A BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE on the picturesque River Ouse

Great Ouseburn takes its name from the picturesque River Ouse, which begins in the garden of the Great Ouseburn Workhouse and is believed to be around 52 miles long.

The village, during William the Conqueror’s reign, was originally part of the district of Knaresborough, which was a Royal Forest and Great Ouseburn was granted the status of ‘Forest Liberty Town’. We have taken inspiration from this for the development name of ‘Forest Chase’.

As well as the river, the town boasts lovely open spaces of greenery, with many opportunities for enjoying leisurely walks, cycling and generally enjoying this beautiful area.

For a village of its size, it has excellent facilities including a pub, a Post Office and a village hall, as well as a joiners workshop, builders yard, blacksmiths and a stonemason.

The village has a fabulous, award winning pub: The Lime Tree Inn, which is a family run country establishment offering seriously good food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The menu is seasonal with everything made in house from quality ingredients sourced from local suppliers or their own kitchen garden. The inn boasts AA 5 stars and a cask mark award for the quality of its beer, as well as an AA breakfast award and AA rosette for culinary excellence.

St. Mary’s the Virgin’s Church is often referred to as the focal point of the village and boasts a Norman tower with 13th, 14th and 15th century additions.

Great Ouseburn has a lovely village feel and hosts many events throughout the year including open gardens, craft fairs, summer cricket camp, beer festival, school events and Spring festivals.

SUSTAINABLE & ENERGY EFFICIENT we take our responsibilities seriously

There are so many reasons to consider investing in a new build property, not least for their energy efficiency, reduced impact on the environment and green credentials.

The Home Builders Federation released a report in October that highlights that in total, last year’s new build purchasers are not only saving money, but they are having a positive effect on the environment too, when compared to older properties.

Savings are achieved by using advanced build materials, as new build homes are much more thermally efficient and airtight. We fit modern, double glazed windows that are highly efficient in terms of insulation that reduces heat loss and saves on energy usage.

Stonebridge take climate change seriously. At Forest Chase all properties come with an electric vehicle charging point, at no extra cost. The charging point future proofs your home and allows you to charge your car when it is not in use, in the same way you would a mobile phone.

All our homes are fitted with a security alarm, however, to provide an even greater sense of security, and further enhance your energy efficiency, Stonebridge offer Hive as standard, allowing you to control your heating remotely. Hive comes with the option to add on other elements including, CCTV, dimmable lights, and radiator controls.

In addition, 100% of our lights are energy efficient, and our homes include dual flush toilets.

On average owners of new build houses are saving £2,600 per year in energy costs

The average new build home emits a third of the carbon of older properties, reducing emissions by 2.5 tonnes each year

84% of new build homes are rated A or B for energy efficiency

Less than 4% of older homes achieve the same grade

New build homebuyers are helping to reduce carbon emissions by more than 500,000 tonnes each year
