About us

Founded in 2014 by seasoned property developer William Linnell, Birley Homes Ltd is a true family business built on over four decades of hands-on experience in the industry. From the beginning, our mission has been simple: to create high-quality homes that we’d be proud to live in ourselves — homes designed by a family, for families.

​

We specialise in small, private gated developments that prioritise quality over quantity. Our homes are carefully crafted with attention to detail, and each project reflects our core values of trust, quality and care. Unlike the impersonal approach of larger developers, we offer a personal touch — with the same team behind every project from start to finish.

​

Our track record includes successful developments in Kettering, including Birley Close and Maybury Close, and now our latest project in the idyllic village of Cold Ashby. Nestled in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside, Cold Ashby offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern connectivity — with excellent transport links to Birmingham and London. The development boasts sweeping countryside views, a strong sense of private community, and lifestyle opportunities that cater to families, professionals and downsizers alike.

​

The Birley Homes team combines practical, on-the-ground expertise with commercial, financial and legal know-how. William Linnell leads as Managing Director, bringing 40 years’ experience in both new builds and renovations. His son Jack Linnell serves as Site Manager with years of hands-on development experience. Alex Linnell, our Commercial and Finance Manager, brings commercial expertise from his background in banking and M&A consultancy at PwC. Marketing is led by Susie Parker, with a strong industry background working in marketing for construction companies, while Mark Whittaker, a family member and former Partner at DWF, provides legal and investment support.

​

We may be small, but our passion, integrity and dedication are what make us stand out. At Birley Homes, we don’t just build houses — we create homes that families can truly thrive in.
