Bovis Homes at Linby Meadows

Bovis Homes at Linby Meadows is a major new build homes development situated off Annesley Road in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire (NG15 8AZ), forming part of the extensive 763-home Top Wighay Sustainable Urban Development. The scheme, delivered by Vistry Group (under the Bovis Homes, Linden Homes, and Countryside Homes brands), is strategically located on the border of Hucknall and Linby, approximately 2km north of Hucknall town centre. The development launched in Spring 2025, with the first residential legal completions for the wider site anticipated from December 2025 and first residents expected in Spring 2026.

Development Overview

The Bovis Homes section of Linby Meadows will feature a collection of 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom detached and semi-detached new build homes, designed to meet modern family and commuter needs. The wider Top Wighay scheme includes a total of 763 mixed-tenure properties, including open-market homes, affordable housing, maisonettes, and apartments.

Property Details

All properties are designed to the latest building regulations, focusing heavily on energy efficiency. Standard features include water-saving measures in kitchens and bathrooms, and all homes come equipped with Electric Vehicle (EV) charge points and photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. A number of plots will also feature environmentally friendly air source heat pumps. The Home Builders Federation estimates that new Bovis homes are, on average, 64% cheaper to heat than an equivalent Victorian property.

Location and Connectivity

The development's key advantage is its direct access to Nottingham’s main transport infrastructure. Hucknall station offers excellent connectivity via both train and tram services. Direct train services from Hucknall to Nottingham city take approximately 20 minutes, while the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) tram journey to Old Market Square is around 28 minutes, with services running frequently. For road users, the site provides easy access to major regional routes, with the M1 motorway accessible via Junction 26. Local bus services, including the 141 and Hucknall Citylink services, also operate in the area.

Local Amenities and Services

As a sustainable urban development, Linby Meadows is planned to include significant on-site infrastructure, notably a new primary school, a local centre, and 20 acres of dedicated green space, which will incorporate a skate park and sports facilities. The established Hucknall town centre, a short distance away, offers amenities including supermarkets such as ALDI, a B&M Store, and Argos at the Ashgate Retail Park. Leisure facilities are available at the award-winning Hucknall Leisure Centre on Linby Road, and Titchfield Park offers a skate park and sports pitches.

Practical Information

As part of the large-scale Vistry Group, Bovis Homes is recognised by the HBF with a 5-star housebuilder rating. However, prospective buyers should conduct thorough due diligence, as reviews across various sites have indicated mixed feedback regarding build quality, customer service response times, and snagging resolution on past developments. Specific plot prices and availability for the Bovis Homes open market properties at Linby Meadows are available on application. Interested parties should contact the developer for the current price list, completion timescales for specific plots, and viewing arrangements for the show homes (to be confirmed).
