About
Orchard Homes is a family-run, luxury home development business
Established in 1983 by three brothers, Neil, Trend, and Clive Binks, Orchard was built to develop individually designed luxury homes to the highest of standards across the prime, highly desirable locations in East Anglia.
Owned and directed by the Binks brothers, with support from the next generation of the family, we provide a personal service to our clients, building breathtaking, one-of-a-kind homes elegantly crafted for modern living in the picturesque areas of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Who we are
Having founded Orchard Homes decades ago and working with one another every day since, the brothers’ shared history and deep connection have created a tight-knit team that all work collaboratively, each bringing something special to build strong, meaningful relationships with our clients, ultimately resulting in the creation of magnificent homes personally tailored to each client.
With the Binks brothers at the helm, offering a trinity of leadership, and supported by the next generation, embodied by Nicholas and Christopher Binks, as well as an extended team of craftsman who have been with us since the beginning, Orchard Homes are the go-to choice for luxury home development in East Anglia.
What we do
Blend modern innovations with traditional craftsmanship
As luxury home developers, we design and build properties that blend modern innovations with traditional craftsmanship, creating homes that are as luxurious as they are unique.
There’s more than one way we do this – whether we are buying land to build a multi-house development in an urban location or designing and building a custom home in the countryside, the goal remains the same, which is to defy expectations to create a unique luxury home that blends in with the surrounding area and made entirely bespoke for you.
Embrace complex builds with exceptional results
As you may imagine, doing what we do is no easy task, however, with our experience in homebuilding, accommodating approach, and range of expertise, we turn dreams, ideas and visions into the real thing – your new home.
Instead of shying away from challenges, we embrace the most complex of builds, overcoming complications with effective solutions to achieve the desired outcome and deliver exceptional results.
Creating a lifestyle, not a home
What we do at Orchard Homes goes far beyond simply building homes. With our developments, we create a certain lifestyle. A way of living that promotes comfort, wellbeing, and pride in the place you call your home.
Why choose us
Fuelled by the Family Spirit
As a family-run business, we all take pride in the contribution each of us brings to the table. Because of our closeness and connection, the Binks family collaborate seamlessly to get the job done. This family spirit is also reflected in how we communicate and treat our clients – like honorary members of our proud family.
Sustainability Ensured Always
As home developers, we understand that we have a duty to our local environment, wildlife and community. By taking such an active approach to sustainability, we ensure that the luxury properties we design and build are energy-efficient and go on to have a low impact on the surrounding areas.
There’s Something About an Orchard Home
Have you ever come across a home that just had something different about it? Because of our highly regarded reputation, detailed craftsmanship, and bespoke approach, this is something that comes as standard with all Orchard homes – each is one of a kind and stands out as something truly special.
A Pleasurable Buying Experience
Not only should the buying experience be stress-free and simple, but we go further by ensuring an easy process and also making the entire process a pleasure. We like to keep buyers involved and part of the buying process, and many of our clients have bought from us on multiple occasions, so we must be doing something right.
Expert Craftsmanship Lives On
The craftsmanship of our tradesmen cannot be overstated. With access to the very best talent, it’s in the finer details where we flourish, adding bespoke touches, luxurious features, and elegant finishes to our creations. With this heavy focus on craftsmanship, we can make certain of each property’s uniqueness and timeless appeal.
Sustainability
With an unwavering commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency and environmental impact are factors that play a part in all of our projects. From the initial design phase to the very last final touches, we prioritise and give thought to the environmental impact, which helps us to ensure our homes are as equally beautiful as they are ecologically responsible. By embracing innovative technology and exceeding government standards, we deliver energy-efficient properties with features like thermal-efficient walls, photovoltaic tiles, and Class A energy appliances. For added assurance, each home comes with a predicted energy report, reflecting our dedication to reducing carbon footprints.
Our sustainable practices extend beyond the homes themselves. We thoughtfully landscape each development with rainwater collection systems, wildlife-friendly plants, and sustainable drainage solutions. Internally, we incorporate modern efficiencies like heat recovery systems and Air Source heat pumps to reduce energy costs. Every detail is designed to offer an eco-conscious lifestyle without compromising on style, luxury or functionality.
