We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you. We are closing our Show Home in Plot 1 at The Alders, Skipton, and it will soon become the warm abode for a new family.



Closing the doors of The Middleton in Plot 1 signifies the end of one chapter but opens another. We are delighted to introduce a temporary pop-up show home in <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/property/the-elder-plot-29/">The Elder</a>, showcasing our innovative bungalow concept in Plot 29. We kindly ask for your understanding and patience as we navigate through this transition period, ensuring that every detail aligns seamlessly with our commitment to excellence. We&#8217;ll let you know as soon as we are ready, however, please note that our Sales Office will be in the Elder whilst we transform the space so feel free to pop in or book an appointment in the meantime.



<a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/property/the-elder-plot-29/">The Elder</a>, with its distinctive bungalow design, captures the essence of comfortable and contemporary living. This pop-up is being created to give you another experience of our homes while we eagerly prepare for the next phase of our journey. Look forward to stylish interiors that may spark ideas for your own space. Act now, as we have only three Elder homes left. Contact us for more information before the launch—we&#8217;d love to fill you in on the special features of these final homes.



Mark your calendars in late March, as we eagerly anticipate the grand opening of our brand new show home in the <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/property/the-cooper-plot-70/">Cooper</a> (which we just have one of btw!). This Show Home will exemplify the spacious luxury of three-storey living, a feature in all of our homes remaining at the Alders in Skipton. From top to bottom, every corner is being meticulously crafted to reflect the essence of our family values and commitment to creating homes that resonate with the way modern families live.



Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for believing in our homes.

A spring in your step? Make your move with Skipton Properties

We are delighted to announce the launch of our newest development, <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/the-willows-silsden/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/the-willows-silsden/">The Willows in Silsden</a>, West Yorkshire. This weekend, join us at our Marketing Suite for an exclusive preview of these thoughtfully crafted homes. Walk-ins are warmly welcomed, or appointments can be made between 10:30 am and 5 pm.



As a family business, crafting these 44 homes from natural stone has been more than a project – it&#8217;s a labour of love for our team. From the careful selection of the land to the anticipation of this sales launch, it&#8217;s been a journey that spans three years of dedication and passion.



The Willows features 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes, all meticulously built in natural stone with an emphasis on stone detailing, reflecting Skipton Properties&#8217; renowned commitment to quality and attention to detail. One of the standout features of the development is a stone wall that spans over half of the development, seamlessly integrating with the natural landscape.



Embracing sustainability, The Willows is equipped with solar panels and electric car charging, reflecting our dedication to eco-friendly living.



The first homes to be released include the four-bedroom family home, <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/property/the-hartford-plot-1/">The Hartford</a> (there will just be one on the development), and the three-bedroom <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/property/the_ashton_plot_2/">Ashton</a>. Also making a return is The Emily, a favourite from The Green in Glusburn.



<figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://cms.verityandcohomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/The-Chadwick-FloorPlan-Design-News-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-53495"/></figure>



We are excited to introduce a new home, <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/property/the-chadwick-plot-9/">The Chadwick</a>. These three-bedroom homes, backing onto the canal, feature a unique design with arched window detailing to the front elevations. To take advantage of their canalside position, triangular glazing has been incorporated into the gables to ensure abundant natural light pours into the home. Inside expect contemporary designs with island kitchens, quartz worktops and large master suites.



When will be launching a Show Home you may ask?



Our Show Home and View Home, situated in Plots 43 and 44—The Read and The Emily, respectively—are set to launch this Summer.



In the meantime why not browse photos of our latest Show Home at <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/croft-mill-foulridge/">Croft Mill</a> in Foulridge, Lancashire.

What 3 Words: happy.going.could Address: Hainsworth Road, Silsden, BD20 0LJ



Considering the weather, we recommend wearing boots as our site, while tarmacked, has been a bit of a challenge to keep entirely clean due to its natural surroundings.

Introducing the Willows in Silsden

Celebrating <a href="https://naw.appawards.co.uk/">#NationalApprenticeshipWeek2024,</a> we&#8217;re thrilled to introduce Poppy, our newest apprentice in the Sales and Marketing department!



As part of our introduction process, we&#8217;ve had the pleasure of interviewing Poppy with five &#8220;get to know me&#8221; questions, where her personality has shone through.



What inspired you to pursue a career in sales and marketing? I have always enjoyed things that allow me to use my creative skills, I like that it is a continuously challenging role, in Sales and Marketing you often encounter challenges and must react to changes in consumer behaviours. I would say the thing that inspired me the most was the prospects, as sales and marketing can offer a clear path for career progression in lots of different avenues.



What do you hope to achieve during your time as an apprentice in our company? I hope to gain industry knowledge and a deep understanding of sales and marketing principles, strategies, and techniques. I also hope to learn graphic design skills and help to upkeep the brand identity.



What&#8217;s one skill or area of knowledge you&#8217;re excited to develop during your time here? I hope to develop my customer-facing skills and gain confidence with my contributions to projects.



Outside of work, what are some of your hobbies or interests? Outside of work I enjoy seeing live music and attending festivals, I also like to go on big walks with my friends, family, and doggies.



If you were to describe yourself using three adjectives, which ones would you choose? I would say sociable, enthusiastic, and open-minded.



We&#8217;re looking forward to seeing Poppy&#8217;s growth and progression throughout her Apprenticeship!

Generosity Shines as Community Comes Together for a Magical Christmas



The<a href="https://ssia.org.uk/"> Skipton Step Into Action</a> Christmas Elves appeal 2023 has wrapped up another successful year, thanks to the overwhelming support from the local community. A heartfelt message from the organiser extends gratitude to donors and volunteers who played a crucial role in making Christmas special for 152 children across 59 families in Skipton and its surrounding villages.



The appeal, which saw an outpouring of generosity, managed to raise approximately £9500 through monetary donations, gifts, and other items. This substantial sum has been directly channelled towards ensuring that each child received a tailored Christmas present, valued up to £25, making sure that their wishes came true.

Parents were given the opportunity to request specific gifts for their children, and the organisers went above and beyond by supplementing the presents with a selection box, hand-knitted hats or scarves, books, games, toys, stationery, craft kits, and accessories.



A team of 45 dedicated volunteers played a pivotal role in the success of the appeal, from promoting it to local communities and businesses to collecting, sorting, wrapping, and delivering 152 bags of presents.
