There is an old saying that the proof of the pudding is in the eating.. in property terms this might translate as the mark of good new homes is how popular they are with buyers...

If that’s the case then Persimmon’s development at Staynor Hall, Selby, must be a very tasty pudding indeed.

The project is now 70 per cent sold and occupied – with houses being snapped up quickly by buyers impressed by the quality and value for money on offer.

Now, following the popularity of its first phase, a second phase has been created at the development, off Bawtry Road – making an additional 60 properties available.

Designed to cope with the ever-changing demands of family life, properties at Staynor Hall range from three to four-bedroom homes with prices starting at just £199,99.

And, with support available from Persimmon Homes through its part- exchange scheme, those prices look very attainable.

One of the most popular homes at the development is the Roseberry style, a four-bedroomed detached house with an integral garage. The house has an inviting entrance with a spacious hallway with cloakroom and a good-sized lounge.

The kitchendiner is another spacious room, ideal for family meal times, and has the added bonus of a second cloakroom and a utility room.

The first floor of the home offers four large bedrooms – meaning no-one draws the short straw for the box room! There is also an impressive family-sized bathroom and the master bedroom also has en-suite facilities.

Plenty of space inside, then, and there’s room to romp outside, too. The kitchen diner’s French doors open out onto a delightful garden, perfect for entertaining during the warmer months and as a safe haven for children to play and explore.

Persimmon regards this development as something of a flagship project, says the company’s Yorkshire managing director Andrew Bowes: “The development has proved to be a huge success to date. There is no denying that last year the property market faced challenges, but it is encouraging to see developments, such as Staynor Hall, showing signs of an improved confidence in the market and contributing to the local economy with employment, investment and newhousing stock again.

“Staynor Hall has been designed for families and to achieve this we’ve simply listened to what our homeowners want from their dream home. We’ve found that growing families have three main considerations; they need plenty of space, they want close access to local schools, amenities and transport networks and they want to live in a welcoming community – all considerations we’ve taken time to ensure Staynor Hall offers.”

To make it even easier for house buyers to move up the property ladder, Persimmon Homes also offers its own part-exchange scheme, allowing homeowners to sell their home in as little as 48 hours – and without having to pay estate agent fees.
