Northumberland housebuilder Cussins is set to ramp up its developments across the region after sealing a £14m finance deal.
The Alnwick company, led by Peter Cussins and his son, CEO Jabin Cussins – the third generation of the Cussins family to run the business – can trace its roots back to the 1920s and specialises in homes of all sizes in developments across Newcastle and Northumberland, including smaller house types to make the firm’s homes accessible to a wider market. Cussins currently builds 130 homes per year on six sites, from Darlington in the south of the region to North Northumberland, building two to five-bedroom family homes in rural and semi-rural locations, but also more contemporary riverside apartments and homes.
Properties are finished to a high standard, both internally and externally, primarily using traditional heritage brick, natural sandstone and slate. The business, the longest established housebuilder in the region, has now received the increased funding of £14m from Lloyds Bank, enabling it to grow faster, increasing the number of properties it builds per year and allowing access to larger schemes which offer improved continuity.
