Home is where the heart is at Christmas

According to research from leading charity Mind, despite the much-hyped notion that people dread the expense, the excess and the annual arrival of in-laws, the ideal Christmas for most (70 per cent) will be spent celebrating at home with relatives.

Whilst a big family Christmas is an ideal, there is always the question of space but this year housebuilder Bovis Homes has the perfect solution; it is currently marketing a range of expansive four and five bedroom family homes at its Warren’s Croft development in Spencer’s Wood near Reading, Berkshire with so much space there is enough room for the whole the family to come and stay.

The Faulkner, The Melville and The Hartleigh house types currently available at the development combine attractive traditional architecture with fresh modern living spaces that are ideal for today’s hectic family lifestyles. Spanning three floors the ground floor accommodations are ideal for entertaining, especially at Christmas. All homes feature a large family eat-in kitchen, a separate traditional dining room along with a spacious sitting room and a guest cloakroom. The Melville also features a handy utility room.

The first floors of all the homes are dedicated to the sleeping accommodation and incorporate three or four spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom. The two larger bedrooms on this level also incorporate an ensuite shower room making them ideal for staying guests.

In addition, all homes include an office/studio on the top floor that could be a dedicated sitting room accompanying the guest suite or attentively provide more guest sleeping accommodation to house visiting family over the Christmas period.

All the homes at Warren’s Croft are finished to a high-specification; kitchens feature a stylish range cooker, an integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Bathrooms, ensuites and cloakrooms are complete with smart white sanitaryware with stainless steel fittings.

Warren’s Croft incorporates plenty of open space making it the ideal location to raise a growing family. In addition, the development is surrounded by picturesque open-fields and yet is just a few miles from all the facilities that Reading has to offer.

David Thomas, Sales and Marketing Director at Bovis Homes South East region commented: “Christmas is an ideal time of year for the whole family to get together under one roof. The larger family homes at Warrens Croft are perfect because there is enough room for everyone to stay and make the most of the extra space. With a plentiful supply of bathrooms and ensuite facilities there is no need for long queues in the morning either! For homebuyers looking to upsize to a larger property there really is no better time to be buying as homes like these have never been such good value.”
