HOUSEBUILD­ER Bovis Homes has officially launched its first Yorkshire developmen­t of 75 new homes in the East Riding market town of Pocklingto­n.

Located close to the town centre, the wraps have also come off a brand-new show home and a unique “unwrapped” house in time for the festive season at Beckfields, which boasts a property portfolio of traditiona­lly inspired homes with a touch of the contempora­ry.

The jewel in the developmen­t’s crown is the four-bedroom Willow show home, a three-storey design that offers flexible living, style and space, says Bovis Homes.

“A desirable home in which to work, rest and play, features of the Willow include stylish, modern, open-plan kitchen/dining area, bi-fold doors to the rear garden and the opportunit­y to use any of the three bedrooms as a home office, hobby room or additional family space,” said the builder.

Bovis has also added a unique dimension to the developmen­t by unveiling an “unwrapped” home alongside the show home.

Rather like the trend for “naked” wedding cakes, which leave off the traditiona­l frostings and decoration­s to reveal the insides, this home cleverly leaves a number of materials used and elements in the constructi­on process exposed, allowing customers to see just what has gone into building their new home at Beckfields.

This is the first home of its kind at any Bovis or Linden Homes developmen­t in the region and is designed to allow the company to be transparen­t in its build quality, including internal brick work, insulation, exposed roof beams and kitchen appliance shells.

The Beckfields collection of two, three, and four-bedroom homes – which also includes two-bedroom bungalows – is designed to meet the needs of everyone from first-time buyers, young profession­als, growing families and those looking to downsize.

Bovis Homes – which together with Linden Homes forms the Vistry Group - will also be contributi­ng just over £37,000 to recreation and educationa­l facilities for the community, as part of its Section 106 planning agreement with the local authority.
