New homes often divide opinion; ‘They’ll be smaller’ they say, or ‘they don’t have the character of a period property’. What if you could have it all? A property with character & space, plus all the usual benefits of buying new; a home without any hidden secrets, built to the highest energy efficiency standards, and one where all you need to do is move your stuff in. Sound too good to be true? Really, it’s not.

You could be excused for not knowing exactly where Pickhill is, or even not having heard of it before. This sleepy village epitomises Yorkshire living, but rather than being rural to the point of inconvenience, it offers the quintessential country life without the inconveniences of long commutes or any sense of isolation.

Pickhill is ideally located, approximately 4km as the crow flies West-North-West of Thirsk, and even closer to the A1 on its West. It is equidistant from Yorkshire’s two most outstanding National Parks; North Yorkshire Moors & Yorkshire Dales, and surrounded by several stunning towns; Thirsk, Ripon, Northallerton & Bedale. Convenience on this scale is usually compromised by background noise, perhaps of rumbling traffic, but the only sounds that will be accompanying you on a lazy afternoon in the garden will be nature’s own chorus.

Rokesby Place is a development of just 8 new build 3- & 4-bedroom homes in the centre of Pickhill. These homes are beautifully proportioned, and built to an exceptional specification; the kind not regularly seen in new homes. Included are items such as: integrated appliances in the kitchen, granite worktops, underfloor heating to the ground floor, and wood burners in the living rooms.

Part Exchange scheme is available on this development, so if you haven’t even started the process of putting your house on the market, Mandale Homes can remove that stress. These homes are almost ready to move into, meaning that with Part Exchange you could be in one of these stunning new homes in a matter of weeks.

25 miles north of Pickhill, Mandale Homes, are currently undertaking a new project at Free House Farm in Crathorne, another development located in the centre of a highly desirable village.

Those local to the area will know that Crathorne needs little introduction; a small village with a beautiful church, one of Yorkshire’s grandest hotels, Crathorne Hall, and of course, the delicious Crathorne Arms. It’s less than 10 minutes’ drive from Yarm High Street, has incredibly convenient access to the A19, and is a short drive to the stunning North Yorkshire Moors.

This development, once finished could be mistaken for barn conversions. Sympathetically designed to blend in with the character of this village, these 5 homes come in a mix of single and double story designs, each with large rear gardens and designed with impressive bi-fold doors to the rear to provide that ideal outdoor living space, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining.

As these homes are not yet built, there is still the opportunity to design your own internal finishes. From kitchen colours and finishes, to flooring and tiling choices, this is the perfect chance to put your own stamp on a stunning new home. These homes are also offered with a ‘premium specification package’, including upgrades such as underfloor heating the ground floor, wood burner and painted kitchen with granite worktops, integrated appliances and induction hob amongst other items. Interest has been so high on this development that there are now only two homes left.

Only available on new build properties, the Help to Buy scheme could help make your dream a reality. For more information on these developments, or how Mandale Homes can help get you moving, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Appointments are available to visit both developments.

It’s a common concept that if wanting to live in a desirable, sub-urban or rural village, the only options available are second hand properties. With Mandale Homes this is simply not true.
