Easingwold site set to have 154 new homes

Yorkshire housebuilder Avant Homes is moving forward with plans to deliver a £38.3m development following the acquisition of a 15-acre parcel of land in Easingwold.

The 154 home development received planning approval from Hambleton District Council in February 2022 and will be located on Husthwaite Road close to the A19, between York and Thirsk.

The new homes will include two, three, four and five-bedroom homes and initial groundworks are due to commence in the coming weeks with the first homes set to go on sale this month.

The showhome opening will follow in early autumn with the first residents expected to move into their new home at the end of this year, 2022.

Of the 154 homes set to be built in Easingwold, 30 per cent have been designated to affordable housing. Avant Homes will also commit to a community contribution of £325,000 for local education provision for early years, primary and special educational needs schools.

It will also provide a sports pitch and car parking facilities for the adjacent Easingwold Community Primary School.

We have had a very strong start to the year and we look forward to initial groundworks commencing in Easingwold in the coming weeks.”
