Specification
Our 14 stunning new homes have been carefully designed with the modern home-buyer in mind, while reflecting the character of the local area.
This is why every development starts with a blank sheet of paper. To make sure it blends in with and enhances the local surroundings. And each and every home is carefully created to complement its surroundings, inside and out. We will often work with local residents to make sure we are making a positive contribution. And of course we adhere to the highest environmental policies throughout the design and building phases.
We have been building new homes for over 20 years. In fact this year we will build over 3,000 homes across the country. But we don’t count our success in the number of homes we build. We continually track our customers’ satisfaction. This is how we know that 97% of Linden homeowners would recommend us to their friends. Of all of our awards and successes, this is our proudest achievement. And we won’t be content until we reach 100%.

Leisure facilities
Uncover a wealth of history and tradition in Knaresborough
For a location that ticks all the right boxes in terms of perfect positioning, a wealth of amenities at hand, and a feeling of community – look no further than Knaresborough.
The North Yorkshire market town has some deep historic roots, but is fast earning a reputation as a fantastic place to live – with its ideal location close to central towns and cities like York, Leeds and Harrogate which is just four miles away.
You will find history at every turn in Knaresborough, from the wonderful Knaresborough Castle – which towers over the River Nidd – to the curious Mother Shipton’s Cave, believed to be England’s oldest tourist attraction.
Knaresborough also boasts the oldest chemist shop in England, located in the picturesque market square, and the spectacle of the annual Great Knaresborough Bed Race – a riotous jumble of specially constructed ‘beds’ zipping through the cobbled lanes - sees thousands of spectators turning out to support charities and good causes each summer.
Continuing to build on the Linden Homes reputation, our Jacob Smith Gardens development will offer a lifestyle to suit the pace of your busy working and family life – whether a stroll around the ancient walkways and cobbled alleys, or a day’s shopping in nearby Harrogate, York or Leeds.
Local shopping
For those who want to throw themselves into local life, Wednesday is market day in the town’s picturesque Market Square – offering a great opportunity to mix with the community.
A number of shopping meccas are within easy reach by road or rail, and for those who want to get away from it all. Why not take a drive to the Yorkshire Dales for a complete change of pace and scenery? – just 25 miles away.
