We buy land, win planning and build the homes.
Eight schemes on the books: three on site, three in planning and two just sold. Each one numbered, drawn and built by us.

How we build
01
Land
We buy sites ourselves, usually from families who have farmed them for generations.
02
Planning
We draw every scheme in house and take it through planning with the town, not around it.
03
Build
Our own site teams lay the brick. We use local clay and local trades.
04
Hand over
We walk every new owner round their home and stay on call for ten years.
