First phase of ‘incredible’ Lincolnshire development

The first phase of a 93-home development in Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire, is now complete, with local developer Homes by Stirlin hailing homebuyer response as ‘incredible.’ 

Woodbank in Skellingthorpe will eventually deliver a mix of premium two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes in a location that offers a blend of rural tranquillity and modern convenience.

Just two homes remain for sale in this initial phase, underscoring the strong demand for high-quality housing in this sought-after village location.

Abigail Kirby, Operations Director at Homes by Stirlin, said:
“The response from buyers has been incredible. We now only have two homes remaining for sale in this first phase and the first resident of one of the sold homes has already moved in.

“With the new owners praising the build quality, premium finish and peaceful location, we’re excited to release details on the next phase very soon.”

Each home at Woodbank has been designed with comfort, efficiency and modern living in mind. Premium features include high-spec kitchens complete with integrated Siemens appliances, generous room sizes, quality carpets and flooring and thoughtful layouts – all of which elevate these homes above typical new-build properties in the area.

Keen to respect the local environment and mindful of rising energy prices, the developer has also fitted all homes with EV chargers, air source heat pumps and underfloor heating to the ground floor.

Abigail added: “Nestled near scenic woodland walks, Woodbank offers the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience, with excellent local amenities and easy access to the city centre. This is a stunning location, and we have been mindful to maintain that beauty. In fact, the name Woodbank was chosen as an ode to the beautiful natural surroundings that define this part of Skellingthorpe.”

The development is bordered by rich greenery, wildlife, several established woodland areas and scenic walking routes, including the historic Old Wood, one of the village’s most cherished natural features.

The development’s name, Woodbank, reflects the character of the location and conveys the sense of tranquillity the site will offer its residents. While countryside in feel, Skellingthorpe village also benefits from strong local amenities including shops, a public house, a Co-op, a community hall and a well-regarded primary school. The village also sits on a Sustrans cycle route that runs directly to Lincoln city centre.

Kerri Bywater, of selling agent William H Brown, said:
“The development has attracted a mix of buyers, from families to downsizers, all of whom have commented on the premium specification and generous space within the homes.

“The development is also proving popular with those who enjoy the abundance of outdoor space nearby, walking dogs and riding bikes along the Sustrans cycle track that leads to Doddington Hall and Lincoln city centre.”

Just two homes remain for sale in the first phase of the build: a four-bedroom Coleby and a four-bedroom Aubourn.

An Aubourn show home is now open to view. This impressive four-bedroom detached property has been beautifully staged to showcase the quality and premium finishes for which Homes by Stirlin is renowned.

Abigail said: “With our team at Stirlin Construction serving as the main contractor, we are proud to have delivered a collection of beautifully designed, high-quality homes that blend modern living with the charm of the surrounding countryside.

“Bringing more stunning homes to this sought-after location and continuing to create a welcoming, vibrant community for families, professionals and first-time buyers alike will be an absolute pleasure.”

Lincolnshire-based Homes by Stirlin says it will be releasing details of the new phase shortly, with prices expected to start from £260,000.
