Vivly Living opens Customer Hub at award-winning Shepley site

Vivly Living, the leading Yorkshire-based residential developer and builder, is opening a bespoke Customer Hub at its award-winning Knowle Grange site in Shepley near Huddersfield.

The Customer Hub, which will provide all the information needed to buy a house at Knowle Grange in Abbey Road, opened on September 8.
Work has now started on the second phase of this development, which comprises 52 two-to-five bed homes. The award-winning first phase of 31 homes has completely sold out.

Paul Brown, the managing director explained that the opening of the new Customer Hub marked an important stage in this “very special” development, where building work has now started in earnest.

He commented: “We are tremendously proud of our Knowle Grange development in Shepley, which has already won a number of prestigious awards. Phase 1 has proved incredibly popular, with all 31 houses sold within 18 months.”

“We're thrilled that we are now on site at Shepley Phase 2, where we are building a fantastic range of new and much-needed homes to the community. These homes offer additional garden space, providing comfortable and sustainable living for our buyers. All are A-rated for energy efficiency.
“Our Customer Hub, which will be open from Wednesday to Monday from 10.00am to 4.00pm and is situated on Abbey Road at the front of the development will provide all the information on this, together with fantastic deals on specific houses, which will be announced shortly. Please call 01484 599454 to avoid disappointment.”

Vivly has already launched The First Homes scheme, which enables buyers to purchase four selected homes at a discount of 30 per cent of their market value at Knowle Grange.

Paul commented: “What a response. The First Homes scheme is an imaginative and effective way of getting first-time buyers, especially young couples, on to the housing ladder, and we are delighted that three buyers have already taken advantage of this discount.

“The discount applies to the home forever, meaning that generations of new buyers will continue to benefit every time the property is sold. You will have full ownership of your home, which will feature the same high-quality specification for which Vivly are renowned”.

Coun Taylor Coun John Taylor, the Shepley ward member and deputy leader of the Conservatives on Kirklees Council, explained: “I’m really pleased to see this second phase of the development getting underway. The first phase proved popular and in both phases I am pleased to see properties for first-time buyers. It is important that the younger generations get the same opportunities to get their foot on the housing ladder as I did.

“Shepley is a wonderful and active village and a great place to start and bring up your family. I am delighted this development includes two-bed houses under the First Homes scheme which will be ideal for young people wanting to buy their first home. Being able to buy a home in the village you grew up in is an aspiration for many young people locally.”

Phase 1 of Vivly’s sold-out Knowle Grange development was named the Best Small Housing Development in the UK in the prestigious WhatHome Awards.
Pretty villages around Huddersfield and Holmfirth, like Shepley, have recently been named as property hotspots by the Sunday Times and Zoopla, who both praise the combination of countryside, connectivity and communities full of independence and imagination, with trains to Leeds and Manchester offering a wonderful opportunity for people who work in the two cities, but want a cheaper or more rural alternative.
