Self-building is not as common in the UK as it is in Europe but we've partnered with Steenvlinder, a Dutch development company with over ten years of successful experience in enabling people to self-build and who aim to make self-building more accessible for people in the UK.  

We have carefully plotted out a self-build process which will guide you through your journey, step by step.

As a self-builder, you can design your new house for the way you want to live. It's very  exciting, but it can seem like a daunting task, especially if you've never done it before.  

At Orchard Farm, we want to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. That's why we offer you a free consultation with our in-house architect to help get you started, plus the support of our Customer Guide, who will be with you every step of the way.

We can also introduce you to an independent Network of Experts, including architects and financial advisers who have been fully briefed about the project too. 

The full planning permission for Phase 1 was submitted early 2023 to the Ashford Borough Council. The planning regulations are now presented in the plot passports. Every plot has its own unique passport. It also includes the legal regulations of your purchase process.
