About the company
Story Homes develops private residential properties in Northern England and Southern Scotland by acquiring land and then planning, building, and selling high-spec homes, ranging from 3-bedroom semi-detached to 6-bedroom detached houses. It uses a Strategic Land division to identify future sites 5–15 years ahead, feeding a steady pipeline of developments delivered under the Story built brand. Its edge comes from a proven focus on land-led growth, a strong reputation for quality, and industry recognition, including UK Property Awards and a five-star rating from the Home Builders Federation. The company’s goal is to provide aspirational, well-located homes and to expand its land pipeline so it can continuously deliver high-quality homes across its region.
