Our Team

Manor House Builders is a family owned business that started in Maryland in 1992.  The president of the company, Hilton Smith Jr., got his start in commercial development in the late 70’s and through the acquisition of a farm in Maryland, started his entry into residential real estate building entry level homes.  The company was also the developer of the land, which has continued to be the model of operation.

 The first community, Cross Creek, in Hagerstown, Maryland, had approximately 300 homes. The company is still building in another part of the farm called Carriage Hill. Carriage Hill contains "move-up" style homes with prices ranging from $225,000 for townhomes to $500,000 for single-family detached.

The company expanded into Falling Waters, West Virginia in 1998 with the acquisition of a development known as Amberfield. This 300 acre community is designed for larger lots and is priced from $250,000 to $550,000. There is a section set aside for townhomes in the future as well.

Other West Virginia communities include Nestle Bluff, Nestle Woods and Honeywood.

In 2003, Hilton C. Smith, Jr. started up a South Carolina building company, Manorhouse Builders of SC, with his two sons. While not operating under the name of Manorhouse at this time, Hilton Smith was involved with a few entry-level townhome projects before this, both as developer and builder. Those projects included a 50 townhouse neighborhood in Mount Pleasant called Eastwood Townhomes, and a 350 townhouse community on James Island called Meridian Place.

In 2005 Manorhouse started building townhomes in Ashley Park. This project has 150 of the 350 homes finished and continues to be competively priced from the $150,000 to $190,000 range. Product includes "on-grade" units as well as drive-under garage units with two or three bedrooms. This community is conveniently located off the Glenn McConnell Parkway next to West Ashley High School.

In 2008, Manorhouse started building its first single-family detached homes in South Carolina with Fieldview in Summerville. The company has built several handcrafted and designed homes in the upper $200's in this neo-traditional neighborhood. The owners were also the developers of this community which is surrounded by the Gahagan Plantation Community Park off Gahagan Road.

Manorhouse Builders of SC is proud to be an active part of the Lowcountry community and prides itself on building quality, affordable and unique homes backed by exceptional customer service.
