Nestled just a few miles outside Leeds lies a brand new housing development with its roots in history, and its heart devoted to building a new community which works for people from across Yorkshire

The Potteries is a new development from Woodbridge Homes, created in picturesque Woodlesford.

And while these homes are ultra-modern, with a distinctive Scandinavian style and all the mod cons you could wish for, there’s a heritage attached.

The new homes were originally introduced in the village of Woodlesford more than 50 years ago by an architect who was truly ahead of his time, and that heritage is being continued today by Woodbridge Homes, which is delivering for two distinct communities. These Scandi homes earned the development conservation area status due to their distinct attractive style.

Today Woodlesford is an idyllic commuter spot from Harrogate and Leeds, and is attracting couples and families into its heart near the river valley.

Development one, Pottery Hill, is made up of five-bedroom detached houses, with room to grow your family and your lifestyle to match.

Each home has a cinema room, gym, garage and guest bedroom on the ground floor, living room, utility room, kitchen diner and further reception room on the middle floor, and up on the third floor they enjoy four further bedrooms (the master has an ensuite) and a family bathroom.

This is country living meets urban practicality … Woodlesford village is just six miles from Leeds if you take the canal route up the Aire and Calder, and, more conventionally, it has its own train station with services into the city seven days a week.

Enjoy open plan living and dining space, where bi-fold doors open up to include the garden as part of the modern way of life, with the kitchen at the very heart of the home. There’s stylish specs, a wraparound breakfast bar and a family room with separate study area on the ground floor.
