St Cuthberts in Wigton is a magnificent and select new development of well-designed two, three and four-bedroom homes, including detached, semi-detached and bungalows.

Genesis Homes’ attention to imaginative design, coupled with high-quality construction, is proving extremely popular with families looking for an ideal home in a superb location.

From bespoke finishing touches, high-end kitchens and bathrooms and clever storage solutions, to green parkland space and recreational areas, Genesis has all areas covered in the art of comfortable living.

The development is spaciously laid out, with open parkland areas and delightful views. With six already reserved, and several more under discussion, early reservation to be the first owners of phase one is highly recommended, with homes available from £175,000, and a limited number of affordable two-bedroom homes from £112,500.

Wigton is a great place to live, a traditional Cumbrian market town with high-achieving schools and excellent access to major employment centres such as Carlisle, Penrith and the thriving Energy Coast towards Sellafield.

Genesis Homes is building 74 new high-quality homes in Wigton, the first development by Cumbria’s newest housebuilder.

The company was the brainchild of Mark Walker, a well-regarded Cumbrian businessman with significant expertise in land, planning and development Co-directors Nicky Gordon and Nick Bailey also come with very strong backgrounds. Managing director Nicky Gordon has been involved in groundworks and civil engineering aspects of large housing developments since 2004, and has overseen the successful delivery of more than 5,000 plots for national and regional housing developers.

Nicky said: “We have set out to be different in every way – not just in design and finish, but in terms of how we partner with landowners. It is very satisfying to see our homes, and also our whole approach, received so positively. The fact that St Cuthberts in Wigton is selling so quickly is excellent news.”

St Cuthberts is being marketed by Cumbrian Properties, whose managing director Adrian Hogarth said: “We are proud to be associated with the development and sale of the unique properties that Genesis Homes are building at St Cuthberts.

“We have had a lot of interest from a variety of people – local and moving into the area – who have expressed interest in this site.”

Genesis Homes’ technical director Nick Bailey has more than 25 years’ experience in architectural design and technical delivery of volume housebuilding. He has previously held distinguished roles at Senator Homes, Persimmon Homes and Border Homes.

He said: “We understand the Cumbrian market very well, and recognised the need for a different approach to design.

Our new homes will have strong aesthetics and, for example, kitchens and bathrooms from leading, high-end designers and manufacturers.”

With a range of designs for more than 20 house types, from bungalows and two-bedrooms properties up to six-bedroom executive homes, Genesis will build for all requirements.

The company’s focus will be on quality, in terms of both location and the style and finish of its new homes.

It has received strong backing from banks and investors and so is well-placed to provide Cumbria with a new and dynamic answer to its housing shortage, with plans at an advanced stage to commence further sites across the county.

Land director Mark Walker, who has identified several locations, with sites ranging from 20-150 new homes, said: “There is a real need for more, and better, homes in Cumbria. We are geared up to address that. This is an exciting time.”
