Housebuilder Story Homes has cemented its position as a leader in digital innovation after securing the prestigious 5 Star Award for Best Developer Website at the 2026 UK Property Awards – for the fifth consecutive year.
The Carlisle-headquartered housebuilder’s continued success reflects its commitment to staying ahead of the curve, with ongoing investment in its website to create a more engaging, interactive and seamless homebuying experience.
The latest win follows a series of improvements to the Story Homes website, including an enhanced Customer Account area, greater use of video content and more interactive features designed to help buyers explore its homes and developments in greater detail.
With a mobile-first approach to design, the website has also been developed to deliver 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. Story Homes picked up a further two awards at the prestigious London ceremony, completing an impressive hat-trick of wins:
- Best Residential Development in Durham – Ashwood Grange, Middleton St George
- Best Residential Interior in Cumbria – The Cranford show home at The Fairways, Penrith
The additional accolades recognise the housebuilder’s commitment to quality, design and attention to detail, from the overall layout and character of its developments to the carefully curated interiors of its 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, 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 its 5-Star Award win, Story Homes will now progress to the European Property Awards, where it will compete against some of the continent’s leading property developers for further recognition on an international stage.
The latest wins add to Story Homes’ growing list of industry accolades and reinforce its commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience, both online and in person.
With developments progressing across the North of England and Southern Scotland, Story Homes continues to invest in the design, innovation and quality that set its homes – and the wider homebuying experience – apart.
