New show home ‘takes off' in Farnborough

A bold new show home has landed at a contemporary new development which is transforming the former site of the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough. Developers Redrow Homes will be opening the doors to the new ‘Hawker' style show home, named after the famous fighter aircraft which was developed and tested at the site, at Farnborough Central on Saturday and Sunday, January 17 and 18.

The modern four-bedroom townhouse has been designed with an eye-catching monochrome theme, which will inspire sophisticated professionals looking to make this unique development their home. The launch weekend will also see two revamped show homes unveiled, which have also been given striking new art deco style makeovers. There will also be a fantastic 15% discount available on apartments over the weekend.

The ‘Hawker' is a three-storey home with an impressive layout, including an open plan living and dining area, four good-sized bedrooms, two with en-suites, and a family bathroom. It is ideal for young professionals and families alike. The chic black and white décor complements the uncomplicated smooth lines created by Redrow's skilful interior designers, who have created a beautiful home that is both functional and luxurious.

In the living area, a black leather sofa suite stands out against a stunning monochrome feature wall, and echoes the glass and chrome dining table and black and white leather dining chairs. The French doors leading out to the rear of the home allow light to flood into the room.

The elegant theme continues through to the bedrooms, which feature textured wallpaper and luxuriant bed linen and soft furnishings to create sumptuous and relaxing rooms. They are kept contemporary with black, chrome and leather accessories.

Holly Finer, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), said: "We know that homebuyers want to see something tangible when they visit a development and at Farnborough we now have four superb show homes they can view. Each is stylishly decorated and furnished to inspire buyers to imagine themselves living at this fantastic development."

The 12-acre Farnborough Central will eventually feature a mix of 54 new townhouses, 85 refurbished apartments in two existing buildings of historic interest, plus 194 new-build apartments that will be sympathetically designed with art deco and modernist influences.

The wider site formerly comprised the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) and continues to be the home for the world famous Farnborough Aerodrome and the biennial Farnborough International Airshow, which attracts around 300,000 visitors every two years and celebrated its 60th anniversary earlier this year.

IQ Farnborough, next to the residential area, is one of the largest business development sites in the south east of England, with offices, a café, crèche and heritage centre. A four-star hotel, with leisure complex, is due to open in the near future.

Redrow's homes will be adjacent to the ‘heritage quarter' and alongside two of the most interesting aeronautical legacies of the former RAE - a pair of Grade 1 listed wind tunnel buildings, which are being restored by Segro (Slough Estates Group).

Prices for two-bedroom duplex apartments at Farnborough Central currently start from £199,950. There are also three and four-bedroom townhouses priced from £234,950. A Hawker style home, like the new show home, is priced from £284,950.

Prospective purchasers can get valuable support through ‘re:assure from Redrow', a range of help, advice and incentives, all of which are designed to make moving as easy as possible right through from the moment of first enquiry to after the customer has moved in. Redrow could even pay a 5% deposit.

The launch event takes place on Saturday and Sunday, January 17 and 18, between 10am and 5.30pm. For more details, log on to Redrow.co.uk.
