About Oakwood Gardens, Burniston
Development Overview
Oakwood Gardens is a new build homes development by Lovell Homes, situated on Limestone Road in the historic village of Burniston, North Yorkshire (YO13 0DG). The development is a mixed-tenure project, planned to feature 46 total properties, including 32 units designated for the open market and a remainder for affordable housing. The project officially commenced construction in 2024, with the full site completion scheduled for 2026. A Show Home is now open for viewings, with the first open-market homes expected to hit the market in early 2025.
Available properties include a selection of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom homes, offering options for first-time buyers, families, and downsizers. Prices for the open-market homes currently range from approximately £206,995 for a 3-bedroom Haxey house type to £436,995 for the 4-bedroom Leyburn. Shared Ownership options are also available, for example, a 40% share of a 2-bedroom semi-detached home is priced from £78,000.
Property Details
The collection of house types includes the 3-bedroom Burnsall and Newbury, the 2-bedroom Wike, and the 4-bedroom Leyburn and Ramsey. The homes are designed for contemporary living, featuring open-plan kitchen/dining areas with French doors leading to the rear garden, separate lounges, and downstairs cloakrooms.
Notably, all properties at Oakwood Gardens are designed to be gas-free, contributing to sustainability and reduced running costs. Each home is equipped with an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) and an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging point. New build homes of this type are independently projected to be significantly more energy efficient than older properties, potentially saving homeowners up to £979 annually on heating, hot water, and lighting costs. All properties include a 10 Year Premier Guarantee Warranty.
