PERSIMMON Homes (Yorkshire), the York-based house builder which has become the biggest in Britain, has joined forces with Danish roof window manufacturer VELUX Company Limited to design a new three-storey luxury property in Rawcliffe.

The Rainton-VELUX was officially unveiled last weekend at The Landings development in Broadstone Way, watched by more than 250 guests and featuring a "room in the roof", which it is claimed, increases floor space by 30 per cent.

Three and four-bedroom detached homes available at The Landings range in price from £159,950 for a Jorvik to £239,950 for a Rainton-VELUX.
