Our Philosophy

Designed for living

‘Beautiful homes in beautiful locations’ is our simple philosophy. We design and build unique homes that deliver exceptional living in prime locations across Cumbria. We want your new house to feel like your home from the moment you set eyes on it.

Our overriding objective is for our customers to live in a home they love, in a location that enhances their everyday life.

We believe in quality materials, design, build and finish. Our excitement comes from creating new, not recreating.
Neil Le Sage, Founder

Our Ethos

Quality at the heart of everything we do

Attention to detail

We pride ourselves on being known for our exclusive and unique houses. Our attention to detail and commitment to quality ensures incredibly high standards. We use materials that are of the finest quality, sourced locally and worked by the very best local craftsmen — an abundance of natural materials such as hardwood, stone and slate.

Stunning locations

The location and immediate surroundings are key to successful living. We look for key locations in stunning surroundings with easy access to the things that make everyday life work. We have completed several unique schemes in and around the Lake District National Park, recognised as a benchmark for sensitively designed schemes.

Individual design

We create individual homes that fit the location. We think hard about how people will actually live — seamless flows, natural layouts and the small details that make a home feel right from the moment you set eyes on it.

Built responsibly

Our homes are built with the future in mind: a sustainable approach to building using high levels of insulation and air tightness, and quality materials chosen to last. We build to add positively to the landscape around us with longevity in mind.

Our Team

Building a strong team

We are fortunate to employ a passionate team of highly skilled trades people and managers. We believe that if you pay people well, give them respect and support them, they will produce great results. This focus has allowed us to build a solid team with an incredibly high retention rate.

We are creating family homes to last the test of time, and to continue that we need to make sure our work family is tight knit and well supported.
