Countryside Homes at Linby Meadows

Development Overview

Countryside Homes at Linby Meadows is a significant new build property development by the highly-rated, 5-star Home Builders Federation (HBF) developer, Countryside Homes. This project is a key component of the wider 763-home Top Wighay sustainable urban extension, strategically located on Annesley Road in the market town of Hucknall, Nottinghamshire (NG15 8AZ). Countryside Homes, part of the Vistry Group, is known for its focus on sustainability and high build specification, offering a mix of energy-efficient housing types.

The development comprises a collection of 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, alongside 2, 3, and 4-bedroom new build homes. The wider Linby Meadows scheme, which also features homes from the Bovis Homes brand, will include up to 5-bedroom detached and semi-detached properties, ensuring a diverse offering for a range of buyers. The overall development prioritises a balanced lifestyle, incorporating approximately 20 acres of dedicated green space, a new primary school, a skate park, and sports facilities, all delivered as part of the new infrastructure.

Property Details

Homes at Linby Meadows are designed and constructed to meet the latest building regulations and energy efficiency standards. New build homes from Countryside offer significant practical benefits, with data from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) indicating new homes are, on average, 64% cheaper to heat than equivalent Victorian properties, potentially saving residents up to £907 annually on heating bills. Specific eco-features include the installation of EV charge points and photovoltaic (PV) panels as standard on new homes, with some house types also featuring air source heat pumps.

Individual homes offer a high standard of specification throughout, typically including contemporary fitted kitchens and integrated water-saving measures. Specific floorplans, interior layouts, and included specifications for each house type are available upon direct enquiry.
