About Oakmere

Building Quality Homes & Communities for Over 40 Years

For more than four decades, Oakmere has been designing and building high-quality homes across Cumbria and Lancashire. Under the leadership of our founder, Gary Middlebrook, we’ve grown from a local housebuilder into a trusted name known for craftsmanship, care and long-standing commitment to the communities we build in.

At Oakmere, we believe a home should offer more than just a place to live — it should provide comfort, security and a foundation for memories that last a lifetime.

Our Story

Oakmere began with a simple vision: to build well-designed, beautifully crafted homes that people are proud to own. Over the years, our dedication to quality and customer service has remained at the heart of everything we do.

Our Values
