"We have always wanted to buy a property here to be closer to family and friends and Castle Fields appealed because of its perfect location.

"Our house overlooks the castle and has wonderful views.

“The fact it’s a new build was an attractive feature for us, alongside the excellent specification.

"Having seen the quality of the show home, we knew that this development would be first-class, and we are very impressed with the build inside and out.

The estate agent marketing Castle Fields, Nick Henderson, from Hendersons, said: “Whitby, has recently been named the most in-demand coastal resort for housing in the UK by Rightmove and judging by the interest in Castle Fields, they were right!

"Location is obviously key when it comes to new homes and Castle Fields really takes some beating.”

"Since launching the show home in January, that has only increased, with buyers being particularly impressed with our attention to detail and exacting standards.

"Castle Fields provides choice - with 16 different house styles – and that means every home has its own style and identity.”

Prices at Castle Fields start from £270,000 and range up to £395,000 for the five-bedroom detached homes in phase one, with phase two set to be released soon.
