Spacious and sensitively designed new homes in this stunning village set on the eastern edge of the city of York. Offering beautiful views across peaceful countryside, The Paddocks presents an increasingly rare opportunity: high-specification new homes in a picturesque rural setting, all just a short drive from York city centre.

The development will offer a selection of three, four and five-bedroomed homes, each boasting a superb standard of finish both inside and out. Clever design makes excellent use of each property’s already generous space, particularly in the ground floor layouts which offer light and airy family rooms. The Paddocks distinct layout – extending the established street scene of Melbourne village – means that every property enjoys spacious boundaries and a superb degree of privacy.

The Storwood (Type B)

A spacious and competitively priced home boasting three double-bedrooms (with an optional fourth bedroom or study), The Storwood also offers an en suite to the master in addition to a family bathroom on the first floor. A large open plan kitchen and dining area provides a perfect family hub on the ground floor.
