Hereward Homes

About us

Hereward Homes is an award winning Rutland-based developer with a reputation for producing distinctive, high quality homes in historic town and rural locations. Our architects and designers bring together traditional and contemporary styling to create living spaces which are perfect for modern family life.

For over 20 years we have designed and built distinctive new houses and breathed new life into existing buildings, such as neglected barns and agricultural buildings. Since 2001 we have created an impressive portfolio comprising over 30 stunning new developments across five of the UK’s most beautiful counties. Each development features unique house designs and layouts which are created specifically for their individual location. Over many years we have forged an excellent working relationship with local planning bodies who share our vision to create high quality new developments.

Our team ensures that each property is designed and constructed with an unrivalled attention to detail. A prime example of this dedication to building excellence, is the great care taken over the quality of the finish and the choice of building materials – most of which are inspired by their setting.

Our Service

We are different to mass market developers in that our directors and management team are involved in the process from day one onwards. And that all starts with selecting the right location. We then work with landowners and local planners to create vibrant new communities which enhance and blend in with their surroundings. Once we have found the right location, our team has the experience and vision to create award winning developments that will give purchasers a lifetime of pleasure.

From the planning process, to the work of skilled craftspeople from different trades, each step is continually monitored to ensure that the end product is delivered to the highest standards. We also go that extra bit further to ensure that buying a new home is a pleasurable experience as our service doesn’t stop once we have presented new purchasers with their keys, a member of our team will visit to ensure everything is to the buyer’s satisfaction.

To enable home owners to benefit from lower bills, all houses are designed to be energy efficient, meeting or exceeding the latest Building Regulations. Where houses are purchased off plan we may be able to offer a choice of kitchen and wall/floor tiles finishes. Our homes are also pre-prepared for new homeowners to install their own broadband, TV services with their suppliers.

Why choose Hereward Homes?

Once we have handed over the keys, our Site Manager will guide you around your new home and familiarise you with its features, even down to explaining how the heating works. On completion, we issue all new homeowners with a comprehensive guide containing details on appliances, heating, product guarantees and operating instructions. Once new homeowners have moved in we will provide a personal point of contact for any queries they may have.
