Sales director for David Wilson Homes South Midlands, Ronel Segar, comments: "Aspect is a truly special development that illustrates how carefully designed, sustainable housing can meet the ever changing needs of today's house hunters whilst still providing them with a practical and stylish home they want to live in.

Escape at Aspect

The four bedroom Escape home, which has been dressed in a stunning Oriental theme, has been uniquely designed to maximise the impact of natural light by utilising the concept of two storey ‘sun spaces'.

This innovative and modern take on the traditional window allows sunlight to flood into the home from floor to ceiling, creating a bright interior space and give an exciting and contemporary exterior. The ground floor of the ‘solar space' also opens out onto a patio and decking to extend the living space outdoors, whilst views of the stunning surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from the first and second floor bedrooms. Another stunning design feature of this home is the spacious roof garden which, equipped with a pergola and a veranda, stretches across the whole width of the Escape home extending the master bedroom living space outdoors.

In addition to luxury living, the Escape home offers a selection of industry leading eco-features, which not only mean that the home will adhere to Ecohomes excellent rating but will also help you to reduce your carbon footprint and preserve natural resources with minimum effort. Solar panels and rainwater recycling have both been incorporated into the design of the properties, whilst extra space has been included within the homes to make household recycling as easy as possible. High efficiency boilers and an advanced combustion fireplace which is powered by dry wood have also been selected for optimum energy conservation.

And when it comes to furnishing an eco-home small design details make a big difference. Top tips include laying carpets made of sustainable material, using energy efficient light bulbs and buying accessories from local companies to reduce the impact of emissions on the environment when transporting products. Not only that, but beautiful vintage furniture can easily be bought from vintage shops, an environmentally friendly way of reusing old materials.

Ideal location

The layout of the development itself also offers a sense of modern living by establishing a comfortable community that still retains the sanctuary of individual space. Thoughtfully designed, Aspect features safe, family friendly streets and green areas to ensure that all aspects of the development meet the high standards expected by prospective purchasers looking for that special place to call home.

Set near Northampton, the development is well placed for the town's amenities including local schools, supermarkets, pubs and shops. There also is a street market every week selling locally produced goods.

Just five minutes away, residents from Aspect will also benefit from all of the facilities at Sixfields, an entertainment area with a nine screen cinema, ten-pin bowling alley and a variety of shops. It's also home to the football stadium where league one Northampton Town are based.

Aspect is ideally placed for commuters; just a short drive to junction 15a of the M1, making it within easy reach of Birmingham, plus by train it only takes an hour to get to London Euston. For international links, Luton Airport is quickly accessible by the M1, and Birmingham International Airport is just a short train journey away.
