The properties at The Laureates, off Low Road, overlook lovely countryside and combine traditional Cumbrian architecture with ease of access to the town centre.

They have been built by developer Lovell, whose sales manager Clare Noakes said: “The spacious homes, combined with a rural setting, makes these homes perfect for families who long for their children to grow up in the countryside.

“They have really captured the attention of buyers who want a new home which is easy to maintain and cost-effective to run, while offering easy access to the historic market town and everything it has to offer for all ages.”

Homes at The Laureates start at £175,950.
