Kensington Vale

Development Overview

Kensington Vale is a new build development by Ashberry Homes, situated in the market town of Howden, East Yorkshire (DN14 7JW), on land adjacent to Selby Road. The development is nearing completion, comprising 145 energy-efficient new homes with a varied mix of house types, including 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom properties, designed to appeal to first-time buyers, growing families, and professional commuters. Ashberry Homes holds a nine-year consecutive 5-star builder status from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), reflecting that over 90% of their surveyed customers would recommend them to a friend, and the developer operates under the New Homes Quality Code.

Property Details

The development features a range of house styles, including terraces, semi-detached, and detached new build homes. Specific types include the three-bedroom 'Heather' and the four-bedroom detached 'Angelica' and 'Hibiscus' styles. The homes are designed with contemporary living in mind, featuring modern living spaces, contemporary kitchens, and integrated appliances. Selected properties also include private parking or garages, a practical consideration for family and professional residents. The variety in property size and type was intentionally planned to create a diverse community environment in this East Riding location.
