Greenlock Place

Development Overview

Greenlock Place is a new build development by Avant Homes, located on Pontefract Lane in the Skelton Lakes area of Leeds, West Yorkshire (LS9 0FB). This collection offers a range of modern 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom homes, designed to form part of the wider Skelton Lakes ambitious residential and community regeneration project. Current available property types include two-storey semi-detached, detached, and three-storey designs, with entry-level pricing for the development beginning from £285,000 for the smaller units, extending to approximately £460,000 for larger detached house types, such as the Thoresby. The development targets buyers seeking contemporary living with excellent connectivity to both Leeds city centre and the wider motorway network.

Property Details

The development features several distinct house styles, including the Cadeby (3-bedroom), Oakwood (3-bedroom), Wentbridge (4-bedroom), and the multi-level Dalton and Salbury (both 3+ and 4-bedroom three-storey options). A typical 4-bedroom detached house, such as the Thoresby, offers a layout that includes a separate lounge, a kitchen/dining/family room, a dedicated utility room, a snug, and a flexible live/work space. Standard specifications across the new build homes at Greenlock Place include a high standard of finish: a designer kitchen with integrated appliances, classic French doors, fashionable tiling, and off-street parking. Specific features and finishes are dependent on the chosen plot and house type; prospective buyers are advised to consult the developer's brochure for precise architectural and interior specifications.

Location and Transport

Greenlock Place is situated approximately 15 minutes by car from Leeds city centre. Transport links are a key feature of the location, with the Woodlesford Railway Station just a 10-minute drive away, providing direct train services to Leeds, Sheffield, Knottingley, and Goole. For local public transport, the Beckside Crescent bus stop is a 5-minute walk, offering the PR2 service every 20 minutes for direct access into central Leeds. Vehicular access is excellent, with the development situated close to connections for the M1, M62, and A1(M). The Temple Green Park and Ride facility is also a 5-minute drive from the site.

Local Amenities and Developer Profile

Local day-to-day amenities include a Tesco Express approximately 7 minutes away by car, and a Sainsbury’s supermarket within a 9-minute drive. The adjacent service area offers immediate access to named dining and coffee options including Nando’s, Pizza Express, KFC, and Starbucks. The Skelton Lakes regeneration masterplan includes future provision for a new school, medical centre, food store, veterinary hospital, and children's nursery, which will enhance community infrastructure upon completion (completion dates to be confirmed). The area is close to the RSPB Skelton Gate Nature Reserve and Skelton Country Park. The developer, Avant Homes, has been awarded a 5-star rating in the Home Builders Federation (HBF) customer satisfaction survey, indicating that over 90% of customers would recommend them. However, prospective buyers should note that independent reviews show mixed customer feedback regarding post-sales support and snagging resolution, a common consideration for all new build purchases.
