Customer case study: from show home to dream home – The Butler at Robinson Fields

November 2025

Emma, her husband Lewis, Lewis’s son Karlton, and their three Labradors moved into their Butler home at Robinson Fields in August 2025.

The family were drawn to the development for its spacious layout, proximity to family, and access to Tynemouth’s beaches.

We caught up with them to hear why The Butler was the perfect choice.

What made you choose the Robinson Fields development? What do you like most about the location?

We lived nearby and had driven past Robinson Fields numerous times. We loved the look of the development, the house types, and the spacing between the homes. It’s ideally located for Karlton’s school, our families, and easy access to Tynemouth and local beaches. Plus, there are fields surrounding the estate where we can walk our Labradors all the way to Backworth – it’s perfect for us.

Which house type did you choose and why?

We weren’t actively looking to move, but when we visited the show homes we instantly fell in love with The Butler. The floor plan and layout were perfect, all the rooms upstairs are a great size, and the exterior has real kerb appeal.

What do you love most about your house type?

Our master bedroom and en-suite – they absolutely sold the house to us!

Which room do you spend the most time in?

The living room. It’s where we chill with the dogs and the only room with a TV, so it naturally became the family hub.

Did you consider a second-hand property? If yes, why did you choose new?

We previously owned and renovated a house, but we loved the idea of being the first occupants of a brand-new home. The house came ready to move in with features like solar panels and an electric car charging point, which were big pluses.

What do you like most about living in a new build?

Everything is done for us! The house was already painted in Jasmine White, so we haven’t needed to do any decorating. Minor tweaks aside, it’s move-in ready and stress-free.

Did you consider other housebuilders and if yes, why did you choose Story Homes?

No, we stumbled across this one and are so glad we did!

Would you recommend, or have you already recommended Story Homes?

Yes, 100%! From enquiry through to completion and beyond, Story Homes has been amazing. The sales team were so helpful, and the builders quickly addressed any snags – though we had very few. We’ve already recommended Story Homes to others.
