Sovereign Park



Sovereign Park, Boroughbridge Road, York

Time is running out if you want to make a corner of Sovereign Park yours.

Only a handful of properties at the development off Boroughbridge Road on the north-western corner of York are still on the market – and they’re not going to be there much longer!

Sovereign Park is a new estate sandwiched between a well-established residential suburb and some of the classic industrial centres of the city.

Included in the Barratt Homeas development are two, three and four-bedroom homes – clearly designed with families in mind, set within easy walking distance of Carr Infant and Junior Schools, Poppleton Road Primary and Manor School.

When it comes to getting out and about to get on with the daily grind, Sovereign Park is right on the central road to Harrogate, roughly 20 miles away, or a traffic-forgiving minute from the outer A1237 ring road and from there onto the A64, Leeds and the M1 or M62.

Its key blessing though can also be a curse with heavy volumes of traffic on the A59 at peak-times with the roundabout connecting it to the A1237 a notorious blackspot – especially when travelling from the east or west of York

Getting into the city of York can be equally as slow at times by car but the distance is both walkable and cycle friendly – and just a short taxi-ride home from the dozens of bars and restaurants in the vibrant city centre.

At least parking is no hassle with allocated spaces for residents.

The main York train station – as seen in a Harry Potter film near you – is in the closest part of the city to Boroughbridge Road. The downside to that is a number of busy rail lines running close to Sovereign Park.
Thankfully for all those after a good night’s sleep, double-glazing comes as standard as one of the many special touches in these new-build homes.

Also set to bring a smile to househunters’ lips are the modern kitchen fittings complete with oven, hob and hood.
Accompanying the contemporary feel is the classy open living-dining areas, ideal for entertaining should the mood take you, and with energy-efficient heating, there will be one less pang of guilt for the environmentally minded.

Many of the apartments and townhouses at Sovereign Park boast en suite bath or shower rooms to the master bedroom with the main bathrooms benefiting from a co-ordinated colour scheme.

Two-bedroom apartments start at a slender £159,950 with the larger townhouses going for between £196,995 and £100,000 more on top.

The location is what you pay for in this game and Sovereign Park York has all the hallmarks of a family-led commuter’s dream.

And that’s also why you’ll need to get your skates on if you want to find this particular pot of gold.
