New show home creates double impact in Milton Keynes

What could be better than a fully furnished show home, which Redrow customers say is still the best marketing tool when it comes to choosing a brand new home? The answer is two fully furnished show homes - and that's what is now available to view at Redrow @ Broughton Manor, in Broughton, Milton Keynes.

Mary Timlin, sales director of Redrow Homes (South Midlands), says: "We conducted some research among visitors to our website and found that more than half of home hunters still consider a show home to be better than things like models, computer generated images and virtual fly-throughs. It seems that for some people you just can't beat the real thing.

"With that in mind we're delighted to have unveiled a second show home at our Broughton Manor venture to help would-be purchasers really visualise what life could be like in one of our homes."

The newly opened five-bedroom Gainsborough show home has been professionally designed and decorated to depict a desirable ‘every day' home for today's modern family. Blacks and creams have been used to create a stylish contemporary look and to give the home a real ‘wow' factor.

The Gainsborough is one of a new generation of homes that extend upwards with ‘rooms in the roof'; featuring two bedrooms and a bathroom in the cleverly converted roof space.

Mary adds: "By providing a ready made ‘loft conversion' we've added valuable extra space to create a truly versatile family home. It's the ideal ‘den' for older children or, when extra sleeping space isn't required, it's perfect as guest accommodation, a study, games room or gym."

To demonstrate this flexibility one of the show home's top floor bedrooms has been dressed as a music room, with feature wallpaper and a drum kit taking centre stage - plus the addition of a sofa bed to show how the room can meet a number of needs.

Like its partner, the Lynton four-bedroom detached show home opened earlier, the Gainsborough can be viewed daily from 10am to 5.30pm and, between them, these two stylish show homes promote a current selection of three, four and five-bedroom homes with prices from £249,995 to £464,995.

A five-bedroom detached Gainsborough with double garage, similar to the show home, is available from £459,995. There's a fantastic space running the full width of the back of this spacious property, comprising a fully fitted kitchen, breakfast area and family room with two sets of French doors onto the garden. There's also a separate lounge and formal dining room, first floor study and glamorous master bedroom with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe.

To see the Gainsborough in all its splendour, visit Redrow @ Broughton Manor, off Newport Road, Broughton. The village location offers proximity to beautiful countryside, easy access to junctions 13 and 14 of the M1 motorway and all the retail and leisure opportunities of Milton Keynes on the doorstep. Journey times by rail from Milton Keynes Central to London Euston are as little as 40 minutes.
