Greenwell Park

Development Overview

Greenwell Park is a new build development by Bovis Homes, part of the Vistry Group, situated off Selby Road in the established residential area of Garforth, West Yorkshire (LS25 1LF). The scheme is set to deliver a total of 79 new homes, including 13 designated for affordable housing, contributing a mix of house styles suitable for first-time buyers, families, and downsizers. The developer, Bovis Homes, is currently recognised as a five-star quality builder.

The development comprises a range of 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom houses. Current price guides indicate entry-level 2-bedroom semi-detached properties, such as the 'Holly' house type, starting from approximately £299,950. Mid-range family homes, including 3-bedroom semi-detached styles (e.g., 'Hazel' or 'Rowan'), are available from £339,950. The largest 4 and 5-bedroom detached homes within the development are priced up to £624,950.

Property Details

Each new build property at Greenwell Park is designed for modern, energy-efficient living, exceeding the standards of many older homes. Standard features include high-efficiency double glazing and water-saving measures in kitchens and bathrooms, contributing to lower running costs. All homes are covered by a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty for buyer assurance. Prospective buyers should contact the sales office to confirm plot-specific specifications; some available homes may include optional extras such as upgraded kitchen ranges or integrated BOSCH appliances as part of a package. The site design also incorporates ecological features, including pollinator-friendly planting under the developer’s PiP initiative.
