Together, we make a home
When designing a new development, we apply the same philosophy every time – make it unique, make it personal. From design and planning, right through to adding the final Finishing Touches to your new home, we keep your needs in mind, ensuring we create homes to suit all lifestyles.
From the moment you reserve your new Persimmon home, we do our best to make the experience enjoyable and informative every step of the way, not just while you’re buying, but after you’ve moved in too. Read more about our comprehensive pre-move and after-sales pledge to our customers.

Each home is constructed with care by a dedicated team; from the technicians behind the scenes in the office; the skilled craftsmen on-site; to our professional sales and customer service teams - everyone working together to deliver the highest standards of design, construction, and service.
