About Abbotswood
A small business, working deliberately.
Abbotswood Homes was founded in 2026 by Emma Horsnell-Shave and is comprised of a small group of experts in their respective fields.
We favour long relationships — with the architects we commission, the contractors we build alongside, and the families who will one day make our homes their own.
