Allison Homes Starts Work at Auster Meadows in Rearsby

Our East Midlands team have kicked off 2026 by commencing construction of Auster Meadows in Rearsby, our fourth site in the region to break ground!

Our new eight-acre development will offer 65 energy efficient homes, including 47 two, three, four and five bedroom homes available through open market sale, and 18 one, two and three bedroom affordable homes.

From the iconic Seven Arch Bridge to the calming brook that meanders through its centre, life in Rearsby is an escape from the hustle and bustle, while still being brilliantly well-connected. Leicester and Melton Mowbray are accessed in under 20 minutes via road, with the nearby Syston Station providing easy links to Nottingham, Lincoln and London.

Amy Gormley, Head of Sales, said: “We are so excited to have started work on a stunning new development and our fourth project in the region. Auster Meadows offers a rare opportunity to join one of Leicestershire’s most sought-after Wreake Valley villages, balancing rural tranquillity with modern convenience. It is a nature-lovers’ dream with endless walks to enjoy, including the 100-mile Leicestershire Round, alongside plenty of boutique farm shops and cafes to stop at.

We have planned contributions worth more than £200,000 towards improving local healthcare, education services, libraries, outdoor sports facilities, allotments and public transport services. We want to ensure that this community continues to thrive and offer a truly special place to call home.

Detailed research has been undertaken to ensure the house designs are based on the needs and aspirations of future homeowners, as well as aiming for an authentic appearance to complement the village’s history.

This includes traditional rooflines, feature chimneys and ornate brickwork, usually found on older, traditional cottages. The majority of homes will be two and three bedroom properties to cater for first-time buyers, families and downsizers alike, with a selection of homes built to be accessible and adaptable for those with mobility needs.

We’re looking forward to launching Auster Meadows this Summer!
