History of the site

Loxwood Fields sits within a rural setting, shaped by the surrounding countryside and existing settlement pattern of Alfold. The land formed part of the Springbok Estate, owned by Care Ashore, a long established charitable organisation supporting retired merchant seamen.

The charity wanted a partner capable of navigating both the planning system and the regulatory requirements of the Charity Commission. The objective was to protect their long-term financial sustainability.

Planned & designed with context in mind

Loxwood Fields was designed to deliver affordable housing efficiently, without compromising on build quality or long-term performance.

Working closely with Abri Group, the scheme brings together funding, delivery expertise and a shared vision for creating sustainable communities. This collaboration ensured that all 99 homes could be delivered as affordable housing, widening access to homes for local people.

The layout balances practical delivery with a considered approach to streets, public space and relationships between homes.

Quality
4 / 4

Every development we build – and every piece of strategic land we own – reflects our commitment to quality and attention to detail.​ Nothing is overlooked. Everything is carefully considered.

A neighbourhood shaped by partnership & purpose

A busy construction site with multiple buildings in various stages of development. A large crane in the center lifts materials to a structure wrapped in yellow scaffolding. Several construction workers, dressed in high-visibility gear and helmets, are dispersed across the site, engaged in various tasks. Heavy machinery and construction vehicles, including excavators and cement mixers, are positioned around the dirt-covered ground, which has patches of green grass.

Design that supports efficient delivery

Loxwood Fields demonstrates how innovation can improve both build quality and programme certainty.

The use of modern construction methods, including crane-assisted roof installation, allowed homes to be built more efficiently while maintaining consistency across the development. This approach tested new techniques that can inform future projects across the business.

Layouts that support modern living

The homes are designed to be simple, practical and adaptable. Externally, they are designed using our standard house types. Internally, the layouts and specification were designed by Abri.

A mix of one to four bedroom properties ensures the development can support a range of households, from individuals and first-time buyers to growing families. Internal layouts are designed around day-to-day use, with a focus on usability and long-term flexibility.

The sign shows a family image and includes text stating ‘50% SOLD’ along with contact details and logos for Thakeham, Seymours, and Homes England. Behind the sign is a quiet residential street with houses and trees under a bright blue sky.

Affordable homes delivered at scale

All homes at Loxwood Fields are affordable, made possible through a combination of Abri’s investment and grant funding secured through Homes England.

This allowed the scheme to go beyond a policy-compliant level of affordable housing, delivering a fully affordable development that directly responds to local need. The mix of tenures ensures a broader range of people can access housing in the area.

Supporting biodiversity

Measures to support wildlife are integrated across the development.

Bird boxes, bat boxes and insect habitats have been installed to create opportunities for wildlife and contribute to biodiversity across the site. These features help establish new ecological corridors and encourage habitats to develop over time.

Building recognition through quality

The scheme has been recognised through multiple LABC Bricks awards, highlighting both build quality and site management.

This included being highly commended in the Social Housing Development of the Year (over 51 units) category in the South, reflecting the standard achieved across the development.

Three people wearing high-visibility vests and hard hats—one with 'Abri' on the back—stand in a newly finished kitchen, reviewing documents as part of an inspection or handover process. The setting features white cabinetry, a clean countertop, and a window providing natural light, evoking a sense of completion and readiness.

A shared vision for community delivery

Loxwood Fields is one of several projects delivered in partnership with Abri Group.

This growing portfolio also includes Woodgate in Pease Pottage, Manorwood in West Horsley and land west of the Causeway in Petersfield. Together, these schemes show how long-term partnerships can support the delivery of sustainable communities at scale.

About us

We are an independent housebuilder operating across the South of England. We build and sell homes by planning each place properly from the start. That means designing homes, streets and green spaces together, understanding existing infrastructure, determining what is needed to support growth and delivering homes that fit their setting. We focus on quality, usability and long-term value.

We deliver differently because we start in a different place. We shape the layout before designing individual homes. We assess infrastructure needs early and plan for mixed communities from the outset. This is a delivery model, not a slogan.

Designed for life, built for the future: Our homeowners' stories

A couple standing together on a residential street in front of a newly built brick house on a bright day.

"Welborne has been on our radar for years, and we could not wait to be part of something so special. Being the first residents here feels like a privilege. We are excited to see the community grow and to play a part in shaping it."

A person stands at the entrance of a modern red-brick house with rooftop solar panels. The front yard features neatly trimmed grass and small plants, suggesting a well-maintained suburban setting. Similar homes appear in the background, reinforcing a community focused on eco-conscious living.

"Even the solar panels clean themselves when it rains. No matter what happens with energy prices, we know what to expect."

"It’s not just a development, rather a community. For us, it gave us everything we were looking for and more. It has a heart and a soul, which we didn't expect and we loved finding."

Two people stand outside a brick house with white-framed windows and blinds. The person on the left wears a navy blue t-shirt with an orange graphic and blue jeans, with their arm around the person on the right, who wears a white lace top and patterned trousers. Behind them, an open door reveals a hallway and a glimpse of a garden, suggesting a warm, welcoming moment.

There’s a nature reserve just across the road, while we can walk just about everywhere, including to the town centre. We want to walk more to keep active, and living here means we hardly need to use our cars anymore."

“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.”

Richard and Sue stand outside their new home in Newick. The house is clad in a light grey cladding.

“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.”

Jon and Sarah stand outside their new build home at Manorwood in Surrey. A light brown front door and bricks are visible behind thm.

"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

A couple stand smiling outside a modern semi-detached home with a mix of white siding and brickwork. The front door displays the number 9, and a potted plant rests near the entrance. A white car is parked in the driveway, adding to the impression of a tidy, welcoming residential setting.

"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

Three people sit closely together on outdoor steps in front of a red brick wall and white door. The person on the left wears a blue-and-white patterned blouse with jeans, the center figure wears a pink dress layered over a floral shirt, and the person on the right wears a green T-shirt with dark trousers and a watch. Their relaxed posture and proximity suggest a familial or friendly bond.

"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!”
