Raise a glass to a better value new home in Ebbw Vale

House buyers in Ebbw Vale are invited to celebrate the launch of two brand new luxurious and space-saving show homes. Next weekend (September 1st and 2nd), award-winning developer Redrow Homes will be celebrating the opening of two professionally designed and decorated, fully furnished show homes at its Cae Ffwrnais venture in the town.

Both the Neale and the Lambourne are perfect examples of the new generation of three-storey homes that are taking UK home owners by storm.

Houses that increase their floor space by going upwards instead of out are increasingly common, as planning guidelines promote the need for developers to be economic with their land. The result is homes that are full of character and, for home owners, offer more flexible choices on how the layout is used.

Debby Pavitt, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), says: “We’ve always known there are many advantages to three-storey living but a recent survey of our own customers, living in both two and three-storey homes, confirmed that these homes are perceived to be better value for money.

“They’re also suitable for buyers at all levels on the property ladder – from young families right through to ‘empty nesters’.”

Privacy is a major factor in the popularity of three-storey properties, with the versatility of a first floor living area offering parents some space away from the children – or an extra area for kids and teens to play games and do their homework. Of course, how to use the space is up to the owner to decide – so there’s the added bonus of being able to personalise a new property.

Debby adds: “It can be difficult to give older children their own space in a traditional two-storey home. Redrow’s three-storey Neale also benefit people who work from home, as unused bedroom accommodation on the top floor can often be used instead as a home office, helping to separate ‘home’ and ‘work’ lives.

“The Lambourne meanwhile uses the whole of its converted roof space as a sumptuous master bedroom with en-suite, giving the home owner a peaceful sanctuary away from the rest of the house.”

Both properties have been given a professional makeover by Redrow’s chosen interior design company, Connections in Design, who use colour, imagination and flair to create the impression of a lived-in family home.

In the Neale they’ve used a colour scheme of creams, chocolates and duck egg blue to create an inspirational family home, mixing classic and contemporary styles. The Lambourne is younger in style, displaying a vibrant mix of ivory, black and fuchsia pink and very modern design.

Would-be purchasers can have fun exploring the new show homes this weekend and join Redrow for a celebratory glass of bubbly.

They promote a range of new homes that includes one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom houses, with current prices from £129,995 to £219,995.
