The layouts are carefully considered, the spaces flexible and functional, and the aesthetics are both stylish and timeless. We offer homes you can cherish, personalise, grow into.
To give you a better idea of what our homes look like, how they work and why they’re designed this way, let’s take a closer look at one of our most popular house types.
Introducing The Ellen
The Ellen is an attractive 4 bedroom detached house. Featuring a stylish exterior finished in traditional brick and modern render, anthracite windows and doors, and discreet PV roof panels, this detached house with garage has instant curb appeal.
A detached home with turfed gardens, The Ellen is an ideal new home for larger families, people who work from home and multi-generational households. The amount of usable space 4 bed houses offer make them suitable for a variety of living arrangements.

Distinctive features of The Ellen include:
- An open plan kitchen-dining area with breakfast bar
- Dual aspect bay windows
- A separate utility room
- French doors to the rear
- Four spacious bedrooms
- 10 year LABC warranty
- Single or double garage – plot dependent
A More Detailed Look at The Ellen
The Ellen is a well thought out family home that facilitates modern living throughout its design.Let’s step in through the door of individual spaces in The Ellen to see exactly how this gorgeous 4 bedroom house works for its owners.
Entrance/hall
Enter The Ellen into a roomy hall with handy storage built into the cornered staircase. Great for storing coats, shoes and the myriad of outdoor essentials needed for life in Cumbria! Built-in storage lets you lock away your outerwear when not in use without cluttering your entrance hall.
In addition to integrated storage, the hall offers access to a small downstairs toilet with a washbasin, providing flexible facilities for residents and guests.
Living space
Off the entrance hall is a light, airy living space, spanning the ground floor from front to back. Large double glazed windows let ample daylight into the room, creating an inviting reception room for entertaining, relaxing or playing in. A comfortable and spacious living space is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy time together.
Kitchen/dining space
On the opposite side of the hall to the living room, the kitchen opens out. The heart of any family home and with dedicated areas for cooking and dining, this open plan kitchen diner is more than adequate for this 4 bed house.
French doors leading to outdoor space provide light and fresh air. A separate utility room ensures washing and cleaning accoutrement is contained away from the main room.
Through the utility room is the integrated garage which is great for keeping vehicles, bikes and outdoor equipment. This room offers additional space for storing household supplies, tools and maintenance equipment.
Our homes are finished to a high standard with efficient appliances, stylish kitchen units and modern flooring throughout. The kitchen is no exception.
Bedrooms
The Ellen boasts four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master ensuite. Rooms radiate off a central hallway with a family bathroom positioned opposite the staircase.
The master bedroom of this handsome 4 bed detached house is roomy and allows for flexible layouts to best benefit from the layout. The well-equipped ensuite contains a walk-in shower, toilet and basin and provides convenient washing facilities separate to the main family bathroom.
The second bedroom is spacious enough for a double bed, and enjoys a light and airy aspect. The space can be arranged to suit the needs of the occupants, and has easy access to the main bathroom.
The third and fourth bedrooms, whilst smaller than the larger rooms upstairs, are great for children and teenages, or using as additional family spaces. Built-in storage both insulates sounds from the bathroom and reduces the need for further furniture.
Ideal as home gyms, offices or occasional rooms for overnight guests, this 4 bedroom house layout allows homeowners the flexibility to use extra space as required.
Bathrooms
The family bathroom upstairs benefits from a separate shower and bath, and enough space to bathe children comfortably. Sleek tiles, durable floors and a modern suite make this hard-working hub highly functional, as well as attractive.
The inclusion of a master ensuite allows multiple inhabitants to wash simultaneously. This addition is a huge draw and not always included in older homes with 4 bedrooms.
Outdoor Space
All Ellen detached houses benefit from turfed gardens to the front and rear. For gardeners, these are a wonderfully blank canvas for grand garden designs. Those who prefer a lower maintenance routine will appreciate the ease of managing the lawn whilst still enjoying green space.
There’s enough space for garden furniture and children’s play equipment, greenhouses, sheds and vegetable beds. So whatever you’re into, a versatile garden is included as standard with our Ellen detached housing.
