Cameron Homes has completed an £11.2m development in Streethay, just north east of the cathedral city of Lichfield. Called Sandbrook, the 30 one-; two-; three-; four-; and five-bedroom homes were some of the fastest to sell of 2025 for the Staffordshire-headquartered housebuilder.
Consisting of 19 open market properties and 11 affordable homes delivered to Trent & Dove Housing, the development took 15 months to construct, with all homes matched with buyers ahead of the build programme. The 2.1-acre site is moments from Lichfield Trent Valley, which has frequent 75-minute commuter services to London Euston.
The three- to five-bedroom open market houses sold for between £350,000 to £850,000, consisting of a range of semi-detached and executive detached styles constructed with traditional brick and render elevations. The 10 house designs for the private homes range from 880 to 2,381 sq ft, catering to a wide range of buyer profiles, including first time buyers, growing families and downsizers.
Paul Morrisey, Cameron Homes’ operations director, said: “We are thrilled to have concluded the construction and sales for our Sandbrook development in such an efficient time frame. Streethay is such a popular location, due to the walkability into the centre of Lichfield, and the convenience of having such a well-connected mainline train station so close by. The Ofsted-outstanding rated Streethay Primary School and a range of local amenities are also only a short walk from the site.
“The 19 open market homes sold out ahead of the build programme in only six months and it has been really rewarding to see our customers move in and make themselves at home.”
The site was allocated for residential development in Lichfield District Council’s adopted local plan. Cameron Homes appointed Staffordshire-based White Ridge Architecture to design and submit a detailed planning application, which was approved in March 2024. The 5-star HBF housebuilder commenced work on site following the discharge of planning conditions and finalisation of the S106 obligations.
Lewis Brazier, head of production for Cameron Homes, said: “It always gives us a great sense of satisfaction to deliver high quality family homes so close to our head office in Chasetown – and in an area where so many colleagues and valued members of our supply chain live.”
The homes at Sandbrook have been constructed to achieve a high EPC rating, ensuring residents can significantly lower their carbon footprint and benefit from energy savings. Hive thermostats, electric vehicle car chargers, and high performance solar PV panels are installed as standard. The stylish fitted kitchens feature integrated Bosch or Electrolux appliances. Bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms have contemporary white sanitaryware, with Porcelanosa floor and wall tiles.
As part of the construction programme for Sandbrook, Cameron Homes delivered ecological enhancements to increase the biodiversity of the site. A new sustainable drainage system has created a diverse range of flora and fauna, actively encouraging new habitats. Bat bricks and bird boxes were also installed within the majority of the 30 properties.
Established in 1994, Cameron Homes is currently delivering over 200 homes across 11 live developments and has a pipeline of future sites expected to deliver circa 1,000 new homes.
