New Chapter Leads Couple From Scotland To Yorkshire

Saturday 1 August is Yorkshire Day and provides an opportunity to speak to Stephen and Siobhan Peacock about their moving from Scotland to a Redrow home in a North Yorkshire village.

When it came to selling up and starting their next chapter of life together, the rural surroundings of North Yorkshire was their ideal location of choice.

The couple had lived on the outskirts of Glasgow city centre for a number of years but decided it was time to fulfil their life-long ambition of moving 200 miles south to the Yorkshire countryside so they could enjoy all that the region has to offer.

“It had been on our wish list for years but our careers were pretty settled. I worked as an engineer at ScottishPower and Siobhan worked in the dietetic department for the NHS so we had to put the move on the backburner,” said Stephen.

But when the time was finally right, they found their dream home in the quaint village of Green Hammerton, at Redrow’s Churchfields development

“It was perfectly located so we could enjoy the countryside lifestyle, with its pubs and walking trails, while still having good access to places such as York and Harrogate,” added Stephen. They fell in love with it due to its design and thought it was a very attractive new build development compared to others they’d seen.

“The way it’s presented really appealed to us. The houses have plenty of space around them and they’re not all crammed in like you see on some newer developments.”

They chose to buy a four-bedroom detached ‘Bramham’ house type which includes a spacious kitchen and dining area overlooking the garden, plus a separate lounge and study and four double bedrooms.

“The ‘Bramham’ was the best option for us as it gives us plenty of space to cater for family and friends who often visit,” said Stephen.

Making a move from such a distance away was a big decision and the couple have said that they were helped and supported along the way by the sales team at Churchfields.

The development they chose is now sold out but Redrow has plenty of other new homes to choose from across North, West and East Yorkshire.

“We’ve got everything from traditional Yorkshire stone properties in village locations like Thongsbridge, near Holmfirth, to the contemporary apartments and townhouses we’re building at Thorpe Park, Leeds – and lots in between,” said Steve Jackson, Redrow’s Yorkshire sales director.
