Development Overview

Property Details

All homes at Stewarts Reach are designed to be future-proofed and entirely gas-free, representing a significant step in energy-efficient living. Each property features an air source heat pump, which is up to four times more energy-efficient than traditional gas central heating. This enhanced efficiency is complemented by standard underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor, providing efficient warmth and maximising usable space by eliminating radiators. House types such as The Halton include specific features like a utility room, a downstairs W.C., an open-plan kitchen/diner with French doors to the garden, and four double bedrooms, with the main bedroom benefiting from an en-suite and an integral garage. The Kingsville provides flexible three-storey living with three double bedrooms and an additional room suitable for a home office or fourth bedroom. All properties come with the standard 10-year NHBC warranty.

Location Benefits

Stewarts Reach is positioned with practical accessibility. The site sits near the A1079, providing direct road links to York (approximately 12 miles, 20-24 minutes drive) and Hull (approximately 20 miles, 38 minutes drive). While Pocklington itself does not have a train station, the nearest main line station is York, which can be reached by the regular X46 bus service in approximately 50 minutes, with the bus route connecting Hull and York and stopping in the town centre. Educational needs are well-catered for, with Pocklington School just 0.7 miles away and Woldgate School and Sixth Form College 0.9 miles away. Local amenities are a short walk away in Pocklington town centre, which is known for its independent businesses, including the Pocklington Arts Centre, the East Riding Leisure Francis Scaife sports centre (offering a public swimming pool), and local food shops such as Mannions fine food store and various cafes. The town also hosts a weekly market and is the 'Gateway to the Wolds', offering access to the natural beauty of the Yorkshire Wolds and attractions like the renowned Burnby Hall Gardens.
