Situated next to Grade II listed Ousefield House, Urban Renaissance consists of 4 luxury 4-bed and 5-bed new build homes on the edge of the City of York.
Each property has been designed to respond to the sensitive nature of the site, respecting the existing mature trees and prominence of Ousefield. The features also take reference from the surrounding conservation area.
The dynamic massing and contemporary appearance ensures the homes are architecturally distinctive within the setting. Equally, the use of high-quality materials and focus on external environment provides a solution which compliments the surrounding qualities.
The selection and design of the brickwork and exterior detailing assists in visually referencing Ousefield, while timber cladding and bespoke timber fins soften elements of the properties, adding architectural interest and solar shading.
Zinc cladding matches the tone of traditional slate, yet provides a contemporary look.
High levels of insulation, Air Source heat pumps, Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery, and 22 KW three-phase electric car charging points all contribute to the sustainability credentials of these premium new homes near York.
Kitchen’s are custom designed by Nixons Project Exclusive and equipped with a range of high-end Neff appliances that offer smart connectivity via the Home Connect app; a Quooker fusion tap; island with waterfall edge; smooth painted shaker doors and contrasting high structure Feelwood slab décor on a brushed granite handleless rail system; a bespoke bar with wine cooler, LED lit splash back and bottle chiller; and ample flexibility for formal dining.
Bathrooms have been beautifully designed by Abacus and feature chic Villeroy and Boch sanitary ware, along with sleek Hansgrohe brassware, ensuring function is as impressive as form.

Fulford, North Yorkshire.
Urban Renaissance is located in a beautiful suburban setting on the eastern banks of the River Ouse, in the North Yorkshire village of Fulford.
Each property has been designed to provide unparalleled standards of luxury living, benefitting from the peace, privacy and tranquility of the suburbs, whilst remaining within easy reach of the City of York.
The parish of Fulford retains a strong community and village identity, whilst being close in proximity to the centre of York and this is particularly evident along the main York – Selby Road, which passes through the historical centre of the village.
Fulford Ings, the open land along the River Ouse, is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is managed by Natural England. The area is protected, which includes Fulford Village Green, owing to the many rare flora and fauna associated with this valuable riverside habitat. Fulford has a rich history, including being the site of the Battle of Fulford in 1066. Today, there are just over 3000 residents.
Fulford's Main Street is the A19. Near the intersection stands the York Designer Outlet shopping mall. A pedestrian Millennium Bridge with a cycle path was also opened in 2001, linking Fulford to the South Bank area of York on the other side of the river.
Fulford Golf Club, which celebrated its centenary in 2006, was home to the Benson and Hedges International Open between 1971 and 1989. During the 1981 tournament, Bernard Langer climbed 20 feet (6.1 m) up an ash tree by the 17th green to play his third shot.
