We’re delighted to have submitted a Reserved Matters application to build a new development in the village of Cumwhinton, following the grant of Outline Planning Permission in August. The plan for the scheme features 19 homes, with a mix of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom houses and bungalows. Genesis Homes offer a high specification as standard […]
What better entrance to 2019 than the crisp bright winter sunshine we woke up to on 1st January in this beautiful place we call home… Cumbria and the Lake District. Trying to ignore the empty bottles of red wine on the kitchen side, myself and family were up and out on New Year’s Day to […]
The start of a new year and with the prospect of returning to work after a few days off, the house looking bare after the decorations have come down, and the weather not being entirely at its best, what better way to brighten up your life than by adding some colour to your home? One […]

Joking aside, most of my working life has been spent contracting for large house builders and I became increasingly frustrated that the process was by no means perfect, often disorganised, and produced an uninspiring product. Genesis Homes was formed with a simple […]
We’ve chosen navy and silver for our Christmas theme at the ‘Trent’ Show Home in Wigton. The lounge has elegant shades of navy, burnt orange and silvery greys, and the fantastic array of baubles currently in the shops have produced a lovely calm and relaxing décor. The tree nestles perfectly into the bay window and, […]
I have just read with interest statistics released by Department for Education that show there has been a 24 per cent fall in apprenticeship starts for the 2017/18 academic year compared with the previous academic year. I think most construction companies share the same concerns as us over how we attract people into the industry, […]
Focus, holding your nerve, taking new approaches, keeping your eye on the target… During my time as a budding professional rugby player, these words served as my mantra. Now, as managing director of a new home developer, they do just the same. I’m often struck by the similarities between sporting and business worlds, some of […]
