The development offers a diverse mix of energy-efficient properties, comprising 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom homes, including semi-detached and detached house types, as well as two-bedroom apartments. Current available homes and reserved properties are priced from approximately £394,995 to £579,995. The Wetherby location places the development within Yorkshire’s 'Golden Triangle,' offering connectivity to Leeds, York, and Harrogate.

Property Details

The properties at Swinnow Park feature modern designs with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency. The development is notable for being Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire's first to incorporate a community heat hub, alongside a suite of sustainable features intended to lower utility costs. Specific energy-saving elements include triple glazing, smart heating systems, Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points, and wastewater heat recovery units. House types vary in size and layout; for example, the three-bedroom 'Riston' semi-detached home offers approximately 1173 sq ft of space, with specific plots (e.g., Plot 14) currently marketed with an upgraded kitchen included. The four-bedroom detached 'Kingdale' home type provides a sociable kitchen/diner layout. The development has been designed with a landscape-led approach, incorporating allotments, a nature reserve, orchards, and extensive green space with internal footpaths.

Location Benefits

Swinnow Park benefits significantly from its direct access to major road networks, including the nearby A1(M) motorway, facilitating rapid commuting to the wider region. While Wetherby does not have its own railway station, key rail links are accessible via Leeds and York. Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) is located approximately 15 miles away. Local public transport is served by bus routes 412, 7, and 8, with the nearest stop, Swinnow Lodge, a short walk from the Racecourse Approach entrance. The town itself offers a close-knit community atmosphere with an historic centre, featuring a range of independent shops, cafés, pubs, and markets.
