Show Home Room By Room: Little Saddles, Shenley

London developer Amara Property has launched its latest residential development, Little Saddles, with the opening of a dedicated show home onsite in the Hertfordshire village of Shenley.

Set within a private gated community, the collection of luxury four-bedroom detached and semi-detached homes in individual house types, with unique exterior designs combining a mixture of red brick, wood panelling and white stucco cladding. Complete with private manicured front and rear gardens, as well as private garages and off-street parking, each home features open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces and individual garages.

Expertly displayed within the dedicated show home, two interior design choices, ‘Classic’ and ‘Contemporary’, are available to suit a buyer’s personal tastes and needs. The ‘Classic’ palette tastefully combines soft light colours with natural material choices, whilst the Contemporary palette provides bold colours with a clean design that is reflective of the bespoke Amara Property style.

The ‘Classic’ homes feature graphite and cashmere Shaker-style Hacker kitchens with Quartz Calacatta Gold stone worktops, grey parquet herringbone style flooring and dark grey internal doors. The bathrooms include black tap and shower frames with marble effect tiling throughout.

The ‘Contemporary’ homes are characterised by black steel and white matt modern-style Hacker kitchens with Nuevo Spring stone worktops and grey mirrored splashbacks, wenge flooring and medium grey internal doors and stone-effect tiled bathrooms.

Following the typical layout of a Little Saddles house, the show home is accessed via a large entrance hallway, complete with ample hidden storage cupboards, which leads onto a spacious reception/living room.

Bathed in natural light through a wide bay window, the reception/living room also includes a bio ethanol fireplace and built-in Sonos speakers.

Across the hallway is a private study, with an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living room are present at the rear of the ground floor. The kitchen provides integrated state-of-the-art Bosch and Samsung appliances with a kitchen island doubling as a breakfast bar/food prep station. Suspended above the dining room table is a dimmable chandelier, adding a touch of sparkle to the room, whilst the family/living area offers the perfect breakout area with built-in ceiling Sonos speakers across the whole space.

Large bifold doors lead onto the landscaped garden, whilst a utility room/pantry and guest cloakroom are also present on the ground floor. The second floor comprises the main living quarters, with a master bedroom suite, guest bedroom suite and two further bedrooms adjacent to a large family bathroom.

Each home at Little Saddles has been built to be as energy efficient and sustainable as possible, with air source heat pumps, EcoSlide wood grain windows and underfloor heating throughout.

Rutu Buddhdev, managing director at Amara Property, commented: “The launch of Little Saddles is a huge milestone for Amara Property. We have planned this development for a long time and believe it provides an offering unmatched in the local area. This past year has seen a real shift in what people are looking for from their homes and how space is valued even more. The homes here are sizeable, secure and have a community feel, whilst still being within reasonable distance of London.”

Lee Martin, at imagine land & new homes, the appointed sales agents for Little Saddles, added: “The design and layout of these homes take the new-build offering here to a whole new level and with only eight homes available there is a real sense of exclusivity at Little Saddles. Two homes have already been reserved and we see the remainder being popular with those looking for a statement home in London’s green belt.”

Located just off Radlett Lane, Little Saddles is on the outskirts of Shenley, a picturesque village in Hertfordshire, just under an hour from central London. Close to the development are some of the country’s finest Primary and Secondary Schools with the renowned old Manor Lodge and Haberdasher’s Aske’s Boys Schools are located just a stone’s throw away.

Homes at Little Saddles start from £950,000. Find out more at www.littlesaddles.co.uk or from imagine land & new homes.
