About Freeman Homes

Freeman Homes creates small collections of new homes in countryside locations across Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. Part of the family-owned MF Freeman business, the housebuilding brand launched in 1999, with wider family business roots dating to 1966. Its approach combines timber-frame construction with renewable technologies and an emphasis on internal space. The developer concentrates on a limited number of locations at a time, with energy performance and the relationship between each scheme and its rural setting central to its published approach.
