Double impact at Dickens Heath development

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’s Aquatude development, part of the lively and aspirational Dickens Heath village, near Solihull.

Pauline Turnbull, sales director of Redrow Homes (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 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 Aquatude venture to help would-be purchasers really visualise what life could be like in one of our fresh and modern apartments.”

The newest show home puts the spotlight on the fantastic selection of one-bedroom apartments that are available within Aquatude and likely to appeal to young professionals.

The property includes an open plan kitchen, living and dining area with fully integrated appliances and wood laminate flooring. Walls have been painted white as a pristine backdrop for the dark wood furniture and organic tones of olive green, brown and black, which create a contemporary living space.

The new show apartment contrasts perfectly with the white, grey and turquoise colour palette of the existing two-bedroom show home, giving prospective purchasers an alternative view of the space and layouts available and also how these sought-after properties can be styled.

Pauline adds: “The properties at Aquatude have universal appeal for young professionals, investors and even down-sizers looking for a contemporary new home that’s stylish, secure and easy to maintain. With two fully furnished show homes now available to view there are twice as many reasons to visit!”

Dickens Heath is a thriving new community, alongside the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal, just three miles from Solihull town centre and eight miles from Birmingham. There’s a wide range of housing for every need, a village centre with shops and restaurants, a library, medical centre and community hall, plus a primary school rated ‘outstanding’ in its most recent Ofsted report (Feb 2009).

Proximity to the M42 and M40 make it a commuter’s paradise, while trains to Birmingham Snow Hill take around 20 minutes from Solihull Station and Whitlocks End railway station is about a mile away with journey times to Stratford-upon-Avon of around 30 minutes.

Redrow currently has one-bedroom apartments with parking from just £109,995 and two-bedroom designs with a double parking space from £127,995. But hurry, with reservations being taken at a rate of two or three each week, it won’t be long before this popular development is all sold out.
