Holton Croft, Holton-le-Clay

Development Overview

Holton Croft is a new build residential development by Gleeson Homes, located on Louth Road in the commuter village of Holton-le-Clay, Grimsby, Lincolnshire (DN36 5AF). The scheme is designed to deliver a total of 232 affordable, low-cost homes on a 17-acre site, appealing primarily to first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers in the local area. The development is committed to providing 30% affordable homes and includes financial contributions of over £250,000 towards local highways and NHS services. Show homes are anticipated to launch in November 2023, with initial resident move-ins expected around the same time. Full construction is scheduled to continue until January 2030.

Property Details

Holton Croft features a range of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom new build properties, including a mix of semi-detached and detached houses, as well as two-bedroom bungalows and one-bedroom apartments. The design utilises Gleeson’s 'urban 2021 elevations,' which are characterised by on-trend black windows and doors.

Specific house types available or coming soon include the three-bedroom semi-detached Magrath and Keady models, three-bedroom detached homes such as the Renmore, Brandon, and Calry, and the four-bedroom detached Longford and Carlow. For downsizers, the Moy is a two-bedroom detached bungalow option. All listed three and four-bedroom house types include two bathrooms. The development site plan incorporates green open spaces and a dedicated play area for children. As a developer focused on affordability, Gleeson Homes offers competitively priced properties; however, prospective buyers should note that some previous customer feedback has cited mixed experiences regarding post-sale service and snags. Gleeson is rated 3.64 out of 5.00 on a prominent review platform.
