Welcome to Home Life

Andy Beattie, Managing Director at Forge New Homes, introduces Home Life – our new online magazine dedicated to the things that make life better at home.

Here at Forge New Homes, we’re about much more than just building houses. We strive to design and build vibrant communities where families can flourish, and people can feel truly at home. Our developments – across South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, and Lincolnshire – are thoughtfully designed for modern living, offering flexible spaces and seamless layouts that enable family life to flow naturally. Each home is built to exacting quality standards, ensuring your home is comfortable and functional for every member of the family.

Waverley Green is a great example of how our developments are located and designed to promote both convenience and a sense of community. This development of 32 fully electric homes, within the larger mixed-use development of Waverley, sits adjacent to the shops and amenities of Olive Lane – meaning that a local cafe, restaurant, convenience store, pharmacy, nursery and medical centre are just a short walk from home.

Reflecting our community focus, we are proud to launch Home Life as part of our latest website update. Home Life is where we share real stories from Forge homeowners, highlighting the personal journeys and experiences that we think will resonate: like Myles and Alex, early adopters in Pilsley, who share their journey of settling into their new community, and Abbie and Luke, who discuss starting a family in their new Forge home.

You’ll also find advice and inspiration in Home Life to help make your home the best it can be – whether that’s about using colour or adding art to your walls. Our home experts and guest writers will share their top tips for getting great results while saving time. We hope these articles will be interesting and useful to anyone who has a home.

We continue to expand and innovate at Forge, with development well under way at Welbeck Gardens in Bolsover, and new projects like Beckingham near Gainsborough on the horizon. Every development shows our commitment to creating homes that are not just functional and beautiful but make a positive contribution to the local area.

We hope you enjoy Home Life’s combination of real-life stories and practical tips for your home. They reflect our philosophy of combining purposeful design with a focus on what we all need from our homes – comfort, function and a sense of belonging.
