A village-edge scheme near Doncaster
At Finningley near Doncaster, BREE Construction delivered a 9.25 million pound affordable housing scheme for The Guinness Partnership. Marketed as Woodlark Place, the development provides 33 new homes in a sought-after South Yorkshire setting, adding a small but high-quality scheme to Guinness's portfolio in the region.
The contract was awarded in December 2022, confirming BREE's role in delivering the homes for The Guinness Partnership. Finningley's appeal as a village location near Doncaster gives the scheme an attractive setting within easy reach of the wider South Yorkshire area. Guinness Homes unveiled Woodlark Place alongside other new developments, presenting the scheme as part of its growing affordable housing offer across the country.
Homes and tenure mix
The development comprises 12 two-bedroom and 21 three-bedroom homes, offered through a mix of shared ownership and affordable rent. The blend of tenures broadens access for local households, from first-time buyers taking their first step onto the housing ladder to families seeking affordable rented homes in a village setting.
The scheme launched with show home photography capturing the quality of the completed properties. The two and three-bedroom homes were designed to suit families and households looking for affordable, quality housing in a settled village near Doncaster.
Completion
Work was completed in November 2023 as the homes were finished and handed over. From the contract award through to launch and completion, the scheme was delivered as part of Guinness's affordable housing programme in the region.
Now complete, Woodlark Place provides a welcome addition to housing supply in Finningley, offering a mix of affordable homes within an idyllic South Yorkshire location near Doncaster.
