From blank canvas to dream home: Sophie’s Ferguson journey

May 2025

Sophie moved into her Ferguson home in August 2021. With its spacious layout, light-filled rooms, and standout design features, it quickly became the perfect place for her growing family.

She shares her home journey over on Instagram at @ferguson_at_no5, where she’s been documenting how she’s made the space her own and why the Ferguson has been the ideal fit for modern family living.

Read our Q&A to find out more.

Kitchen at The Ferguson, four bedroom detached Story Home.

What drew you to The Ferguson?

“We absolutely loved the open-plan living at the back of the house, especially the glazed bay window with French doors – it was something we hadn’t seen before. The layout is perfect for hosting friends and family, and with four bedrooms, there’s plenty of space for us to grow into.”

What do you love most about your home?

“How light and airy it feels, particularly in the living room. The bay window floods the space with natural light – it makes every day feel bright and welcoming.”

Which room do you spend the most time in?

“The kitchen/family area is where we spend most of our time. It flows beautifully into the garden, making it ideal for everyday family life and entertaining alike.”

Did you consider a second hand property?

“Yes, we did. But most second hand homes needed redecorating or renovating, and we really wanted to move in and start living straight away – no hassle, no delays.”

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

“It’s a blank canvas. We’ve loved putting our own stamp on it and turning it into a true family home. It’s exciting to start fresh with a space that reflects our style.”

Why did you choose Story Homes over other builders?

“There were a few builders on our development, but Story Homes stood out immediately. The quality of the homes, the attention to detail, and what comes included – it felt like there was no competition.”

Would you recommend Story Homes to others?

“100% – we love our home! We’ve already recommended them to friends and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.”
