One North Property Ltd

What One North Property Ltd does

One North Property Ltd is a family-run, private residential property developer headquartered at Carr House Barns, Little Smeaton, Northallerton, North Yorkshire. The company acquires land with or without planning permission and develops small-scale, design-led rural housing in the villages and market towns of North Yorkshire and the North East of England. Its completed and in-flight portfolio includes new-build detached houses (Whorlton, Exelby, Cundall) and barn conversion/restoration projects (Little Smeaton, Northallerton), typically delivering 3-5 dwellings per site with 4-5 bedroom configurations, master en suites, open-plan kitchens, home offices, and quality fittings such as underfloor heating.

The business sells homes directly to individual end-buyers seeking quality rural properties in village or market-town settings, often in or near the Yorkshire Dales. Properties are marketed through the company website, LinkedIn, and Instagram, with sales conducted via direct contact (phone, email, web enquiry), and no third-party estate agent channel is used. Land sourcing is treated as an ongoing activity, with the company openly soliciting sites of 3-10 dwellings on 0.3-1.5 acres. Pricing is set on a per-project basis at completion and is not publicly disclosed.

Commercially, One North Property operates a one-off sales revenue model, recognising revenue on completion and sale of each dwelling. The company is privately held by its founders, George Howie (Managing Director, 18 years of property industry experience) and Kelly Howie (Co-Founder, finance and interiors background), with no disclosed external parent, institutional shareholders, or follow-on capital beyond a 2019 FW Capital facility of approximately £871k. Operating scale is small at 1-10 employees, with active development concentrated in single-figure housing units per site.
