A Kendal property development has been nominated in the prestigious UK Property Awards.

The Beeches, a 76-home site being developed by Story Homes, is on the shortlist in the Best Residential Development category at the annual awards.

The site has proved incredibly popular since it was launched last year with enquiries and sales at exceptional levels.

Steve Errington, CEO of Story Homes, said: "The Beeches has been one of our most popular developments, and for good reasons.

"The sense of community we have created, and the satisfaction our customers gain from living at the Beeches, is due in part to the exceptional countryside and landscapes in which the development is set.

"We have used traditional building materials to ensure our homes reflect – and add to – the remarkable architectural beauty of the Lake District town and its surroundings."

Story Homes has developments across Lancashire, Cumbria, North East England and South West Scotland.

In 2015, the company anticipates delivering more than 550 homes across its development portfolio.

The UK Property Awards will take place at London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square in Mayfair on 9 October 2015.
