Spitfire begins build of 280 Nottinghamshire homes

July 23, 2024

Midlands-based homebuilder Spitfire Homes has commenced work on the construction of 280 design-led new properties in Radcliffe-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire.

Showcasing Spitfire’s award-winning approach to design, the collection will include a range of detached, semi-detached and terraced properties ranging from one- to five-bedrooms.

The delivery of new properties also includes community contributions totalling over £2 million, including a commitment of nearly £450,000 intended for local highway infrastructure and public transport improvements. Over £870,000 is also set to go towards enhancing and expanding Radcliffe-on-Trent Infant and Nursery, and Radcliffe-on-Trent Junior School, so they can offer more places to local children.

Matt Vincent, Operations Director at Spitfire Homes, said:

“We are excited to have started on site at this new location, with Radcliffe-on-Trent marking Spitfire’s debut collection of homes in Nottinghamshire. We are committed to meeting the continued demand in the market for high-quality, design-led homes and strengthening our pipeline following a portfolio of successful schemes in Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and the Cotswolds.

“Radcliffe represents an opportunity to showcase Spitfire as a forward-thinking homebuilder that creates vibrant and diverse communities. Now that we have officially broken ground on site, we’ll be supporting the employment of over 850 people and investing over £2 million into the local community including contributions towards education and transport infrastructure.

“The first homes are due to be made available this autumn, with first occupations expected from Spring 2025, so we invite prospective buyers to register their interest now for exclusive updates and information.”

Each property will compliment the local vernacular of the surrounding area, presenting a mix of multi-tonal red and orange brickwork, and chalk white render, to create a range of varied streetscenes. Leading the team on site is award-winning Senior Site Manager, Tim O’Toole, who has been recognised at the NHBC Pride in the Job Awards for his previous two developments for Spitfire.

Tim added:

“Everybody on site is dedicated to ensuring these homes deliver to the high standards associated with owning a Spitfire home. I am excited to be involved in creating a new community in Radcliffe-on-Trent and deliver properties that our customers will proudly call home, from first-time buyers to downsizers and everything in between.”

Radcliffe-on-Trent is a highly sought-after area due to its semi-rural position, benefitting from a wealth of amenities and its close proximity to the centre of Nottingham, Newark-on-Trent, Loughborough and Derby. The site is also connected by excellent transport links, including the A46, M1 and rail services from Nottingham.
