Quality Living, Locally Built

Individual Homes, Thoughtfully Planned

 

The Orchards has been designed as a varied neighbourhood rather than a collection of repeated house types. Its private-sale homes range from two-bedroom semi-detached properties to substantial four and five-bedroom detached homes, with individual layouts responding to different lifestyles and household needs.

 

Across the collection, clearly defined living spaces sit alongside practical features such as ground-floor cloakrooms, utility rooms, built-in storage and principal bedrooms with en suites. Selected homes also include dedicated studies, additional family rooms and single or double garages.

 

Private gardens provide space to relax, dine outside or spend time together, while plot-specific parking arrangements support the practical demands of everyday life. Energy-efficient features, including air source heat pumps, form part of the home designs, with property-specific Predicted Energy Assessments available for individual homes.

A Heritage Setting with a Distinctive Future

 

The Orchards Greylees forms the final major phase of new homes within the former Rauceby Hospital Central Core at Greylees. Set within a unique heritage setting, the development has been designed to respect the area’s history while creating a welcoming neighbourhood for future generations.

 

The original orchard will be retained as part of the public open space, helping to preserve an important feature of the site’s landscape character. Together with green spaces, walking routes and a strong sense of community, The Orchards offers a distinctive place to call home.
