New Homes for Sale in Cumbria

Living in Cumbria means you’ll never be more than a short drive from the highest peaks or the most picturesque lakes in the country. Although known for the Lake District, Cumbria is also home to a significant part of the Yorkshire Dales, providing you with two national parks to explore when you’re looking for outdoor adventure. 

And because the county borders Scotland, Lancashire, and the North East, you can drive in almost any direction and find yourself somewhere totally different within the hour, which is ideal for a day out without a long drive.

Beyond the beautiful views, buying a new build home in Cumbria offers much better value for money than most other parts of the UK. You can secure a modern new home with great nearby amenities for just a fraction of the cost of a city-centre property. 

Choosing a home in Cumbria means you’ll find plenty of things to do that are perfect for the whole family. You might spend a Saturday on Lake Windermere or Buttermere, or you could test your legs by hiking up Helvellyn or Scafell Pike for a view that makes the climb worth the effort. For further cycling or walking routes, Whinlatter Forest is within easy reach of many of our developments across the county.

If you prefer visiting the coast, the beaches around Furness Peninsula and the Solway Coast offer miles of quiet coastline, perfect for a quieter walk with the dog.

For a bit of history, you can spend an afternoon exploring the remains of Hadrian’s Wall or visiting Muncaster Castle, which is famously haunted and has a choice of interesting gardens to walk through.

Carlisle is the nearest city, full of modern bistros, restaurants and pubs. It’s also home to The Lanes Shopping Centre, boasting many well-known brands and high-street shops, which is ideal for when you’re looking for a little retail therapy. Our developments are also within easy reach of popular towns such as Kendal and Keswick, both offering a fantastic choice of restaurants, shops and local amenities for all ages.  

With its rural locations, travelling in and around Cumbria means you’ll enjoy some of the most beautiful views in the country.
