George Wimpey’s Becksmead bows out

With its picturesque surroundings and high quality homes it isn’t surprising that George Wimpey North Yorkshire’s Becksmead in Stillington has been such a hit with new home-buyers.

Although the property markets is only just beginning to pick up across the country, Becksmead has been popular with buyers looking for a beautiful semi-rural retreat since its launch in Spring 2007.

Buyers looking to experience family living at its very best still have an opportunity to own a four bedroom, three storey Arlington home at Becksmead.

The Arlington features an integral garage, private garden and en-suite facilities to the master bedroom. On entering the Arlington there is a cloakroom and kitchen with dining area and French doors, which lead onto the rear garden. Moving up to the first floor there is a bathroom, lounge and fourth bedroom, which could easily be used as a study. The second floor has a further three bedrooms, including the master suite. The Arlington is priced from £144,950.

Jackie McKeown, field sales manager for George Wimpey North Yorkshire, said: “We’ve had a terrific response to Becksmead. Visitors have been excited about the variety of beautiful-designed homes we’ve had available and, of course, their great location.

“We are now down to our final three homes at Becksmead which is really a testament to how we have just what today’s buyers are looking for. The Arlington is a very spacious, versatile home and so will suit families as well as friends sharing or even those just looking for a bit of extra space.”


The development consists of just 53 properties, including four bedroom, three storey townhouses and four bedroom detached homes.

Situated on the edge of Stockton, Stillington has its own range of local amenities and is also near the traditional villages of Norton and Yarm which have a selection of exclusive boutiques.

Stockton and Middlesbrough are also only a short drive away, providing a wealth of shopping and leisure facilities.

Close to the development is the popular Wynyard Woodland Park which offers a haven for a relaxing walk. Major attractions are available for horseracing fans and keen golfers in particular, with the Sedgefield Racecourse and Knotty Hill Golf centre located nearby.

Becksmead is also perfectly placed for transport, providing commuters easy access to the A19, A66, A167 and A689.
