Housebuilding group untypical is accelerating its growth in Somerset after securing a number of new land deals that will deliver 338 new homes through its Tilia Homes brand.

The developments, located across the county, are scheduled to begin construction during 2026 and will help address local housing demand, with a strong emphasis on affordability.

One of the sites, in Nether Stowey, West Somerset, will provide 58 new homes, of which 23 will be affordable. This means around 40% of the development will be delivered in partnership with a local housing provider, supporting access to housing for local people.

Chris Glover at CJH Land, commented:
 “We were delighted to have worked with the untypical Western team on the Somerset acquisitions. Their collaborative and pragmatic approach was instrumental in navigating the process and bringing these acquisitions to a successful conclusion.”

The Somerset sites form part of untypical’s wider strategy to grow in areas of strong housing demand while delivering a diverse range of homes that respond to local priorities.

Kathryn Pennington, Regional Managing Director for untypical’s Western region, said:
 “These new sites significantly strengthen our presence across Somerset, enabling us to deliver high-quality new homes that reflect the needs of local communities.

“By focusing on affordability and thoughtful design, we can help address genuine housing need while supporting sustainable, long-term growth across the county.”
