payment would jump quite dramatically.

    And now?

    Now it works much more like income tax. You now only pay Stamp Duty on the part of the property price that falls within each band. Therefore you’d pay 0% for the first £125,000, 2% on the portion up to £250,000, 5% up to £925,000, 10% up to £1.5m and 12% on anything above that.

    If you were to buy our Austwick at Falcon Park, Settle you would now pay only £1,659. The effective tax rate now being only 0.8%. Before you would have had to pay 1% of the purchase price.

    The Money Advice Service has a handy calculator for you to work out the Stamp Duty you will now have to pay. Please click here to access it.
