October 2026
We’re celebrating another milestone at Story Homes, having secured the prestigious 5 Star Award for Best Developer Website at the 2026 UK Property Awards – for the fifth consecutive year.
Our continued success reflects our commitment to staying ahead of the curve, with ongoing investment in our website to create a more engaging, interactive and seamless homebuying experience.
The latest win follows a series of improvements to our website, including an enhanced Customer Account area, greater use of video content and more interactive features designed to help buyers explore our homes and developments in greater detail.
With a mobile-first approach to design, we’ve also focused on delivering a smooth, intuitive experience across devices, making it easier than ever for customers to discover their dream home, wherever they are.
And the celebrations didn’t stop there. We picked up a further two awards at the prestigious London ceremony, completing an impressive hat-trick of wins:
These additional accolades recognise our commitment to quality, design and attention to detail, from the overall layout and character of our developments to the carefully curated interiors of our show homes.
At Ashwood Grange in Middleton St George, the award recognises the quality of the overall development, while The Cranford show home at The Fairways in Penrith impressed judges with its stylish interiors and thoughtfully designed living spaces.
Hayley Blair, Operations Director at Story Homes Cumbria & Scotland, said:
“Winning Best Developer Website for the fifth consecutive year is an incredible achievement, and one we’re particularly proud of. The way people search for and buy homes is constantly evolving, and we’re determined to stay ahead of the curve.
“We’ve continued to invest in our digital experience, introducing new features, improving functionality and making it easier for customers to explore everything Story Homes has to offer. We’re not interested in standing still, and this recognition is a fantastic endorsement of that approach.
“To also be recognised for the quality of our developments and show home interiors makes this a real hat-trick of success, and a testament to the hard work and creativity of our teams.”
Following our 5 Star Award win, we’ll now progress to the European Property Awards, where we’ll compete against some of the continent’s leading property developers for further recognition on an international stage.
These latest wins add to our growing list of industry accolades and reinforce our commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience, both online and in person.
With developments progressing across the North of England and Southern Scotland, we’re continuing to invest in the design, innovation and quality that set our homes – and the wider homebuying experience – apart.
