If you’ve been considering a move to a new home in Cumbria, now may be the perfect time to act. Two of our most popular developments – Newlands Estate in Braithwaite and Manor Farm near Thursby – are now approaching their final chapter. With only three homes remaining at Newlands Estate and just five homes left at Manor Farm, opportunities to become part of these unique communities are quickly disappearing.
Just outside the charming village of Thursby lies Manor Farm, a development created with a similar philosophy: homes that reflect the heritage of the area while meeting the needs of modern homeowners.
Manor Farm has quickly become a welcoming and established community. The homes here were carefully designed to blend with the rural surroundings, using materials and layouts that feel both timeless and practical.
Families have been drawn to the development thanks to its balance of peaceful countryside living and convenient access to nearby towns, making it ideal for commuters, growing families, and those looking for a quieter pace of life.
With only five homes remaining, Manor Farm is entering its final stage, and demand has been strong.
For buyers looking for a high-quality new home in a rural Cumbria setting, these last properties represent a rare opportunity.
Tucked away in the beautiful village of Braithwaite, Newlands Estate was designed with one idea in mind: creating homes that belong to the landscape and community around them.
From the very beginning, the vision was to build a small neighbourhood that captures the character of the Lake District while offering modern comfort and thoughtful design. The homes here combine traditional architectural details with contemporary layouts that suit modern family living.
Over the course of the development, Newlands Estate has grown into something special. Neighbours have become friends, families have settled into the rhythm of village life, and the development has become a natural part of the Braithwaite community.
Now, with only three homes remaining, the final opportunity to join this sought-after location is here.
Living in Braithwaite means waking up surrounded by some of Cumbria’s most beautiful scenery, with walking routes, local pubs, and the Lake District on your doorstep, while still enjoying the comfort and efficiency of a brand-new home.
Across both developments, our focus has always been the same: building homes that people genuinely love living in.
Every Willan Living property is designed with:
It’s this attention to detail that has made both Newlands Estate and Manor Farm such desirable places to live.
With just eight homes remaining across both developments, availability is extremely limited.
If you’ve been thinking about moving to Braithwaite, Thursby, or the wider Cumbria area, now is the time to act before these final homes are reserved.
