HOUSEBUILDER Story Homes has released its next phase of dwellings at the popular Ash Tree Park development in Kendal.

The first of the new properties will be ready for customers to move into from spring/summer 2018 onwards, says the company.

The new house types will offer split-level living over three floors. The three-bedroom semi-detached Portland house type has a garage on the ground floor with a kitchen/diner and lounge on the first floor. Bi-folding doors lead out to the back garden from the lounge, and three spacious bedrooms are found on the second floor with en-suite to the master, and a family bathroom.

The Pennington, meanwhile, has a garage and a media room on the ground floor, which could be used as a home cinema room, gym or as extra space for a growing family. On the first floor is a kitchen/breakfast room with bi-folding doors to the garden, as well as a separate lounge, separate dining room and WC.

There are four spacious bedrooms on the second floor with en-suite to the master, and a family bathroom.

Clare Wilson, sales manager, said: “Our new house types will give buyers at Ash Tree Park even more choice when they come to deciding which Story Home is perfect for their needs.

"It is extremely popular with customers looking for a spacious and high-quality home for their family and we are delighted with the feedback we have received about our homes and the Ash Tree Park development as a whole.

“Externally, the various styles and designs we use mean that our range of homes create stunning street scenes. Using traditional local stone as a feature, we finish many of the homes with feature gables, brickwork and render, making each one different to their neighbours. We create traditional designs that will look fantastic now but also still look fantastic 10, 20 and 30 years down the line.”

More than 35 homes have already been moved into at Ash Tree Park since 2016.
