Lanswood aim to work in a close partnership with enthusiastic clients, skilled craftspeople, approving authorities and other consultants to produce the highest standards of design informed by the principles of sustainability.
Lanswood is renowned for creating award winning homes that exceed expectations on every level. Our developments are all very different, ranging from traditional family homes in the countryside to commercial office space. We are committed to creating quality homes, commercial spaces and facilities for local communities, breathing life into towns and cities across the UK.
Elmstead Market, Essex
A beautifully planned collection of high-quality 2, 3 & 4 bedroom homes in the award-winning village of Elmstead Market, Essex. Combines traditional and contemporary styles to create a well presented collection of homes tailored for those looking for a relaxed, village-style setting to call home.
Lanswood Ltd started constructing Lanswoodpark Business Centre in 2011. The park now sees 400+ people on site a day. In 2020, Lanswood submitted a planning application to expand the park, creating an additional 10,000sqft of commercial office space and 72 residential units.
Ipswich
A collection of luxury homes nestled in a tranquil neighbourhood in the suburbs of Ipswich. This characterful locally listed building was once a striking Victorian hospital. Restored to its former glory, Belgrove Place retains its heritage elements including high ceilings and period features.
Elmstead Market
In collaboration with Market Fields Grows and their partners, Lanswood hopes to promote training and employment for people with special educational needs (SEN) for those who are 16 and over. As well as bringing more homes to Elmstead Market, we hope to build a library, plant nursery (with our partners Beth Chatto Gardens), bakery, cafe and catering facilities, retail space, as well as community and event space.
Lanswood hopes to transform the Feering Triangle, a section of land bound to the north by London Road (B1024) and to the east by the A12 Trunk Road, into commercial space - supporting office, industrial and warehouse or distribution forms.
Colchester
As of December 2024, Lanswood became the new owners of Lexden Wood in Colchester, opening an exciting new chapter for both our company and the club. Set in the Essex countryside, the 18-hole parkland course blends natural beauty with a rewarding challenge for golfers of all abilities. Since taking ownership, Lanswood has already made significant improvements to the course, facilities, and clubhouse, enhancing the experience for both members and visitors.
Ipswich
Lanswood acquired this five storey property in the heart of Ipswich in 2015 with the intention of converting from office usage to high quality apartments. The conversion process was completed in stages with the first two floors finished by early 2016. In just over 18 months after purchase, Lanswood have converted and sold all 32 flats across the 4 floors. Princes View Penthouses are the most recent addition to the development.
North Kelvedon
Lanswood are working with the national company - Parker Strategic Land - putting forward a proposal for 5000 houses and 200,000sqft of commercial space. Lanswood hopes to bring their knowledge and experience within the Essex commercial office sector, to create a master plan for the Kings Dene North Kelvedon Vision.
Hythe, Colchester
Lanswood is currently renovating a former office building in Hythe, Colchester, into a collection of 24 modern flats. This commercial-to-residential project will provide a variety of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. The development reflects our commitment to revitalising unused spaces and creating homes that meet the needs of the local community.
