Anvil Homes has secured a hefty £4.2 million funding package from Paragon Development Finance to support its nine-home new build development in Hayton, Cumbria.

Anvil Homes is a family business, established back in 1994, that specialises in high-end properties across Northern England. The company has placed its focus on rural living and using traditional materials to produce individual homes.

Alistair Carr, director at Anvil Homes, said: “This is a beautiful development in a lovely part of the country. The residents will benefit not just from the village and rural location, but also the close proximity to Carlisle and good transport links.”

“Paragon was extremely easy to deal with. They understood our requirements and the process was smooth and simple. We’re looking forward to completing this development and welcoming the first owners into their new homes.”

Mick Howard added: “Anvil is a company that prides itself on quality, delivering high-end, intelligently designed homes that are loved by their owners. The development has been designed to be sympathetic to the local area and it will achieve exactly that, complementing the existing properties in Hayton.”
