Woodstock Homes

What Woodstock Homes does

Woodstock Homes is a privately held, Bristol-based residential property developer founded in 1996 by Martin Newman, operating primarily across the South West of England and South Wales. The company builds and sells contemporary 2-5 bedroom homes — apartments, townhouses, and detached houses — with prices typically ranging from approximately £350,000 to £500,000+ per unit. All homes include sustainability features as standard: solar PV panels, air source heat pumps, EV charging points, fibre optic connectivity, and (on selected house types) waste water heat recovery, positioning the homes at EPC A/B and delivering claimed energy savings of approximately £2,400 annually versus older properties.

The group operates through three sub-brands: Woodstock Homes (private market sales), Woodstock Partnerships (100% affordable housing delivery for housing association partners including Alliance Homes, Abri, Curo, LiveWest, and Bromford), and Woodstock Strategic (land promotion and acquisition). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time property sales, supplemented by land transactions and affordable housing development contracts funded in part by Homes England grants. The company holds NHBC Premium Rated Developer status, offers a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty, and was awarded Developer of the Year at the 2025 Bristol Property Awards.

Woodstock Homes sells primarily through direct sales at on-site show homes and through appointed development agents (e.g., Andrews Estate Agents), supported by buyer-assistance schemes (Part Exchange, Smoothmove, Deposit Unlock). Customer segments are horizontally distributed across first-time buyers, families, downsizers, and affordable housing recipients. With approximately 11-50 employees, circa £18m of FY2025 turnover, a forward pipeline of nearly 900 plots, and 246 new homes secured in 2025, Woodstock Homes is a mid-sized regional housebuilder scaling its private and affordable housing operations under a planned leadership transition (James Hutchinson as MD, Martin Newman as Executive Chairman).
