An exciting development of four new homes within sight of York Minster gives new home-buyers the rare opportunity to design the interior layout and fittings exactly how they want them.

The three and four bedroom townhouses are already under construction using high quality traditional materials, including locally-sourced hand-made bricks and natural sandstone cills and lintels under a slate roof.

But inside is where home buyers can set their imaginations free. The floor layout, style of the kitchen and bathroom, together with other features such as floor finishes, can now all be chosen by the purchaser. This gives buyers the personalisation offered by self-build without the hassle and risks. High specification is guaranteed with kitchens to be created using the finest quality materials and superior Villeroy & Boch bathrooms.

All four properties will be available to move into during September, which fits perfectly with the autumn school term and gives buyers plenty of time to settle in before the Christmas period.

The homes are traditionally designed to offer generously sized accommodation over three storeys. The two three bedroom homes offer 1,150 sq ft of space plus a rear garden, with the two four-bedroom properties sized at 1,550 and 1,750 sq ft each also featuring gardens and garages. Built to Code 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes, the new properties have a superior build quality that delivers excellent thermal and acoustic performance.

Galmanhoe Lane is located off Marygate, close to the Museum Gardens, and just a short stroll from the city centre and its heady mix of bars, restaurants and shops.

The new homes are being marketed by local property agent Tulloch property consultants who acquired the site on behalf of retained clients. Ian Tulloch says: “Despite York being one of the most sought-after locations in the north of England, the opportunities to buy a newly built home in the city centre are becoming more and more scarce. That’s why these new homes at Galmanhoe Lane offer such a fantastic opportunity as they give home buyers the chance to own something very special.

“The interiors are essentially a blank canvas. We do have a layout and specification plan for each of the homes for anyone who doesn’t want to start completely from scratch. But my experience is that having the option to design their home their way at an early stage is something home buyers really appreciate.”

The price guide for the homes has still to be finalised so we can’t yet tell you how much they will cost but you can get more information about Galmanhoe Lane from Ian Tulloch on 01904 654466.
