About us

Built one at a time

A small Cheshire developer with an eye for detail.

Who we are

Oakhaven Developments

We're a small developer building individually designed homes. We'd rather build one house properly than many in a hurry.

Every project starts with the plot. We look at what the site deserves, then work with architects and interior designers to draw a house that belongs there, in materials that will look better in twenty years than on the day it's finished.

We stay involved from the planning drawings to handover, so the house you walk into is the house that was drawn.

Our approach

From plot to keys

  1. I

    The right plot

    We look for sites where a single exceptional house belongs, rather than ones we can pack with homes.

  2. II

    Drawn properly

    We work with architects and interior designers so the brick, the stone and the light are decided together.

  3. III

    Built carefully

    Everything is checked on site and built to current British Standards, using materials chosen to age well.

  4. IV

    Handed over finished

    The landscaping is in, the brass is fitted and every room is ready to live in from the first day.

What matters to us

Quiet quality

Honest materials

Brick, sandstone, natural slate, oak and honed stone. We choose materials that patinate rather than wear out.

Considered interiors

Each home has a full interior scheme, planned at the same time as the architecture rather than added at the end.

Room for nature

Our houses include built-in bat and sparrow boxes, along with hedging and planting that soften the house into its setting.
