Story Homes Avis 

We could not speak more highly of our experience of buying a Story Home at Hawksley Rise.
From reservation through to completion, Kelsey was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. She was always available to answer questions, kept us informed every step of the way, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. She mitigated the stress of selling, buying and everything that goes with it, and we are very grateful for that.
We are absolutely delighted with our new home and the quality of the build and finish.
We would highly recommend Story Homes to anyone looking to purchase a new home.

Kelsey was really helpful and accommodating when we needed to rearrange appointments. She always responded quickly to emails, whenever we had any queries. She definitely knows her stuff and was a pleasure to deal with throughout.

We had such a positive experience purchasing our new home, and a huge part of that was down to Kelsey Jones.

From our very first interaction, Kelsey was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is incredibly knowledgeable, knew all the facts, and was always happy to answer our many questions with so much patience and professionalism. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble for her.

Kelsey was also extremely responsive and accommodating. She was always happy to arrange appointments around us, and if we had a question or concern that she didn’t have the answer to immediately, she would look into it and have an answer for us by our next appointment. This gave us so much reassurance throughout the whole process.

Buying a home can be a stressful experience, but Kelsey made the process feel easy and enjoyable. She always listened to any worries or queries we had, and made sure we felt supported every step of the way.

We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better representative and would highly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking to purchase a home through Story Homes. She is a real credit to the company, and we are so grateful for all her help in making this experience such a positive one.

Great experience.
Amanda and Robert are really helpful.
We were able to take our time and discuss all our options. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Amanda and Roger as always were fantastic host and the Scotby show house was beautiful.

Fiona was happy to spend time showing us around and explaining the houses and the process. She was very friendly and knowledgeable.

So far in the process, our sales executive Sarah at Millfields Ulverston has been very professional and helpful. We’re looking forward to completing and moving into our new home.

Sam is absolutely amazing! Answering every question and giving advice when needed! Making our experience easier and better!

Sales person Kelsey was very friendly, supportive and helpful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’re currently around 40% of the way through the process of purchasing our new Story Home, and I can genuinely say that, so far, it has been the smoothest and most enjoyable house-buying experience I’ve had.

A huge part of that has been down to Kelsey. She has been exceptional throughout the process: extremely knowledgeable, proactive and professional, while still maintaining a really personal and approachable manner. No matter what question we’ve had, Kelsey has always been able to provide a clear answer or quickly find the information we need.

Communication has been excellent, and we’ve always felt informed and supported at every stage rather than having to chase for updates. Buying a new home can naturally come with a lot of questions and uncertainty, but Kelsey has made the whole experience feel straightforward and well managed.

Although we still have some way to go before completion, our experience with Story Homes so far has been first class. If the remainder of the journey continues in the same way, we couldn’t ask for much more.

A very well-deserved five stars from us, and a special thank you to Kelsey for making the experience such a positive one.

I was lucky enough to have a show around with robert and amanda and they were nothing but helpful!! They were both so lovely, friendly and welcoming from the second I arrived. They gave me such a brilliant tour of the Story Home, explained everything so well and were more than happy to answer all my questions. They made the whole experience feel so relaxed, enjoyable and exciting, and you could really tell they were passionate about what they do. Couldn’t have asked for two better people to show me around, they were honestly fantastic! ⭐️

We received great service from the lovely Kelsey at hawksley rise from the start to secure our beautiful Harrison home! Very informative throughout and was so nice to have her assisting us with our choices etc.

Cannot wait till January 2027!

Kelsey has been amazing through the house buying process at Hawksley Rise. As first time buyers we didn’t know much about what we needed to do or organise but Kelsey has helped us every step of the way!

We'd like to thank Kelsey for the exceptional service and support throughout our home-buying journey with Story Homes. From our initial enquiry through to the later stages of the process, Kelsey has been professional, knowledgeable and always willing to help.

She has kept us informed at every step, responded promptly to any questions, and made what can often be a stressful experience feel much smoother and more manageable. Her friendly approach, attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction have been greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Kelsey, for all your hard work and support.

We're so excited to move into our new home.
We've had an amazing experience from start to finish. The communication from Kelsey has been great, and she is always happy to help with any queries we have, no matter how small.
Thank you.

We first visited Fiona at Story Homes in July 2025 and decided it wasn't the right time for us but Fiona was amazing and kept in touch and answered our queries without hesitation although we were not in a position to buy a house yet. In April 2026 we decided to take the leap and put our house on the market and pick our house in Summerpark. Fiona made the whole process so easy, making sure we had plenty of time to think over extras and get exactly what we had hoped for in our new house! We visited the showhome more times than I would like to admit but Fiona was always welcoming and nothing was a trouble, we brought multiple family members to visit too! Fiona kept us upto date with every step and was able to schedule different meetings to suit our working schedule. Jamie the site manager was also very helpful during the whole process, from our first meeting with him, to our Demo, and onto our snagging, he was amazing at getting things sorted for us! I could not recommend Fiona enough, she is a credit to Story's team, every visit was a pleasure!

5 bedroom was beautiful- very spacious. Fiona was very helpful in sharing details with us.

I would recommend Story Homes 100%.
Our journey with Story Homes has been fantastic from start to finish.
We have had 2 previous new build homes & both were horrendous; the quality of workmanship was extremely poor with major issues which dragged on for years.

We purchased our new home on the heritage field site in Tanfield. We chose the Harrison & we love it, the design is well thought out, even down to the positioning of the internal doors, eliminating slithers of architrave. I am a fully qualified tradesman with numerous skills & I have no hesitation in saying that the quality of the workmanship is well above standard. The property feels well built & of exceptional quality.
There were some minor snagging issues as expected, but these were quickly rectified.
(There will always be snagging issues, but there is a huge difference between snagging issues & poor quality workmanship)

The customer service from start to finish has been unprecedented, Stacy was amazing in sales with all her advice & Tommy the assistant site supervisor has been fantastic, he has went above & beyond, nothing has been too much trouble.

Buying your home is one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make, this has been the only time this has actually been a pleasurable experience for us.

Thanks Patrick & Julie

Great help from Fiona and Kendra. Lots of questions answered and support provided to get the ball rolling.

Purchasing a house with Story Homes has been such a positive experience and the best decision we’ve made! Our point of contacts have been Samantha Denham and Laura Evans who have been incredible! From when we first emailed them to enquire and now being at the stage where contracts have been exchanged, they’ve always responded promptly, they’ve been incredibly professional and always willing to help and answer any questions we have. Through the process, sometimes we would communicate with Laura and then sometimes with Samantha as we received updates and information and we really commend them on how well they work as a team as we never had any issues with miscommunication or feeling like they weren’t on the same page. We’re very grateful to Samantha, Laura and Story Homes for giving us such a stress free and positive experience!
