The latest place to be eating dinner is your own home!

While television chefs are constantly on our screens proving how easy it is to rustle up a little something in the kitchen, it is of no surprise that more and more of us are hitting the kitchens to ‘whip up’ a culinary delight for a bit of entertaining of our own.

It is with this in mind that award winning Banner Homes has built Hermitage Green situated on Long Lane, which provides the ideal properties for entertaining friends and families.

According to a recent report, despite pessimists wanting us to believe that society is falling apart and we are becoming an increasingly less sociable nation, eating together with friends at home is alive and well and indeed is becoming the new trend.

Nicki Dennis, Sales & Marketing Director for Banner Homes Wessex says; “With people’s lives becoming more hectic, it is of little surprise that individuals are searching for more power in their lives. The home is one place where we have absolute control over our surroundings and indeed what we do, so it is know wonder that people in the UK are increasingly turning to their homes as a source of entertainment and sanctuary from the stresses of everyday life.

“At Banner Homes we understand that people are now keen to stay at home and enjoy their properties. That’s why we pride ourselves on providing modern functional kitchens, the latest hi-tech equipment and information systems, as well as the space in which to enjoy them. Only a few properties remain at Hermitage Green which is due for completion by the end of May, so its worth making a visit to the site to avoid disappointment.”

The kitchens of our detached houses at Hermitage Green have granite worktops, recessed downlights, under unit lighting and stainless steel appliances. Technology features in the property include: specialist CAT5 cabling allowing up to three digital phone lines at each access point, dual TV/FM sockets and telephone sockets in all major rooms and all homes are wired to include a ‘loop’ system that will allow the picture output from a video or DVD player to be viewed in all rooms fitted with a TV socket.

Hermitage Green is a collection of 70 two, three, four and five bedroom houses and apartments in the popular village of Hermitage, five miles North East of Newbury, Berkshire. The development is set back from a tree-lined road and surrounded by open countryside in rural Berkshire and includes a variety of contemporary house styles, from detached five bedroom homes to apartments, to suit most ages and lifestyles. There is a wide range of interiors and exteriors to choose from, arranged in attractive terraced street scenes.

Despite the seclusion of Hermitage Green, the development is far from isolated, with Junction 13 of the M4 approximately two miles away and the A34 trunk road within easy reach. Newbury mainline station has journey times of under an hour into London’s Paddington station, and international travel is easy via Heathrow and Gatwick airports on the M25 London Orbital. All of which makes the development a perfect location for those seeking peace and quiet at home with straightforward access to the urban centres and beyond.

Prices start from £210,000 and rise to £610,000. For further details, visit bannerhomes.co.uk.
