x171682_Cussins_HS_inset_p14_sw.indd 15 30/03/2017 10:14 QUALITY & EXPERTISE Why choose Cussins?

Ever since the first Cussins home was built in 1922 by Philip Cussins when he was just 16 years old, the name has been synonymous with style and quality. Among Philip’s achievements was the first private purpose-built apartment building in the North East, Moor Court in Gosforth followed by the nearby Montagu Court. When Philip’s son Peter returned to the North East after a stint in the city, the family firm was back in business, building Gosforth’s Greystoke Park, where properties were swiftly snapped up by Newcastle United footballers and which still remain one of the region’s most prestigious addresses. Peter is joined on the board by his son, Jabin, who is continuing Cussins reputation for high-build quality and architectural excellence. Today Cussins continues to follow the principles first established by Philip in 1922; premium build quality, design excellence and customer focus. Locations are carefully selected to ensure that our homes offer a secure long term investment for our buyers. All projects are individually designed by carefully selected architects, with meticulous care and attention applied during the planning phase. This ensures that on completion, our developments are enjoyable places to live and both complement and enhance the local area. To maintain the high quality standards we are renowned for, we employ our own team of skilled craftsmen many who have been with us most of their working career. Investing in high quality materials and energy efficiency ensure that our homes are cost effective to live in and continue to look good for many years to come. Jabin launched Cussins’ flagship development, The Limes, in Alnwick and has now overseen developments across Northumberland; Fenwick Park in Longframlington, Morwick Gardens in Warkworth, Wilding Grove in Longhorsley and Creighton Place in Embleton. The history of Cussins spans three generations and many thousands of happy homeowners. Although we are proud of this heritage, it is the continued commitment of our team to delivering premium quality, well designed homes that sets us apart.
