New Developments

‘The Croft’ is an exclusive community development which has been designed for people aged 55 and over that is situated within the heart of Bourne, a historic Lincolnshire market town.

As a resident of the Croft you can benefit from the independence and security of property ownership without the day-to-day concerns of its external upkeep and maintenance. We can also offer you assistance with selling your existing property and buying your new home so you can look forward to moving in and living in a community of like-minded people.

The development consists of 68 one and two-bedroom bungalows with three-bedroom chalet bungalows also available on this truly exceptional site. The unique selection of property options is arranged around attractively landscaped courtyards and has an ‘arts and crafts’ themed design that fits with the south Lincolnshire vernacular. Each home has a choice of design and finish options to let residents add that ‘personal touch’.

The focal point of the site is a former manor house that was built by a wealthy local businessman which will be restored, but retain the impressive driveway and original features such as cast iron lighting columns. It will also provide a base for the scheme manager and grounds maintenance service.

A residents' lounge, kitchen, meeting room, library and a guest suite for visitors are just some of the things this exclusive development has to offer.

With the external maintenance and upkeep of each property taken care of, residents will be able to relax in the communal facilities of the restored manor or venture outside of The Croft to take advantage of the many excellent facilities in the area.

The central location in Bourne will give residents easy access to many local amenities including a supermarket, a doctors’ surgery and a bus stop which are only a short walk away, as are many shops and restaurants.

Our development partner, the Larkfleet Group, is also based in Bourne with an enviable reputation for high quality and customer service.

With such a broad appeal, it is no surprise that since the start on site in April 2011, there have been 17 plot reservations as future residents secure their plot early. The entire scheme is set for completion in September 2013 and is being built in four phases. The first phase will be completed in June / July 2012 including the renovation of the manor house and its communal facilities. All properties at The Croft will be managed by local housing provider L&H Homes, also a member of the Longhurst Group.

The sales suite at the entrance of the site is now up and running. Open 7 days a week, the sales office is located in a show home replicating one of the two bedroom houses for sale which prospective customers can visit. A second show home will be constructed in the near future.
