A new community of homes to launch in Kendal this month

Posted on: February 24, 2026

We are delighted to announce the official launch of Nancy Meadows, a brand-new community of high-quality homes coming to Kendal, with the first release of properties available from 26th February.

This marks an exciting milestone for us, as it is the very first time our popular house types will be delivered in Kendal. While this is the debut of the Genesis Homes range in the town, we are no stranger to the area, having delivered the neighbouring Russell Armer Meadow Rigg development over the past few years.

At Nancy Meadows, we are offering a thoughtfully designed mix of three, four and five bedroom homes, each crafted to reflect the needs of modern living while complementing the character of the surrounding area. The development brings a fresh choice of homes to Kendal, combining contemporary design, strong energy efficiency credentials and the high standards of build quality we are known for.

On 26th February, we will launch nine new homes, including some of our most popular house types, such as the three-bedroom semi-detached Gelt and the four-bedroom detached Ellen.

We are passionate about growing alongside existing communities, and Nancy Meadows will be no exception. Our plans include school engagement and community projects as part of our long-term commitment to the area. This is reinforced by our significant investment in Kendal, with Nancy Meadows and the neighbouring Meadow Rigg development delivering over £1 million in contributions to support community infrastructure. In addition, the development will provide:

  • Affordable homes, totalling 45 across both developments

  • A £50,000 contribution to a local play area

  • £277,000 for off-site drainage infrastructure works

  • £6,600 towards the monitoring and delivery of local sustainable travel initiatives

Together, these contributions ensure that Nancy Meadows not only provides high-quality homes but also strengthens the wider community, helping to create a vibrant, well-connected place for people to live and thrive.

Speaking about the launch, Holly Housby, Marketing Director at Genesis Homes, said:

“We’re incredibly excited to be bringing our brand-new house types to Kendal for the very first time. Nancy Meadows showcases the very best of our design approach – modern, flexible layouts that suit today’s lifestyles, paired with the quaint, characterful exteriors that people in Cumbria know and love. It’s a development that feels truly at home in Kendal, and we can’t wait to welcome the first residents into this fantastic new community.”
