Customer case study: Why The Wilson was the perfect fit for family life

November 2025

Gavin and Vanessa, along with their two daughters Reeva and Myla and their Cavapoo dogs Teddy and Belle, moved into their Wilson home at Robinson Fields in July 2025.

The family were drawn to the development for its coastal location, proximity to North Shields, and the beautiful surrounding scenery.

We caught up with them to hear more about why they chose Robinson Fields, what they love most about The Wilson, and their experience of moving into a brand-new Story Home.

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

We love North Shields and Robinson Fields is in a perfect location, close to the coast which we love.

Which house type did you choose and why?

We chose The Wilson. Even though there wasn’t a show home of this house type, we loved the layout and knew it would work perfectly for our family, giving everyone their own space while still having plenty of room to spend time together.

What do you love most about your house type?

Honestly, everything! It’s literally our dream home. The kitchen/family area opens directly into the garden, making it perfect for summer days and family get-togethers. The lounge with the beautiful bay window is cosy yet spacious, and all four bedrooms are generous in size. Every detail works for us, and we couldn’t fault it.

Which room do you spend the most time in?

We’re using every room, which is exactly what we hoped for. The layout suits our family perfectly, but we especially love the kitchen/family area. In the summer, opening the bi-fold doors to enjoy the garden makes it feel like an extension of our living space.

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

We did look at a few second-hand homes in the area, but nothing came close to the combination of location, design, and quality that Robinson Fields and The Wilson offered. We loved the idea of a home that was move-in ready, with everything brand new.

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

We love that everything is brand new and under warranty. It’s also a blank canvas for us to make this our forever home.

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

No, we had heard about Story Homes’ reputation for high-quality builds and we’re so glad we made this choice.

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

Absolutely – we’ve had such a positive experience throughout the entire process and are thrilled with our new home. A huge thank you to everyone at Story Homes who have been amazing and made the whole journey even more enjoyable.
