Planning permission has been granted for a prestigious new development of 19 executive homes in the charming village of Kirklevington, near Yarm.

Award-winning house builder Duchy Homes has gained approval from the council for its proposal to build a sophisticated collection of 5-bedroom detached homes and 2-bedroom affordable bungalows on the former agricultural land at Forest Lane in Kirklevington.

Fusing a considered blend of modern living styles and traditional architecture, the new development, named Highgrove, will provide generous family homes with contemporary interiors in attractive brick designs featuring render highlights and stone detailing.

The development’s location benefits from beautiful views of open countryside to the north and is designed around an attractively-sweeping single lane with existing hedgerows and mature trees, which are being retained for privacy and prestige.

The semi-rural village of Kirklevington enjoys good local amenities including a village hall, Judges Country House Hotel, St Martin’s Church and a highly-regarded primary school. Its close proximity to the larger town of Yarm provides easy access to supermarkets, health centres, shops, a theatre and a train station with direct services to Middlesbrough, York, Leeds and Manchester. There are also good transport links from Kirklevington via the A19, making it an ideal base for commuters.

Duchy Homes is an award-winning home builder with a strong reputation for building luxury properties in premium locations, with many distinguished developments completed across Yorkshire and the North East. Buyers can expect excellent build-quality with luxury fittings and generous, thoughtfully-designed interiors.

Work has now commenced on site at Forest Lane in anticipation for a sales launch of the Highgrove
development in early 2019.
