Bellway Homes has launched a brand new show home at its Repton Gate development in Woodford Bridge, Essex. Situated in a quiet leafy location, the stunning collection of four bedroom homes are ideal for growing families looking for more space. The show home is specially designed to illustrate modern family life, and Bellway is encouraging potential purchasers to visit and see the wonderful interiors of the Hornbeam show house.

Speaking about the new show home at Repton Gate, Peter Knights, Sales Director of Bellway Homes Thames Gateway said: “The interiors of a show home are key, as it enables purchasers to picture themselves living there. Buyers may be put off by an empty home, so being able to see how a space works, how furniture can fit in the room allows potential buyers to see their family there. We’d encourage people to visit, see the interiors themselves, and imagine living in this lovely development.”

Amie Reeves of Show Business Interiors, the designers of Repton Gate’s show home, explains: “We took our brief from the local area and surrounding house types. The three storey townhouse style is ideal for families, and we wanted to reflect that in the design of the show home. They’re traditional homes with a modern twist, achieved by use of reflective surfaces against pastel colours.”

She expands: “The whole house has a white base, with accents of aqua and soft pink, black furniture and metallic finishes. The open plan ground floor is ideal for family living so we placed the dining table in the middle of the room in order to bring the kitchen and living areas seamlessly together. It’s modern, yet encompasses traditional elements so that it feels ‘lived in’, with soft furnishings and a muted palette.”

“The bedrooms are all designed with a particular family member in mind. The master bedroom suite, which has an en suite and fitted wardrobes, has an understated elegance to it. Mirrored furniture makes a grand statement, while the luxurious bed adds warmth to the grey colour scheme. We imagined this family to have two children, the first being a teenage boy, and we designed his room to reflect his edgy personality, such as feature wallpaper with bold stripes and skateboards.

“The piece de resistance however is the bedroom for the little girl. With a specially designed mural depicting the Disney film ‘Frozen’, white and silver furniture and an icy crystal chandelier, the room is fit for a snow princess.”

Providing well thought out space for the growing family, the four bedroom, three storey Hornbeam house type is priced from £489,995. Boasting a high specification, the homes at Repton Gate have stylish and contemporary fitted kitchens with integrated appliances such as fridge freezer and dishwasher. Roca white sanitaryware with chrome taps, heated towel rails and ceramic tiled flooring make the bathrooms cool and modern.

Repton Gate is well placed for an excellent range of local amenities, including well regarded independent and state schools for all ages, shops such as Waitrose and M&S Simply Food, as well as Tesco and Sainsbury's superstores. Nearby Claybury Park offers a beautiful and tranquil parkland and ancient woods to explore, or historic Epping Forest is six miles away. Woodford and Chigwell Golf courses are both popular and challenging, perfect for the golf enthusiasts.

Whether for leisure or work, Repton Gate provides easy access into the capital for commuters. The development is a short drive or 30 minutes’ walk to Woodford underground station, where Central Line trains to Stratford take just 13 minutes and Liverpool Street in just 21 minutes. The M11 is located nearby as well with connections to the M25.

Prices for four bedroom homes at Repton Gate start from £489,995, and many are available with the Government backed Help to Buy scheme. For more information, visit bellway.co.uk.
