in three years as the Derbyshire housebuilder continues to expand its portfolio across the East Midlands.<\/p>\n<p>The BGF-backed developer has started construction at The Old Farmstead in Bulcote, where it will deliver 65 homes comprising 41 new-build properties and the conversion of a former Grade II listed farmhouse into 24 homes.<\/p>\n<p>The project will retain the historic character of the listed building while incorporating contemporary design, forming part of Woodall Homes&#8217; wider growth strategy as it increases housing delivery across the region.<\/p>\n<p>The latest development follows a period of rapid expansion for the business, which expects to deliver almost 200 homes across its active sites over the next two years.<\/p>\n<p>Once completed, the company&#8217;s developments launched since 2024 will total around 380 homes.<\/p>\n<p>Current schemes include Oakham Grange and Churchfields in Calow, Chesterfield, alongside the 161-home Appleton View development in Bolsover.<\/p>\n<p>David Wood, managing director of Woodall Homes, said: \u201cIn the last two years, we have laid down strong foundations that not only meet our own aims as a business, but wider Government aspirations to build 1.5 million new homes, unlocking critical infrastructure that will underpin economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud of the developments we have delivered to date and have every confidence that The Old Farmstead will prove to be equally as popular in what is a highly sought-after location on the outskirts of Nottingham.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2011, Woodall Homes has developed residential schemes across the East Midlands, with a focus on premium housing, sustainable construction and developments designed to complement their local surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>The company secured a \u00a34.25m investment from growth capital investor BGF in 2021, supporting its long-term expansion plans.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Baker, investor at BGF and board member of Woodall Group said: \u201cIt\u2019s been another hugely successful year for Woodall \u2013 one that is defined by high-quality, carefully designed homes that have become the hallmark of a housebuilder committed to bringing exciting developments to market such as The Old Farmstead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe combination of heritage and contemporary design and construction will make this site hugely appealing to buyers in and outside of the region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BGF-backed developer is continuing to grow its East Midlands footprint with a
