Genesis Homes has begun work on its 18-home development on Station Road, Armathwaite. The development, to be known as ‘Sanders Brow’, honours the architect of Armathwaite Station, John Holloway Sanders. Early interest has exceeded expectations for the 2, 3, 4 and 5-bedroom houses and bungalows, with more than a quarter already reserved.
Ground-breaking ceremony
A ground-breaking ceremony on the site was attended by Genesis Homes’ MD Nicky Gordon, Genesis Homes’ Head of Land John Blue and representatives John McKeon and Fraser Watts from Housing Growth Partnership (HGP).
Nicky Gordon said: “We’re very happy to have started building at Armathwaite in such an attractive and desirable location. These new properties will contribute to meeting the need for new, high-quality homes in Cumbria. We have already noticed strong interest in the site, including a number of reservations, and we’re pleased to partner with HGP in delivering these homes.”
Local employment commitment
Genesis Homes has a strong commitment to employing local people and trades, as well as using local materials to support the community in Cumbria. The housebuilder has current sites in Wigton and Brigham, and began construction on its first site in 2017. The company celebrated its first anniversary last July and now employs nearly 30 people at its Penrith Head Office while contributing to the creation of over 100 jobs in Cumbria.
Armthwaite development official launch
Official launch events open to the public for the Armathwaite development will be held at Genesis Homes’ Head Office in Penrith on Friday 8March and at Genesis Homes’ Wigton development on Saturday 9 March.
