Building on two centuries of South Cumbrian heritage
For more than 250 years, Holker Group has played a leading role in shaping South Cumbria, through land stewardship, investment, and a long-term commitment to the region and its communities.
Holker Homes builds on that legacy.
ABOUT HOLKER HOMES
Holker’s approach has always been grounded in understanding place. Not just land ownership, but how communities grow, how landscapes evolve, and how investment can support long-term prosperity.
From its roots at Holker Hall in the 18th century through to today’s diverse Group of businesses, that philosophy remains unchanged: thoughtful development, guided by experience and responsibility.

Homes shaped by place
Holker Homes is focused on delivering high quality new homes across South Cumbria via developments that respond to their setting, reflect local character and contribute positively to the communities they become part of.
This is not about building in isolation, but about shaping places that sit comfortably within the wider landscape and local economy.
Setting first
Each development begins with its surroundings — the landscape, the views and the character of the place.
From coastal settings overlooking Morecambe Bay to the distinctive environments of South Cumbria’s towns and villages, Holker Homes developments are designed with their context in mind from the outset.
Investment beyond homes
Holker Homes recognises that successful development is about more than the homes that are built. Each scheme is approached with a long term view of its environmental and community impact.
This includes delivering Biodiversity Net Gain within developments wherever possible, alongside wider habitat creation and landscape enhancement across the Holker Estate to support long term ecological resilience and responsible stewardship of the natural environment.
Holker Homes developments will also contribute through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and other planning obligations, helping support investment in local infrastructure, services and facilities that enable communities to grow sustainably alongside new housing.
Looking forward
We’re not new to housebuilding. For more than 50 years, Holker has been creating homes at Holbeck near Barrow, helping support communities, employment and economic growth across South Cumbria. Today, as the region enters a period of significant change, with major investment and job creation driving demand for new housing, Holker Homes is looking forward once again. Building on decades of experience, it will deliver high-quality new homes through its planning, development and construction activity, creating places that respond positively to their surroundings and contribute to thriving communities. Alongside the wider Holker Group businesses, Holker Homes will play its part in supporting long-term prosperity across the region while maintaining the Group’s enduring commitment to quality, heritage and place.
Transformative investment
Holker’s history is closely tied to the development of South Cumbria itself.
The Cavendish family played a leading role in bringing the railway to the Furness peninsula in the 19th century, a transformative investment that connected communities, enabled industry and helped establish Barrow-in-Furness as a major centre of employment.
That long term, enabling approach to investment continues today — supporting growth, connectivity and economic opportunity across the region.
