Development Overview

Strawberry Fields is a new build homes development by Avant Homes, located off Main Street in the village of Carlton, West Yorkshire (WF3 3RW). The development offers a mix of 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom properties, including semi-detached and detached house types.

Avant Homes is a regional developer operating across Scotland, Yorkshire, and the Midlands. The company focuses on contemporary open-plan designs and high internal specification. While some homeowners report a high standard of finish and good design, particularly with the modern layouts, prospective buyers should note the developer has received mixed reviews regarding post-completion customer service and snagging resolution on some sites.

Property Details

The development features several house styles, including the two-bedroom semi-detached 'Otley,' with prices starting from £290,000, and the five-bedroom 'Ashford' detached home, priced from £570,000. The specification across all new build homes includes a guaranteed Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of B or above. Standard features comprise designer kitchens with integrated appliances, which typically include a fridge, freezer, oven, and hob. Properties also feature classic French doors opening onto generous gardens, fashionable tiling in the bathrooms, and contemporary sanitaryware in the WC. The layouts are designed for modern living, with open-plan kitchen/dining spaces central to the design philosophy. The two-bedroom 'Otley' model, for instance, includes a spacious lounge leading to an open-plan kitchen/dining area and a flexible garage storage space.
