We’re thrilled to say we’re officially launching our latest development, Derwent Rise, in the heart of the West Cumbrian village of Seaton on Tuesday 12th August. The launch marks the next milestone in the delivery of 99 high-specification homes in a sought-after location on the Cumbrian coast, close to Workington town centre.
Derwent Rise brings together thoughtful design, sustainable features and a genuine sense of community. The range of two to five-bedroom houses and bungalows combine contemporary layouts with distinctive exteriors, and come with practical touches such as solar panels, EV charging points, energy-efficient insulation and turfed gardens as standard – all designed to make everyday living greener and more cost-effective.
Reflecting our ‘Community’ value, the development will also benefit from shared green spaces with community features creating more than just new homes but a place where neighbours can connect and a strong sense of belonging can grow.
Balancing rural charm with community warmth and everyday convenience, Derwent Rise is designed to appeal to a broad range of home buyers – from first-time buyers and growing families to those looking to downsize in a welcoming, well-connected setting.
The launch will see the first release of new homes at Derwent Rise that are available to officially reserve, as well as providing the opportunity to visit the development, browse house types and speak to the dedicated sales executive.
As part of our commitment to supporting the local community, Genesis Homes is contributing over £600,000 towards improvements in the Seaton area. This includes investment in local education, sustainable travel and infrastructure, helping to enhance essential services and ensure the development brings long-term benefit to the village and surrounding areas.
Situated with excellent access to the A595 and offering strong links to Whitehaven, Carlisle and beyond, Derwent Rise is set to meet significant demand in an area identified as in need of quality new housing. In addition to its private homes, the development will include a provision of affordable properties to support local housing needs.
Nicky Gordon, Managing Director of Genesis Homes, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be launching Derwent Rise, an exciting new chapter not just for Genesis Homes, but for the local community in Seaton. These homes have been thoughtfully designed to reflect how people want to live today, combining quality, character and energy efficiency. From 12th August, we’re looking forward to welcoming visitors and helping them find a home that truly suits their needs.”
Interest is expected to be high following several Early Bird reservations taken in the past few weeks and we encourage those interested to register in advance and book appointments from the launch date by calling 07356086800 or completing an enquiry form here.
