The Lodge @ Sketchley Park

Development Overview

The Lodge @ Sketchley Park is an exclusive collection of new build homes by Charles Church, the premium brand of Persimmon plc. Located on Sketchley Lane in the sought-after village of Burbage, Leicestershire (LE10 3HU), the development borders the Leicestershire countryside while maintaining seamless connection to major Midlands transport routes.

This development comprises a range of energy-efficient two- to five-bedroom contemporary family homes. Available properties currently focus on larger detached house types, with specific examples including the five-bedroom ‘The Yellowood’ priced at £989,950, and the four-bedroom ‘The Hastings’ at £529,995. The overall price range for the development is currently stated to be from £399,995 to £989,950. While Charles Church operates under the Persimmon Group, the company maintains a 5-star HBF rating for customer satisfaction, although prospective buyers should be aware of public comments regarding reported snagging issues on some previous developments, and should conduct thorough pre-completion inspections.
