Keith OsborneWhatHouse? Award-winning housebuilder Crest Nicholson has unveiled a brand new three-bedroom show home at its Highlands Park development, on the edge of the market town of Henley-on-Thames.
Situated within the heart of the Oxfordshire, Highlands Park offers town and country living, with many of the homes overlooking surrounding fields and open green space.
The three-bedroom ‘Hatfield’ show house is set across two storeys. On the ground floor is a kitchen/dining area, plus separate living room with direct access onto the private garden through French doors. There is also a handy storage cupboard and WC. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a further third single bedroom which could double up as a nursery or home office. The main bedroom comes complete with a fitted wardrobe and its own en suite, whilst the remaining two bedrooms share a well-proportioned family bathroom. The show home has been thoughtfully designed by leading interior designers Edward Thomas Interiors with couples and smaller families in mind, giving homeowners the opportunity to envisage themselves living at Highlands Park.
Andy Richardson, managing director at Edward Thomas Interiors, commented: “The three-bedroom show home at Highlands Park is designed with a natural sophistication. Colours and texture take inspiration from the outdoors including warm taupe, moss green and cream, alongside wooden or rattan furniture, boucle fabrics and splashes of gold in light fittings and accessories for a luxury finish.
“Our imaginary purchaser for this home was a single parent with teenage child, therefore styling has focused on functionality and multi-purpose space. For instance, in the living room, we installed a bespoke media wall with hidden storage, open shelving and an integrated working from home station. We also took some inspiration from Henley’s longstanding association with polo and styled one of the bedrooms to honour the sport, including wall mounted polo mallets as a decorative feature.
“Of course, with two double bedrooms and a further single bedroom, this home is equally ideal for a professional couple wanting a dedicated home office, a young family with a toddler, or an older couple looking for something easier to manage.”
Charlie Joseph, sales & marketing director at Crest Nicholson Chiltern, added: “Our Highlands Park development provides buyers with a fantastic opportunity to live in the historic town of Henley-on-Thames, which has recently been voted by The Times as one of the best places to live in the English countryside.
“There are plenty of schemes available to support buyers at Highlands Park. They include our Part Exchange scheme, which removes the chance of complex and unstable chain delays, guaranteeing a cash buyer for the mover’s existing home and streamlining the moving process; plus SmoothMove, which helps movers to find a buyer for a mover’s existing home. We are also offering contributions towards buyers’ energy bills or Stamp Duty costs. We’d recommend that potential purchasers get in touch with our sales team to find out more about the homes and the initiatives available.”
The picturesque town of Henley-on-Thames has everything residents need, including an array of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, and even a local art gallery, nestled amongst the town’s medieval streets. The Thames riverside is just two miles away from Highlands Park and the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty envelop the town.
Ideally suited to families, there are a number of schools within walking distance of Highlands Park. These include Badgemore Primary School and Gillots School, which are both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Plus, there are plenty more schools in neighbouring Reading, including Emmer Green Primary School, The Heights Primary School, and Caversham Primary and Preparatory Schools, all rated ‘Outstanding’.
