Oakmere Home Advisors Track Record

The Directors track history dates back more than 30 years through Merewood and Crowther Homes, which were building 350 homes per year when Persimmon bought the companies out. More information can be found on the About Us pages.

Our more recent Track record includes:

Barrow Brook Business Village

This land was designated as employment land, but hadn't attracted interest for over 20 years. Oakmere® assisted the landowner as a partner and obtained planning permission on the land. There were three phases, totalling 18 acres.

The Oaks at Longtown

The Oaks used to be an old sawmill. We entered into an option agreement with the landowner and promoted it through the planning process, successfully obtaining planning permission.

Barkers Primrose Nursery, Clitheroe

We purchased this land, subject to an overage clause, subject to planning. This was just before a moratorium was planned on a new development in the area. It was several years later before the moratorium was lifted and we successfully obtained planning permission, giving the previous owners an uplift in value.

This desirable location enjoys the famously scenic surroundings and numerous lifestyle attractions which characterise the popular South Lakeland locality. It's a suitably prestigious setting for Strawberry Fields, the latest luxury development of superior 4 bedroom detached houses from Oakmere Homes. Nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty between two unique National Parks and close to the many amenities of Kendal centre, Strawberry Fields benefits from the best of town and country. Adjacent to open countryside, with panoramic views across the fells, the development is an ideal commuter base, just 2 minutes' walk from Oxenholme Railway Station with it's West Coast Main Line links to Manchester, Birmingham, London, Carlisle, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Within just 5 minutes via road are Sizergh Castle National Trust Estate, Low Sizergh Barn farm shop, historic Levens Hall and Gardens and the Lake District. The M6 is only 10 minutes' drive away, providing fast connections to leisure destinations and commercial centres including Penrith and Carlisle to the north and Lancaster to the south. Windermere is only 10 miles away by car and connects directly to the nearby West Coast Mainline station, Oxenholme. Education is an important factor for a family choosing a new home and Kendal provides a range of options to give your children the best opportunities.
