Best Large Development at Yorkshire Residential Property Awards 2019

On Thursday 10 October, the Higher Raikes in Skipton was awarded ‘Best Large Development’ at the prestigious Yorkshire Residential Property Awards 2019 at a glittering ceremony at Bowcliffe Hall in Leeds.

Designed by Bowman Riley for RN Wooler & Co Ltd, Higher Raikes is a new residential development in an attractive setting on the semi-rural fringe of Skipton yet within walking distance of the town centre.

The development comprises 45 three, four and five-bedroom family houses, the majority of which are detached. 30 per cent of the development is affordable homes contributing to the need for additional houses in the Craven area of North Yorkshire.

Each home was individually designed to provide generous room proportions designed to cater to the needs of modern family life.  The high specification properties are to be built in random natural reclaimed stone with landscaped gardens, private driveways and stone-built garages. Many of the plots will also benefit from views towards the surrounding hills and countryside.

Higher Raikes was designed to be sympathetic to the character of the surrounding area and of a much lower density than many new housing estates to create an attractive gateway development into Skipton.
