Homes That Are Practically Perfect in Every Way

With the highly anticipated release of Mary Poppins Returns on 21 December, WhatHouse? has put together a selection of new homes with links to the classic film. From grand houses like the Banks' residence, to developments with familiar names, these properties are practically perfect in every way...

Carriage Court (GO Homes)

Premium housebuilder GO Homes is harnessing the quintessential style that characterises the classic film. Built in the grand style of the Banks residence, Carriage Court boasts striking Regency-Georgian design features.  Like the workplace of the world’s most famous nanny, traditional balconies, period iron court fence panels and traditional sash windows create striking exteriors. Cleverly embodying aspects of British architectural heritage, the homes provide buyers with a contemporary twist, much like the sequel’s modern take on the original classic. Carriage Court features six stunning historical conversions (plots 8-13) characterised by their immaculate imitation of Georgian and Regency architecture. Like their original counterparts, their elegant architectural style and spatially generous rooms make the ultimate family residence.

Oliver Hookway, CEO of GO Homes, comments: “We're big fans of this era at GO. Mary Poppins evokes nostalgia no matter what your age because the distinctive Georgian style home the Banks family live in becomes a warm and special place. Families come in all different shapes and sizes now and the design features of a Georgian style building create wonderful homes for them to thrive in."

Perfect for professional families, the development is a six-minute journey away from Hertford East train station, where homebuyers can connect to Moorgate, London King’s Cross and London Liverpool Street in under an hour. Equally as accessible by car, Carriage Court is situated just off the A10, where residents can connect to the M25, encircling almost all of Greater London, in under 30-minutes.

Prices at Carriage Court start from £465,000 for a two-bedroom house and the Help to Buy scheme is available on a selection of properties.

Regents Green (Spitfire Bespoke Homes)

Spitfire Bespoke Homes’ new development Regents Green is an exclusive collection of 44 homes designed to complement the surrounding Regency architecture in Royal Leamington Spa. Regents Green has taken inspiration from John Nash, known as the father of Regency architecture. Traditional verandas, balconies, and iron-work are a nod to the classic architectural detailing, whilst modern touches and thoughtful details ensure that these homes stand the test of time.

Comprising a variety of detached houses, terraced homes, townhouses and apartments, there are properties to suit all tastes. Set around a central green with views of the neighbouring fields, each home complements the other, creating a sense of place amongst their grand, characterful surroundings. All of the homes feature the high-quality interior specification for which Spitfire is renowned. Kitchens are individually designed, with hand painted solid oak cabinetry, coordinating stone worktops and glass splashback, whilst bathrooms feature white contemporary sanitary ware by Villeroy & Boch with polished chrome fittings by Hansgrohe. Each home also benefits from a wood burning stove, making homes inviting and cosy throughout the winter months.

Regents Green is situated on an attractive tree-lined avenue in North Leamington Spa, ideally located to enjoy all that this prosperous town has to offer. Prices currently start from £360,000 for a three-bedroom terraced house.
