Hornby Walk
EAST END, WALKINGTON, HU17 8RX
Our latest development of 20 luxury homes in the East Yorkshire village of Walkington is called Hornby Walk, named after local resident John Hornby, who took on the influential Fawsitt family name in the 19th century to keep the name and legacy alive (the local pub still bears this name).

From expansive detached homes to versatile new designs tailored for modern family life, every home is built with quality and character.

Whole purchase process went incredibly smoothly.
We have now been in our house a few weeks and are pleased to say this excellent service has continued with Iain ensuring that any little niggles (and they are only little niggles, as the quality of the build is exceptional) are dealt with quickly. Tradesmen are quickly sent to professionally deal with any minor issues and again each one of them has been very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them.
We are so pleased with our new home and the quality of all the work. Looking forward to spending many happy years here.
I cannot recommend Risby Homes highly enough
From start to finish, my experience of purchasing a new home with Risby Homes has been nothing short of exceptional. The quality and attention to detail in the build are second to none — it’s clear that Risby Homes truly cares about craftsmanship and creating homes people are proud to live in.
What made the whole process even more enjoyable was the incredible support I received from Amanda Meadows. Amanda went above and beyond at every stage — from the very first viewing to the final handover. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm was perfectly executed. Her calm demeanour, patience and regular check-ins reassured me throughout the entire journey.
Buying a home can often be stressful, but thanks to Amanda’s guidance and Risby Homes’ exceptional standards, it was an absolute pleasure.
I’d also like to thank Jemima for her efficiency, site manager Ian for his patience during the home demonstration and groundworker Geoff for his practical no-nonsense approach.
If you’re looking for a new build that feels extra special, combining quality, integrity, and outstanding customer service, choose Risby Homes!
As for any new build and one of the first on the development, you may encounter delays. The correspondence we received from Jemima with updates and visual pictures reassured any stresses we had. Jemima was just wonderful to speak with, friendly and transparent- which is all you can ask for.
From selecting flooring, to designing our dream kitchen, we have been supported all the way. Thank you to Risby’s chosen suppliers, East Yorkshire Carpets for our gorgeous herringbone flooring, and to the guys at BMS Kitchens that outdid themselves with helping to design and then fit our incredible kitchen.
We could not be happier with the quality, high standard, high spec and overall result. Our home really is a dream home! We are even more impressed with the care and excellent personal service from Risby Homes, you don’t feel like a number, the family owned company definitely makes the buyer feel valued. Thank you again to Olly, Mark, Paul and all the team.
There building team clearly take pride in there work and this can be seen in the quality of their homes produced. Plus all the custom designs you can make to your property during the build to really make it your own.
Would recommend them to anyone.

I have no plans on moving, but if I ever do, I’ll be looking at where Risby are building!
