About Lilyford

Lilyford are an award winning privately-owned residential property development firm based in Hampshire. We build stand out, remarkable homes, in the South of England.

Our track record

Lilyford was founded in 2014, the latest chapter for a team that have over 15 years’ experience building high quality, design led homes. As local Sussex and Hampshire residents for many years, we know the county, and surrounding areas personally, and have the access and connections to acquire the most sought-after sites and locations. We have particular experience with working alongside local planning councils in beautiful and sensitive areas like the South Downs National Park.

The Lilyford team

Our brand, and innovative take on new concepts and experiences are extremely important to us. It’s what we want our team to believe in, and our residents to feel proud to be part of.

Maurice Ormerod
Maurice Ormerod Founder & Managing Director
Maurice, working in the development of new homes since he left school, has lived in Midhurst with his young family for most of his life. Passionate about innovation, and creating new and interesting concepts, he never wanted to ‘just build houses’ or work for a corporation. Maurice always had his heart set on concepting something more ambitious and noteworthy. Driven by a fastidious attention to detail, and visionary approach to creativity, he set out to create a brand built on integrity, a solid work ethic, and the importance of family. These are the threads that run through the company and, in turn, the homes the company builds. Maurice views investing in people and local communities as one of Lilyford’s founding principles, as well as creating real value, and always going the extra mile.
Grant Wilson
Grant Wilson Head of Construction
With over 30 years in the housebuilding industry, Grant has decades of experience working as a Quantity Surveyor and Project Manager for both national and local housebuilders. Steering and overseeing projects from one off luxury houses to large 200+ unit estates, he’s managed the construction of a number of prestige retirement developments across the South East, and in the process, gained invaluable knowledge of all aspects of building construction. Inspired by residential projects that deliver impeccable quality and excellent value for money, Grant is thrilled to be part of a team focussed on developing lifestyle-led homes that are exceptional, new and different.

Retirement done differently

Our ambition was always to create impressive and stylish homes that are future proofed for independent living in later life. A fresh new approach that offers a more fully-realised lifestyle.

We specialise in concepting and designing aspirational 1-2-bedroom apartments, ideally suited to downsizers looking for a sense of community, security and peace of mind in highly desirable locations, close to dynamic town centres.

All our developments have easy access to key amenities such as supermarkets, doctors’ surgeries, local shops, parks and ample transport links.

Our end to end, hands on project management means everything is overseen in-house; land acquisition, planning and design, construction, sales and ongoing support. We don’t think of ourselves as just developers, as we’re creating a lifestyle brand that provides ongoing value. It’s a reputation we’re proud of.
