Homebuilder unveils first look at design-led new homes in Nottinghamshire

Spitfire Homes, an award-winning homebuilder based in the Midlands, has revealed the first images of a collection of new homes in the picturesque village of Radcliffe on Trent.

Named Sherbourne, the collection is set to include 280 design-led properties, offering between one and five bedrooms, with first occupations available from Spring 2025.

The first computer generated images (CGIs) of Sherbourne showcase Spitfire’s statement design, with external materials carefully selected to reflect the vernacular of the surrounding area. Each home is also designed with layouts to accommodate modern living requirements and finished with a sophisticated specification, creating a collection of future-proofed, quality homes.

Properties at Sherbourne are equipped with sustainable features and technologies throughout, helping to ensure each home meets the demands of modern life. These include energy-efficient air source heat pumps, underfloor heating, and electric vehicle charging points, all as standard.

The charming village of Radcliffe on Trent is surrounded by green spaces, a friendly community, and numerous independent shops, while being conveniently located close to Nottingham.

Matt Vincent, Operations Director at Spitfire Homes, said:

“We’re excited to share these initial CGIs of Sherbourne as they showcase our design-led approach and bring these homes to life, giving customers a flavour of what to expect. It’s a proud moment for many reasons and a lot of hard work has gone into getting to the point where we are able to offer these sustainable new homes to discerning customers. Our passion for creating stylish properties is applied to every element of a Spitfire home and we have really focused on selecting external materials that are inspired by the local area. Radcliffe on Trent has a leafy, community feel, so it was important to reflect that in our designs, ensuring we create a collection that customers are proud to call home.”

Properties at Sherbourne are being created by one of Spitfire’s award-winning Senior Site Managers, Tim O’Toole. Tim has won a coveted NHBC Pride in the Job award at both of his previous Spitfire Homes sites, reinforcing the experience, quality of build, and attention to detail he is bringing to these new homes.

Spitfire Homes has also appointed Radcliffe on Trent-based estate agent, Richard Watkinson & Partners, to oversee the sales process at Sherbourne, bringing a wealth of experience and local knowledge.

Amy Tillson, Director at Richard Watkinson & Partners, added:

“When we started back in 1988 we had just three staff members and a small office in North Gate, Newark. To this day, we remain a local, family-run business that puts our customers first, so we’re pleased to be working alongside a like-minded homebuilder with the outstanding reputation that Spitfire Homes has established. Our strong roots in the region will enable us to help a range of new customers find their dream home in this desirable location.”
