Oaklands, Easingwold

The unspoilt village of Easingwold is rightly proud of its reputation as one of the most desirable places to live in England. A quintessential Yorkshire village, with a strong sense of community, surrounded by stunning countryside, Easingwold has attracted awards and accolades from all corners.  Forward looking, yet proud of its history, Easingwold is the perfect match for the New Heritage Collection.

The new Redrow Homes development at Oaklands is ideally placed on the edge of the village, close to the high school and within easy reach of the A19 giving swift access to York and Thirsk.

Transport

Easingwold is situated just off the main A19, midway between Thirsk (ten miles to the north) and York (12 miles to the south). It is also within easy reach of the A1(M) and the M62, giving access to Harrogate, Leeds and Manchester beyond.

Mainline rail services are available from York, with London just two hours away and Manchester just an hour and twenty minutes. International flights can be found close by at Leeds Bradford Airport.

Leisure

Easingwold residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to high class pubs and restaurants. The Tea Hee Tearooms in the village was named by 'The Times' as one of the best in England, while the Michelin starred Black Swan in nearby Oldstead and the Durham Ox in Crayke have both been named 'AA Pub of the Year' in recent years.

For a small village, Easingwold has excellent leisure facilities too, with the superb Galtres Centre offering everything from cinema and theatre to presentations and leading productions via satellite. The attached sports complex includes a large sports hall, floodlit outdoor pitches, a fitness suite and even a rifle range. The village also boasts its own golf course, plus the essential Yorkshire village cricket team.

Shopping

When it comes to high quality shopping, once again, Easingwold leads the way, with a range of top stores and delicatessens, including Fine Foods of Yorkshire, which was voted one of the top three deli's in Britain by The Independent.

Just a short drive away, York has a fascinating range of independent shops that are brilliant for browsing, while Leeds has all the fashion and high street names you could ever need.

Days out

The North Yorks Moors National Park and Yorkshire Dales National Park are both within easy reach, offering a wide range of leisure opportunities. Closer to home, there is also an extensive network of well maintained footpaths in and around the village.

York Minster, the Jorvik Viking Centre and the famous Shambles all make York worth a day out, while the 'dinosaur coast' is also within easy reach, including famous seaside towns such as Scarborough and Filey.
