David's Court

Holdingham, Sleaford

Working in partnership with Lafford Homes, David's Court is a £1.1 million  investment by NKDC to develop six new three bedroom homes built to a very high standard and with energy efficiency at the forefront which can be seen all six benefitting from solar panels to reduce their carbon footprint and the cost to run for the people living in them.

“These six properties are the latest in our work to unlock more housing choice in North Kesteven, by not only delivering the homes needed but also ensuring they raise the bar by providing a great standard of living.


We were pleased to mark the completion of these new homes together with the team from D Hatcher and Sons, and view the hard work that has gone into building them."
Phil Roberts

Director, Lafford Homes


“David’s Court was our first multi-unit development and our first chance to work with Lafford Homes. As with all projects it had its challenges, especially below ground, however these were overcome with teamwork within our organisation.


Lafford Homes very kindly let us name the development after our late father David Hatcher. David was instrumental in how Holdingham looks today. Father took a gamble on buying the land behind McDonalds and got planning for 90 houses for a housing association, and this was key to opening the gateway to that part of Holdingham.


He was also involved together with partners in buying the land and getting planning for the large Persimmon development that is currently ongoing at Holdingham. It is fitting then that our development is next to the gateway he opened and a lasting tribute.”

Extra care has been put into the quality of the homes. All six benefit from solar panels and they also have larch cladding and double battened roofs on their exterior, and this attention to detail carries on inside too. The kitchens are bright and airy, with built-in appliances provided, while the main bathrooms have full-height tiling around the bath and shower.


There is a focus on light inside and on ample storage to ensure the homes are comfortable to live in and meet people’s needs. Other homely touches include curtain rails pre-installed for the tenants and household waste bins already delivered ready for use.


As of now, the homes are all let and signed up to be let. Two of the new tenants showed interest in the properties at the start of construction. They have been waiting for the homes to be built and are now in the process of moving in.


We worked in partnership with Lafford Homes to create an opportunity to construct the properties at David’s Court on the parcel of land, off Lincoln Road. While completing the handover it was decided the street should be named in memory of the previous owner of tD Hatcher & Sons; David Hatcher.
