Housebuilder Banks Homes has welcomed dozens of visitors to the show homes at its first residential site in the Tees Valley over their opening weekend.
The County Durham-headquartered developer is building up to 109 high quality family homes at its new Cornfields site, which sits off Green Lane the southern edge of Yarm.
Banks is expecting the first Cornfields properties to be ready for buyers to move into early in the new year – and after the opening weekend, five new homes have already been reserved.
The Cornfields is the first Banks Homes development to feature show homes based on designs from the company’s bespoke range of new homes, with the five-bedroom Sheraton and four-bedroom Hawthorne properties now open for viewing five days a week.
A total of 11 different property designs featuring between three and five bedrooms will be available at The Cornfields, with all the properties being fitted with smart heating systems, air source heat pumps and electric vehicle car charging points.
The four and five-bedroom homes come with ground floor underfloor heating as standard, along with selected house types with 2.6m high ceilings to ground floor.
Aisling Ramshaw, sales and marketing director at Banks Homes, says: “Banks Homes creates sustainable, future-proofed homes that provide style as standard and support healthier, happier lives for the families living in them.
“Seeing the reaction of our guests at The Cornfields over our opening weekend gives us great confidence that we’re delivering levels of quality and desirability that match our ambitions.
“The Cornfields is just a short distance from the centre of Yarm, one of the region’s most beautiful and sought-after places to live, and we know there’s going to be a huge amount of demand for the new homes we’re now building.”
Part of the County Durham-headquartered Banks Group, Banks Homes is building a growing portfolio of high-quality residential sites across North East England and Yorkshire, with development also under way at sites in West Rainton and Hambleton in North Yorkshire.
The company has also recently announced plans for three new North East developments, at Redmarshall near Stockton, High Shincliffe near Durham City and Sedgefield, which will include more than 200 new family homes in total.
Russ Hall, managing director at Banks Homes, adds: “Banks Homes is bringing together striking design, future-proof sustainability and desirable locations to create a new blueprint for contemporary living.
“Our exceptional team has achieved a huge amount this year and it’s been brilliant to see growing numbers of house buyers happily moving into their new Banks homes.
“We’ve got a lot more to come next year, both within and outside the North East, and can’t wait to start building on the momentum we’ve created through 2025.”
New homes are now available at The Cornfields from £325,950, with the two show homes available for viewing from 10am to 5pm every day from Thursday through to Monday.
