Show home inspired by ‘boutique hotel' chic

A chic boutique hotel-style show home has been unveiled in Bath to shine the spotlight on a prestigious new homes venture. Redrow Homes is inviting would-be home owners to ‘check in' at one of its highest ever specification show homes at Duodecim; an exclusive development of high-value homes in Poet's Corner, in the fashionable Bear Flat area of the historic Roman city.

The luxurious show house has been designed to suit the style of a professional couple looking for cutting-edge contemporary design in a light and relaxing home.

Sandra Hughes, sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), said: "Our team of professional interior designers have created a beautiful property using a colour-scheme of creams, whites and neutrals with warm charcoal accents. Impact has been created using fabulous dressing and artwork.

"Each room has an element that gives it the ‘wow' factor. The fully-fitted kitchen includes high-specification fridge-freezer, microwave, fitted oven, hob and wine cooler; all are accentuated with contemporary down-lighting. In the dining area there is an elegant mirrored wall and the light reflective theme is continued through to the glass and chrome dining table.

"The spacious dimensions of the lounge are further enhanced with large inviting sofas, mirrors and a glass table, while the stunning artwork is regency-themed with many pieces connected to the city of Bath.

Sandra adds: "Our designers have really gone to town in the bedrooms. The master bedroom makes a statement of true ‘boutique hotel' chic with the use of cream-colouring and mother-of-pearl furniture. The second bedroom has been transformed into a beautiful guest room."

Duodecim - named after the Latin for number 12 - is a development of a dozen stylish new homes.

Sandra added: "This is a beautifully-designed development within a small enclave of exclusive private dwellings. Each property has a private parking space, which is an advantage in a city such as Bath, where parking is at a premium. The usually redundant roof space of each property is being utilised to create a third floor of valuable living accommodation."

The impressive terrace of contemporary family homes, tailored to customers' individual requirements, where possible, is currently priced between £394,000 and £445,995.

Set in the vibrant community of Bear Flat and around a mile from the city centre, the new homes will have a host of enviable facilities nearby, including famous-name high street shops, excellent sports and fitness facilities and the Bath Theatre Royal.

The site is within walking distance of the train station and has excellent road links to Bristol, Wiltshire and the rest of the South West. There are also 14 schools within a two mile radius, making it an ideal location for families.

The homes are of a high quality and specification, built in local Ashlar Stone with timber sash windows in keeping with the Conservation Area setting, together with more contemporary glazing in some properties.

They also feature fully-fitted kitchens and bathrooms complete with desirable Villeroy and Boch fittings and Grohe taps. Every last detail has been thought of to give the homes a luxurious feel, down to integrated microwaves and wine coolers and fully landscaped rear gardens.

Properties are being marketed with Andrews Estate Agents. For more information log on to Redrow.co.uk.
