Buyer finds inspiration at Kings Park, Cippenham

Lawrence Cronin loved the ‘Hawthorn’ showhome at Taylor Wimpey’s Kings Park development so much, he’s recreated the interior in his brand new home.

The 70-year-old has snapped up his own three-bedroom ‘Hawthorn’ at the leading housebuilder’s brand new development in Cippenham, Berkshire, after being inspired by the showhome’s fabulous design and styling.

Lawrence says: “I was so taken by the showhome and how it looked inside, I tried to get my house as near to it as possible, choosing the same carpets and most of the same fixtures and fittings - I just can’t wait to move in now.

“The ‘Hawthorn’ is a lovely house, it has everything you need. I have opted to have a conservatory on mine, but with a fabulous top-floor suite, there’s nothing you need to do to it. It’s a complete home.”

The interior of the sumptuous three-bedroom ‘Hawthorn’ showhome features an appealing teal blue colour scheme that really struck a chord with house-hunter Lawrence.

Enjoying generous accommodation laid out across three floors, this semi-detached house benefits from a spacious living room with French doors leading out to the private rear garden, a separate contemporary kitchen/dining room and a handy guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom, while the magnificent master bedroom with en-suite shower room occupies the entire top floor.

It’s not just the layout and ambiance of the ‘Hawthorn’ which appeals to Lawrence, he’s also impressed with its green credentials.

“I am having solar panels in the roof, which will keep the heating costs down, and in the garden there will be a water butt and composter,” he says. “So I feel like I’m doing my bit for the environment.”

While the ‘Hawthorn’ means Lawrence has found his perfect home, he’s also in the perfect location.

He relocated to Cippenham last year, after spending most of his life in Kent, to be nearer his daughter and son-in-law, Helen and David, and their two children.

Lawrence, who runs LBCS Ltd which provides consultancy services in metrology, inspection, quality assurance and measurement accreditation, said: “I’ve been coming to the area for 10 years now and feel totally at home here.

“Helen and David’s house is a short walk from Kings Park, which is ever so handy as I need to be on hand to pick up my two grandchildren from school when needed.

“Helen’s a teacher at a local school here and, after spending a lot of time visiting over the years, I can say it’s a lovely area with everything you need. I’m just thrilled to have found the right house, in the right area, and very grateful for the help I received from Taylor Wimpey’s staff”
