New Showhome At Sedbergh

Cumbrian Homes have opened a new showhome at their Howgill Skies development at Sedbergh in South Cumbria. Overlooking the town, the development will contain 12 new homes built in local stone in a variety of two, three and four bedroom designs, some of which will incorporate first floor living areas to take advantage of the incredible views.

The new showhome, a four-bedroom Calder detached home, features an integral double garage, an open plan kitchen/dining room with access to the rear garden and the separate utility room and a spacious living room with a corner fire place. The four bedrooms are on the first floor with the master bedroom benefitting from en-suite facilities and the three others sharing the family bathroom.

The homes will be the first new development within the town for many years and will also be built to the very latest standards which incorporate extremely high levels of energy efficiency, thereby saving home owners money in the long run on their fuel costs.


Cumbrian Homes' Managing Director, Nigel Pallister, commented: "We actually had five reservations on the development before we opened the showhome last weekend and the interest so far has been incredible with some very serious enquiries currently being discussed for the remaining seven plots.

"It's a superb site in a truly beautiful location and the fact that it's also the first new development in the town for many years, coupled with the general return of confidence in the housing market that we're experiencing, has meant we confidently expect to announce further reservations from the two weekends we are opening the showhome.

"I would therefore recommend interested potential buyers to contact us as soon as possible to become involved in the design stage of the construction process, ensuring their new home is almost tailor-made to their individual requirements with room layouts and finishes able to be altered at this stage.

"We believe our standard of finish goes well beyond what you would expect from a lot of our competitors.

"Our added flexibility when it comes to buyers' choices further emphasises how committed we are to providing our homeowners with the high quality, bespoke new home they wish for."

Sedbergh, located just five miles from access to the M6 and close to Kendal, one of the South Cumbria's most picturesque market towns, is actually in Cumbria, although it also sits within the boundary of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and home to some 2,700 residents and the famous public school. Recently, the town has re-invented itself as a Book Town with the local economy boosted by a loose collection of businesses based around books and their production.
