Farmyard site to be turned into residential scheme

A former farmyard in the Nottinghamshire village of Thoroton, between Nottingham and Grantham, has been sold to Wheatcroft Land in a deal brokered by Mather Jamie.

The deal marks the start of the development of the site which will provide eight new homes.

Catherine Haward, director and owner of Wheatcroft Land, said: “We’re really excited about bringing this development of eight luxury new builds to life over the next year. As a former farmyard, the homes will be in the style of farm buildings and barns, creating a community that’s full of character.

“We pride ourselves on developing individual homes that are unique to each location, making them distinctive and offering something different to other new builds on the market. The properties at Thoroton will feature luxury bathrooms and dressing rooms, en-suites and open plan family rooms that have bi-fold doors leading to private gardens – all ideal for growing families looking to settle in their dream home.”

Gary Kirk, associate director of Mather Jamie, said: “Thoroton Farm represents an excellent opportunity to build desirable new homes on a site which opens out onto open countryside, hence it is likely to be popular with professionals looking to commute to Nottingham, Leicester or Grantham.”
