A day to celebrate Yorkshire…
Every year on 1st August, Yorkshire Day gives us a chance to celebrate everything that makes this county so special. From rolling countryside and dramatic coastlines to bustling market towns and thriving cities, Yorkshire is a place that inspires fierce pride among the people who call it home.
At Space Homes, Yorkshire Day is particularly meaningful because Yorkshire isn’t just where we build homes, it’s the only place we build them. As a Yorkshire-rooted homebuilder, we’re proud to help more people find their place in God’s Own County.
Why Yorkshire is such a special place to live…
Ask anyone who lives here, and they’ll tell you Yorkshire is more than just a location, it’s a way of life. There’s incredible variety for a start. You can spend the morning exploring the cobbled streets of a historic market town, enjoy an afternoon walk through beautiful countryside, and still be within easy reach of major cities, transport links, shopping and entertainment.
Families are drawn to Yorkshire's welcoming communities, excellent schools and abundance of green space. First time buyers appreciate the opportunity to find homes in locations that offer both value and quality of life. Retirees enjoy peaceful villages and coastal destinations, while professionals benefit from strong transport connections and growing employment hubs.
Then there’s the character. Every Yorkshire town, village and city has its own identity shaped by local history, culture and community spirit. Whether it’s the Saturday market in Beverley, the riverside charm of Knaresborough or the seaside heritage of Bridlington, Yorkshire offers countless opportunities to find a place that feels like home.
A Yorkshire homebuilder, only building in Yorkshire…
At Space Homes, our commitment to Yorkshire runs deeper than the locations we choose. We build exclusively across Yorkshire, creating homes designed around the needs of local people and local communities. Every development is shaped by local insight, from the location and layout to the way homes support modern living. Because we know Yorkshire so well, we understand that people want different things from where they live. Some are looking for vibrant town centres within walking distance, others want village surroundings and countryside views, while many are seeking affordable routes onto the property ladder in well-connected locations.
Space Homes is part of Yorkshire Housing, meaning our purpose extends beyond building quality homes for sale. Profits from Space Homes property sales are reinvested back into Yorkshire housing, helping to fund more social and affordable homes across the region. Every home purchased contributes to creating opportunities for more people to access high-quality housing throughout Yorkshire. It’s a model built around long-term investment in the places and communities we care about most.
