You can feel the build quality in our new homes. They have generous gardens, spacious interiors and extensive public green space.
Each of our communities has a unique character and style. We take design inspiration from the villages that already exist – places that have stood the test of time.
Making a positive impact starts at home. Our sustainable design philosophy runs through every aspect of our new homes.
We care about what’s best for the people living in the communities we create from day one: schools, green spaces, and community hubs.
Designing the differencefor your perfect new home
We begin with the development layout in mind. We build at a lower property density than most competitors, with wider streets and paved ways that optimise privacy and open spaces.
A high ratio of green space and natural habitat optimise our layouts. This prevents you from feeling cramped or overlooked.
Our homes are built with the finest quality, responsibly sourced sustainable materials. We often include traditional techniques and materials such as heritage roof tiles and porches.
Building the differencewith trusted builders
Our quality and build excellence stems from working with trusted builders and material suppliers. This ensures consistency and perfection in everything we do.
We work with skilled builders and craftspeople who are experts in using techniques and materials not found in most new homes. This offers you a superior home to enjoy for many years to come.
From first impressions tofinished finer details
Finishing touches truly make the difference between good and great. After all, you’ll spend many happy years noticing every detail of your new home. We want you to share in the joy and pride we feel in the thoughtful details that make your new home special.
Our passion for detail and getting everything exactly right knows no bounds. We want you to choose your new home with both head and heart, feeling the Thakeham difference from day one.
Making apositive impactstarts at home
Our sustainable design philosophy runs through every aspect of our new homes. We work with the existing natural environment to create places for people and wildlife.

Designed for life, built for the future:Our homeowners' stories
"Even the solar panels clean themselves when it rains. No matter what happens with energy prices, we know what to expect."
Steve & Sarah
Templegate Zero Bills residents
“We initially looked at other period properties, but we felt a newbuild home would be right for us. We didn’t want the hassle of all the general maintenance of an older house, such as old boilers, changing electrics and sash windows. A new build gave us a clean slate.”
Richard & Sue
Berry Croft residents
“I’m a people person, and Woodgate has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I remember the first time I came here. I came for a coffee with a friend and we sat in the café overlooking the big village green. I thought to myself that I’d like to live here.”
Jenny
Woodgate resident
"We lived there for thirty-four years and raised our three children in that home, but it was creaking at the seams! We didn’t feel we could leave the house for any length of time without fear of something going wrong, such as a pipe bursting or the roof leaking. We chose a new build home for peace of mind."
Jonathan & Sara
Manorwood residents
"After sending a friend to check it out for us, we were mesmerised. He called us from his car and said, ‘You need to live here, I’ve never seen a place like this."
Jai & Norbi
Woodgate residents
"I love the design, the layout, the wide roads with the houses nicely set back. It’s spread out and already has a nice community feel. With the park next door and a new Village Green, this is our long-term, hopefully forever home. And that was all before we stepped inside!”
