Homes in news development in one of the best places to live in UK going fast

A housing development in one of the best places to live in the UK is proving popular with buyers.

More than half of the homes at The Hamlet in Leigh Sinton, Worcestershire, have been snapped up less than a year after the site launched in November 2025.

The development, delivered by Worcester-based Lioncourt Homes, offers 52 two, three, four, and five-bedroom properties in a setting that combines rural charm with modern convenience.

Jack Jones, head of sales and marketing at Lioncourt Homes, said: “It only feels like yesterday that we were opening the doors to The Hamlet for the very first time, so to have passed the halfway sold milestone already is a fantastic achievement.

“As a business, it reinforces the strength of the homes that we offer, but also just how sought-after Leigh Sinton and the areas around the Malvern Hills are.

“Buyers are often telling us that they love the countryside setting and community feel.

“Being close to Worcester, Malvern and Ledbury means they don’t have to sacrifice on convenience.

“We’re proud of the homes we’re delivering at The Hamlet.

“It’s been a pleasure to see the first residents moving in and making the space their own.

“For those still thinking about a move, I’d suggest now is a great time to visit before the remaining properties are snapped up.”

The Malvern Hills were named the Midlands’ best place to live by the Sunday Times earlier this year, praised for their striking landscape and elegant towns and villages.

Lioncourt Homes has aimed to reflect this setting in the design and feel of The Hamlet, including a show home that draws inspiration from the surrounding countryside.

The first residents moved in during spring of this year.

Lioncourt Homes has maintained a five-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders’ Federation for 12 consecutive years.

The Hamlet includes a commitment of more than £350,000 in Section 106 funding to support the local community, including contributions to education, transport, healthcare, play areas, and green spaces.

Fifteen of the homes are being delivered through social rent or shared ownership schemes.

The combination of high-quality homes, natural beauty, and convenient transport links continues to drive strong demand for The Hamlet, with Lioncourt Homes encouraging interested buyers to visit before the remaining properties are sold.
