Futuristic new home in eco-friendly location

17th February 2009 Print
Futuristic new home in eco-friendly location Miller Homes has unveiled a futuristic new house design at its eco-friendly ‘Unity Quarter’ development in Kersal, Salford. The evolutionary design of the ‘Strider’ 5 bedroom home makes it ideal for family living in the 21st century.

People looking for a traditional family home should still get excited by what is described as the ‘Art Modern’ architecture of the ‘Strider’. Evolution is better than revolution is the principle of this house design, that strikes the right balance between crisp clean lines and a more traditional structure.

Once inside, people won’t be disappointed as the balance between tradition and contemporary style continues. An L-shaped hall adds a touch of excitement as it arrives at the open plan kitchen and dining area. This space is designed for how modern families chose to live and is sure to become the heart of the home. French doors soften the barrier between inside and outside and offer a big view of the garden whilst brightening the space within. During warm days, alfresco dining or barbecues should become a frequent event for family and friends to enjoy.

At the front of the house the living room benefits from the large glazed façade with floor to ceiling square bay. This adds a sense of drama and enjoyment to this comfortable room.

On the first floor is the master bedroom with en-suite. Again, a floor to ceiling square bay window creates the focal point to the room. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4, along with a family bathroom, are also on this floor. Up on the second floor is the fifth bedroom with its own en-suite and featured dormer window. This is the perfect space when guests come to stay.

Besides getting a stylish new home, buyers will also get one that is energy efficient and ticks all the right environmental boxes. Miller Homes has been awarded a BREEAM Eco-Homes ‘Very Good’ rating for its properties at ‘Unity Quarter’.

BREEAM is the British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method. It is used to assess the environmental performance of new and existing buildings in the UK. The aim of BREEAM is to set standards for sustainable developments and to measure environmental performance.

With just two ‘Strider’ homes available, buyers won’t just get a new home that is different; the development also offers those used to living in the heart of a city an exciting change in lifestyle. ‘Unity Quarter’ has all the advantages of city living, with the benefits of suburbia. Convenient for Prestwich village, the M60 and Manchester city centre, ‘Unity Quarter’ has something for everyone. Shops, restaurants and leisure facilities are on hand and the development is ideally located for commuting.

Conceived and developed to foster a sustainable community, the homes at ‘Unity Quarter’ are centred around a village green. There are also ‘Homezone’ routes, an innovative way of giving priority to pedestrians. Bounded to the south by sloping woodland and having panoramic views over Manchester and Salford, ‘Unity Quarter’ gives buyers the best of 21st century living.

Prices for the ‘Strider’ start at £259,950.

The Unity Quarter Marketing Suite, on Oaklands Road, Kersal, Salford, is open every day from 10.30am to 5.30pm. For more information log on to Millerhomes.co.uk.
