Creating distinctive new village homes.

For many of the people we meet, finding the right home is about far more than finding the right number of bedrooms. 

Across Worcestershire, Warwickshire and the Cotswolds, we continue to see buyers searching for something increasingly specific: a beautifully designed new home with the character and presence of a country property, without compromising on the comfort, efficiency and ease of modern living.

It is exactly this balance that we set out to create at Lockley Homes.


A growing appetite for exceptional village homes

This summer has given us another indication of the demand for thoughtfully designed luxury homes in Worcestershire.

Our homes at Kings Ridge are now fully committed, while at Cherry Lane Gardens in Eckington, four of the six homes have already secured buyers.

For us, that interest reinforces something we have believed for a long time. The very best new developments should feel as though they belong to their surroundings.

We deliberately seek out exceptional locations and favour considered, smaller developments where architecture, landscaping and the character of the setting can be given the attention they deserve.

Cherry Lane Gardens is a perfect example. Set within the Worcestershire village of Eckington, with the countryside and Bredon Hill forming part of its wider setting, it represents the kind of place many of our buyers are searching for: village life, beautiful surroundings and a home designed for the way they want to live today.


What makes a Lockley home different?

As a luxury housebuilder in Worcestershire, Warwickshire and the Cotswolds, our approach has never been to simply build more homes.

We want to build better ones.

Across almost 20 developments, we have developed a very clear idea of what a Lockley home should represent: timeless architecture, authentic detailing, intelligent layouts, beautiful materials and a level of specification that feels considered from the outset.

We combine the character and proportions associated with traditional English homes with contemporary interiors, modern technology and spaces that work effortlessly for everyday life.

It means thinking about the details that are sometimes overlooked. How you arrive at the house. How natural light moves through a room. Where coats, boots and everyday belongings actually live. How the kitchen connects with the garden. The materials you touch every day and the view you see from a favourite window.

True luxury, to us, is not about adding things for the sake of specification. It is about creating a home that has been properly thought through.


Creating homes people want to keep

We are incredibly selective about where we build because location will always be an essential part of a Lockley home.

From Worcestershire and Warwickshire to the edge of the Cotswolds, we look for places with a genuine sense of identity, established villages, attractive countryside and settings where carefully considered new homes can add something positive.

The response to Kings Ridge and Cherry Lane Gardens tells us that buyers recognise that approach too.

And as we look towards our next developments, our ambition remains the same: to create individual, beautifully designed homes in exceptional locations, delivered with the craftsmanship, attention to detail and personal service that have come to define Lockley Homes.

Some of our homes are secured long before a development is complete, so if you are searching for a luxury new home in Worcestershire, Warwickshire or the Cotswolds, we would encourage you to speak to us early.
