Groundworks are underway at a £23 million new development from Beal Homes, as it hopes to capitalise on recent recognition of Beverley’s quality of life and a booming housing market.

St Mary’s View will feature 90 homes, with two, three and four-bedroom houses, as well as three-bedroom bungalows.

First properties are anticipated to complete next summer on the 7.3-acre site, off Poplars Way, around a mile from the heart of the town centre.

The Sunday Times has named Beverley as one of the ��Ƶ’s Best Places to Live, saying the history, culture, shops, restaurants, pubs and green spaces in the “gorgeous Georgian market town” all contribute to an outstanding quality of life.

St Mary’s View follows the "outstanding success" of Beal’s fastest-selling development ever, which is also in Beverley. The 55 homes at St John’s Fold, close to Beverley Minster, were snapped up within 12 months, with the final buyers moving in last autumn.

Sue Waudby, Beal’s sales and marketing director, said: “The beginning of work on site signals to homebuyers that they will soon have the opportunity to secure a new luxury Beal home close to the heart of Beverley.

“Developments of this size in a location such as this, very close to the Westwood and a short walk to Beverley town centre, are extremely rare and we are confident St Mary’s View will be in high demand.

“Beverley offers a quality of life and range of attractions and facilities that is very difficult to beat anywhere and its appeal is growing all the time.

“Our last development in Beverley, St John’s Fold, was extremely popular and it has quickly become established as a lovely community where the residents enjoy all the town has to offer. Buyers at St Mary’s View can expect the same quality of homes, aspirational community and exceptional lifestyle.”

Brandesburton’s East Coast Construction has been appointed for groundworks, following on from the huge Greenways development in Goole, with the foundations for the first 12 houses anticipated this summer, prior to the Beal team starting. Roads and drainage are also being delivered.

Beal construction director John Goodfellow said: “We’re excited to be on site with another development in Beverley following the success of St John’s Fold.

“We’re working with our long-established supply chain within the region, including several contractors who worked on St John’s Fold, so this will deliver a significant economic boost as well as creating much-needed new homes for local people.”
