Avant Homes acquires land for £21.5m, 80-home development

Yorkshire Avant Homes has purchased 14.47-acres of land to deliver a £21.5m development of 80 design-led homes in Green Hammerton, North Yorkshire.

Located just off the A59 directly between York and Harrogate, Avant Homes secured planning approval from Harrogate Borough Council in March 2021. The new development, named Ambretone Park, will include a mixture of three and four-bedroom homes across eight of Avant Homes’ signature house designs.

Of the 80 new-build homes, approximately 40 per cent will be designated to affordable housing across a selection of one, two and three-bedroom properties.

Groundworks at Green Hammerton are due to commence in July with the showhomes set to open at the end of 2021. The first residents are expected to move into their new homes in spring 2022 with the total development build taking approximately two and a half years.

Yorkshire managing director, Chris Coley, said: “We are very pleased to complete this land purchase and move plans forward for our Ambretone Park development.

“Green Hammerton is ideally situated for buyers that are keen to be close to York, Harrogate and Knaresborough while also benefitting from its rural setting. We are now looking forward to commencing initial groundworks this summer.”
