Development Overview

This prestigious new build development, positioned at the southern gateway to Kendal, is characterised by its traditional design and use of locally-sourced Cumbrian stone and render finishes, reflecting the local vernacular. The development offers a collection of three, four, and five-bedroom semi-detached and detached homes. The community is now in its final phase of sales, having been over 95% sold out, with construction completing in March. Only a final few plots remain available, demonstrating the high demand for new build homes in this area.

The remaining properties are five-bedroom detached family homes, including the 'Latchford', currently priced at £669,995, and the 'Knightsbridge', priced at £729,995. The Knightsbridge is a substantial, double-fronted detached house style spanning 2074 sq ft and features five bedrooms and three bathrooms. All new homes at Stonecross Meadows are built to a high internal specification, which includes contemporary open-plan kitchen areas fitted with integrated appliances, and modern bathrooms featuring Aqualisa showers, low-profile shower trays, and a choice of Porcelanosa tiles. Internal fixtures, such as LED downlights and polished chrome door handles, are fitted as standard.
