‘Staged Home’ Opens At Hampshire Development
Bargate Homes has opened the doors to a show home at its Hamblewood scheme, located in the well-connected Hampshire town of Hedge End.
The development features a collection of 123 family homes and apartments, which are now ready to move into. Located off Heath House Lane and with just 42 private homes remaining for sale, the site has already experienced a lot of interest from prospective buyers. Prices for the three- and four-bedroom family houses range from £385,000 to £460,000.
With interiors staged by Hampshire-based company Little Barn Door, the newly furnished show suite is a three-bedroom ‘Ivy’ semi-detached house, which will become available to buy for £385,000. Spanning 940 sq ft across two floors, there are 19 of these homes on the development. The versatile floor plan and the liveability of the property makes it perfect for either a young family, or professional couple.
Andrew French, sales and marketing director of Bargate Homes, said: “This beautifully staged home at Hamblewood will enable prospective buyers to view a fully furnished three-bedroom Ivy house and experience the potential of the space. With the cost of renting continuing to rise, the range of available homes at Hamblewood offers those looking to climb onto or up the property ladder an opportunity to move into a brand-new home of their own within a matter of months. Reservations are currently being taken, with local people and those keen to move to Hedge End snapping up their preferred house design and plot.
“In line with Bargate Homes’ commitment to the environment, the high specification exceeds building regulations. These beautiful homes offer refined contemporary living and creature comforts such as underfloor heating, stylish kitchens and bathrooms, and a choice of quality flooring options included as standard.”
Natalie Evans, founder of Little Barn Door Home Staging, said: “The beauty of a staged home is that it shows how the space can be lived in and used. The interior of the home has nods to the ancient forest opposite the development from the wooden furniture and the green shaker kitchen, which is paired with earthy tones, matt black iron fittings, and contemporary art. It has been wonderful to work with Bargate Homes to create this relaxed interior and we look forward to creating more staged homes with the team in the future.”
On entering the house, you are met with a spacious kitchen/diner, with integrated Neff cooking appliances, fridge-freezer, and a utility. The hallway has space for storage and leads onto a large living room at the back of the property, which has French doors leading onto a turfed garden and patio. The first floor has three bedrooms, two of them being large doubles – one with an en suite, and the third being a single room, ideal for a nursery or home office. There is a large family bathroom with a shower bath with Porcelanosa tiles, which are part of the standard specification.
The show home’s interior is inspired by the forest surroundings and features contrasting textures throughout, such as iron and wood, seagrass, and velvet. The colour palette consists of earthy browns and deep oranges, turquoise and royal blues, and tonal sage greens. Black iron paired with wood also features heavily in each room, which hint at the popular current trends of industrial interior design. Soft furnishings, such as throws and cushions have been added to each room.
The homes are being constructed to EPC-B standards, enabling purchasers to benefit from Green Mortgage rates. Google Nest learning thermostats, electric vehicle car chargers, and fibre broadband, are installed as standard.
Car parking is either provided on plot, via driveways and garage spaces, or within shared parking courtyards. Visitor parking bays will be dispersed across the site, and there will be ample secure cycle storage to encourage cycle ownership and usage.
New public open spaces will be created across the development, enhancing the character of the area, and delivering both recreational and ecological benefits. Green buffer zones will be created along the southern boundary to provide a valuable amenity function and retain and enhance local wildlife corridors. There will also be native tree and shrub planting to benefit local bird populations. Bat and bird boxes will be installed within the walls of new dwellings.
