Sustainable development gets the thumbs up for local buyer

Yorkshire-born Katrina Mountfort moved from Essex into her dream home at David Wilson Homes’ Derwenthorpe development. Like many of the development’s new homeowners, Katrina was attracted to Derwenthorpe’s community focused ethos, and sustainable attitude. After hearing about the new homes through a friend, Katrina decided to look around a showhome, where she fell in love with the contemporary and innovative design of the house. The freelance medical writer has now settled into her new home, and is enjoying all that the award winning development has to offer.

Derwenthorpe features innovative contemporary design, whilst embracing sustainability within every day living. The wonderful spaces for recreation and play, which David Wilson Homes has prioritised at this development, foster a vibrant and supportive community, and Katrina is one of many new residents who have flocked to the site. The happy homeowner, 52, moved into her new home with her husband Gerry and their two black Labradors, who will no doubt make use of all the green spaces that the development boasts.

With close links to York, Derwenthorpe has proved popular with local buyers and commuters alike, with the location delivering the perfect balance between green living and easy access to York, just two miles away.

A delighted Katrina explained why Derwenthorpe was the perfect fit for her: “After hearing about the development through a friend, I had a look at the website and was so impressed by the importance David Wilson Homes put on community values. This on top of the sustainability factor really sold me on buying my new home here. I visited a showhome and the rest is history, I fell in love with the layout of the house. As a professional who often works from home, I found the study an invaluable asset. I also loved the open plan layout downstairs, which creates such a great use of space - it’s absolutely perfect for our needs.

“Buying a house at Derwenthorpe has been a delight from start to finish. The sales team have been excellent; friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. The whole experience has really helped me to feel completely settled in my new home.”
