About Croudace Homes

Croudace Homes traces its origins to 1946, when the business repaired properties damaged during the Second World War. Its first new-build contract followed in 1947 with council housing in Bletchingley, Surrey, before it expanded into private housebuilding. Today, the independent developer builds new homes across the South East, from apartments to detached family houses. Its history includes substantial planned communities such as Vigo Village in Kent and Church Langley in Essex, alongside more recent expansion through a western regional office in Theale.
