Introducing St. Stephen’s Place

** All homes are now reserved. **

This exceptional development of homes in Skipton, North Yorkshire is comprised of seven converted homes within the former St. Stephen’s School and Presbytery and three new builds. Within the listed buildings are four two bedroom duplex apartments, two three bedroom homes spread across four storeys and one three bedroom cottage with two floors. The three new townhouses at the rear of the site have three bedrooms, and border a communal green space for all residents to enjoy. View our homes in Skipton below, and take a look at the St. Stephen’s Place brochure here.

At Skipton Properties every development is a passion project for us, but this one holds special significance thanks to its location in the town in which our business was founded and from which it takes its name, and its status as a beloved local landmark. Our innovative designs for the conversion of St. Stephen’s were developed, in conjunction with a heritage specialist and Historic England, to work with the fabric of the buildings and celebrate their Gothic Revival architecture.

"This is the first brand new home I've ever owned. I love the fact it was ready for furniture and carpets. I chose Skipton Properties because of the quality of the build and the stone used. Thank you Skipton Properties, I'm so proud of my new home"

A homeowner - The Rise, Harden

"I was 'anti' new-build, but my partner loved the low hassle of buying somewhere finished and warrantied. What swung it for me was the location and the charm of the stonework and stone boundary walls, as well as the lovely reclaimed slate roof. These details really ground the house in its setting and turn the development into an asset for the village. Also the house makes good use of the space - we loved that both of the double bedrooms were identical decent sizes and not strange shapes. We loved there wasn't an en-suite hogging precious room from the bedrooms in our small home. We also really liked the open plan layout and reasonable sized garden which can be hard to find on a period terraced property. We are both precious about parking so the garage and parking space was the final tickbox that allowed us to go ahead. Also, Skipton Properties has a decent reputation locally after the development at Kearns Village, so the quality of that previous development helped give us some comfort buying on a building site!My dad is a site manager for a construction company and visited our home for the first time yesterday. He was impressed with things I hadn't thought about, such as the finish on the woodwork, and the mortar mix you'd chosen for the stonework. It's nice to know professionals can notice the difference between a 'standard' new build and a Skipton new build."

"We love our new home at The Bridge. Excellent buying experience and recommended lawyer. My only improvement would be to add flooring options to the specification."

A homeowner, The Bridge, Haworth

"I'm happy with my new home, which I bought for the location and on Skipton Properties being recommended by friends. Excellent recommended solicitors and good overall buying experience. It would be nice if a washing machine and dryer was included in the specification."

A homeowner, The Rise, Harden

"Past developments helped us buy with confidence, and we are happy with the aesthetic of both our house and the development as a whole. The use of space inside the home is well thought through. Our garage is a fantastically useable size, which is a real bonus. The aftercare from your team has been good to date too. You responded very satisfactorily to any Customer Care issues raised, especially considering 2020 was such a strange year! A company who strives to improve."

A homeowner, Victoria Fold

"I'm happy with all of my new home, particularly the layout, and I've had an excellent experience buying with you. The quality was what made me choose a home from Skipton Properties, and I would buy from you again."

A homeowner, Victoria Fold

"I enjoyed all the processes Skipton Properties has in place and would recommend them to anyone. The house is stunning and any little problems we have had have been dealt with straightaway."

A homeowner, The Green

"I had a good experience buying a new home from Skipton Properties across the board, from our interactions with the Sales Advisor, Site Manager, and recommended Financial Advisor and Solicitor to the response to any snags we raised. I would buy a home from Skipton Properties again."

A homeowner, The Bridge
