Keith OsborneCrest Nicholson has opened the doors to a brand new four-bedroom show home at Claybourne, its development within the idyllic rural village of Steeple Claydon, situated in the heart of Buckinghamshire.
The homes at Claybourne have views across the surrounding countryside and offer the very best of rural living, whilst also benefiting from plenty of amenities in the nearby towns and cities of Milton Keynes, Buckingham, Bicester, and Aylesbury.
To help home buyers secure their dream home, select properties are available to purchase with Crest Nicholson’s Part Exchange Scheme. A great choice for upsizers, growing families or those looking for a stress-free move, Part Exchange guarantees a cash buyer for movers’ existing homes and removes the risk of complicated chain delays. Not only does this speed up the buying process, but movers receive a fair market value price for their current property and can benefit from additional cost savings such as through the removal of agency fees during the process. Subject to approval, movers are also able to remain within their existing home until their new one is ready.
The four-bedroom ‘Dorking’ show home is split across two storeys and provides ample space for families to grow. On the ground floor, there is an open plan kitchen, plus a dining and family area, which stretches across the entire back of the house and provides French double doors leading out onto the garden. The ground floor also features a separate living room, ample storage space and a large hallway, plus a study, great for those who work from home. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, with the main bedroom and second bedroom featuring their own en suite bathrooms. The remaining two bedrooms share a well-proportioned family bathroom. The home has plenty of storage space, with fitted cupboards on the hallway, landing and a fitted wardrobe to the main bedroom.
This show home has been carefully dressed by leading interior designers Show Business, with countryside, family living in mind.
Sian Jenkins, client relationship director at Show Business, commented: “Our aim was to create a contemporary family home reflective of popular, modern interior design styles and the quality of the homes available here at Claybourne. “We’ve utilised a neutral colour scheme, with accents of deep chalky blues in varying tones and brighter pops of ochre and burnt orange, plus black to anchor all the colours. Our furniture choices include some key pieces such as a walnut and brass dining table, with a matching TV unit in the living room, that make the most of the Dorking’s spacious rooms. We imagine the family living here have brought these pieces with them when upsizing from their previous home, making the most of what they’ve already got with sustainability in mind. Throughout the scheme are bespoke pieces of artwork focused around the family living here – telling the story of their lives and making it feel homely.”
Charlie Joseph, sales and marketing director at Crest Nicholson Chiltern, said: “In the past few years, having a larger living space and access to green space have becoming high priorities for homeowners, and the homes on offer at Claybourne, within the rolling Buckinghamshire countryside, offer just that. Our Part Exchange scheme is perfect for those who are looking to upsize and get more space for their family, but we do also have a range of other initiatives on offer at Claybourne including our SmoothMove scheme and contributions towards buyers’ energy bills. Ideally located between Milton Keynes, Buckingham, Bicester, and Aylesbury, residents at Claybourne can enjoy the idyllic village lifestyle but still benefit from excellent amenities, transport options and schools.
