South Bank, Clifton and Heworth
Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, long narrow gardens, high walls and often no side access. Several streets are in conservation areas. Compact decks near the house, built-in seating and careful detailing against old brick are typical.
Fulford and Heslington
Larger period houses in Fulford, some close to the Ouse, and a mix of older village houses and newer homes in Heslington. Gardens are wider and greener, with mature trees.
Dringhouses
1930s semis and detached houses with good-sized gardens, many with back doors above garden level. Raised decks and wide steps are common requests.
Bishopthorpe and Copmanthorpe
Villages south of the city with cottages, 1960s to 1990s homes and larger houses. Hardwood decks and decks under old fruit trees suit the village feel.
Haxby, Wigginton and Strensall
Large villages north of the city with lots of family homes and generous gardens. Composite decks, sometimes multi-level, are popular.
The Poppletons and Skelton
Upper and Nether Poppleton are attractive villages, partly in conservation areas, with older houses and big gardens. Skelton has a mix of old and newer homes.
Common questions
Do you cover Haxby and Wigginton?
Yes, both are well within our area, along with Strensall.
Do you work inside the city walls?
Yes, though gardens there are rare and often small courtyards. Access and heritage considerations need extra care.
