Homes Designed for First-Time Buyers

Located on Stump Cross, Harclay Park isn’t just another new-build estate—it’s a growing community set within 17 acres of green space, offering a mix of modern living and semi-rural charm. The development is well connected, with easy access to Leeds, York, and Middlesbrough, making it ideal for commuters who still want a quieter home life.

One standout option for first-time buyers is the Amber-style home. This one-bedroom property has been designed with modern living in mind, featuring:

• An open-plan kitchen and lounge on the ground floor, perfect for maximising space.
• A large double bedroom upstairs, complete with a dedicated work-from-home space.
• A family bathroom, giving the home a practical and comfortable layout.

Sam Wood, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Yorkshire West, describes the Amber as “ideal for those looking to make the step onto the property ladder.”

Boroughbridge: A Great Place to Call Home

Boroughbridge itself offers the best of both worlds—peaceful surroundings but with everything you need close by. The town has a bustling high street, with shops, cafés, and restaurants, making daily life convenient and enjoyable.

For those who enjoy outdoor spaces, Harclay Park is surrounded by green areas, meaning weekend walks and fresh air are always on the doorstep.

Help for First-Time Buyers and Key Workers

Buying a home can be expensive, but Barratt Homes is offering support schemes to make things easier. One of the standout initiatives is the Key Worker Deposit Contribution. This scheme helps essential workers, including:

• NHS staff
• Teachers
• Police officers
• Firefighters
• Prison service employees

Eligible key workers can receive £1,000 for every £20,000 spent on their new home, helping to reduce upfront costs.
