Much anticipated showhome opens in Colchester

Undoubtedly a showhome is the centre piece of a new build development, not only should it produce the ‘wow’ factor, but also inspire househunters to emulate the ideas used in their own homes, making them the envy of all who visit.
This is certainly the thinking behind the showhome at Persimmon Homes’ Riverside Quarter development in Colchester. Professionally styled by a leading interior designer company, the three bedroom Theydon showhome depicts style and fashion with a striking yet beautiful theme.
If you’re looking to move into a new property but feel overwhelmed at the thought of designing the interior, why not visit Riverside Quarter’s showhome which will undoubtedly give your creative mind a well-needed kick start.
Norman Sharpe, sales director for Persimmon Homes Essex, explains: “The Theydon showhome at Riverside Quarter perfectly showcases our commitment to quality both inside and out our magnificent properties. It makes a statement that visitors will not only remember, but will hopefully be an inspiration for own new homes.”
The Theydon design, which has been dressed with a modern and fresh look, certainly makes you feel that spring has arrived with the lemon and cream colour scheme. This home is perfect for all home buyers with its vibrant pallet, reflecting the lively atmosphere within.
Norman continues: “We certainly didn’t want to create a bland look in the Theydon, the trick is to infuse bright colours to bring a showhome alive without being over the top. This can be done through simple techniques such as introducing items like vases, cushions or light shades into the mix, or even create a feature wall with paint or wallpaper.”
Persimmon chose the Theydon as it is one of the company’s most popular housetypes at Riverside Quarter, and by professionally styling and furnishing the design househunters are given a wonderful insight into how the homes will look when complete.
The Theydon property is priced from £199,995, while an alternative three bedroom Linwood design is also available from £199,995. In addition, those with limited finances are being encouraged to ask about the 80 per cent shared equity FirstBuy scheme, whereby purchasers own 100 per cent of their home after initially paying just 80 per cent of the market price. Properties available through FirstBuy are priced from as little as £159,996 for the complete three bedroom Lindwood.
Riverside Quarter benefits from being surrounded by green open space, making up the conservation area which Persimmon has worked alongside Essex Wildlife Trust to create. For ease of access around the development and into Colchester’s centre, the homebuilder has created number of new riverside walks, footpaths and cycle ways. Riverside Quarter is also situated close to Castle Park, which offers a host of leisure pursuits for all the family to enjoy.
