NORTHAMPTONSHIRE DEVELOPER PROVIDES TOP TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SPARE ROOM
Leading developer Barratt Homes is celebrating the success of its brand new community in Wellingborough by showing keen house hunters how they can put utilise spare rooms within their new homes.
As the demand for flexible and versatile living spaces has risen since the COVID-19 pandemic, owning a property which allows you to change the style to suit your needs has never been more important.
Barratt Homes’ Henshaw style property is a spacious three bed home. However, if there isn’t the need for three rooms, one of the rooms can easily be transformed into a home office or dressing room.
Alison Raine, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Northampton, said: “With our homes becoming a place of solace during an uncertain time, making sure you feel at home has been a very important part of our homebuyer’s journeys.
“New build properties are blank canvases which buyers can personalise and make their own and this is often one of the most exciting parts of moving into a brand new space.
“To help property seekers who may not know where to start, we’ve created a list of top tips to help them navigate their way through transforming their space.”
The homebuilder’s top tips include:
Home Office
The pandemic has changed the way everyone works, and with more workplaces using a flexible working approach allowing people to choose when they work from home, a workspace at home has never been so appropriate.
The well-sized bedrooms in the Henshaw style home at Glenvale Park is a great space to create a working sanctuary to focus on work without having to leave the comfort of your own home. There is ample space for a desk, PC and monitor as well as enough room for a filing cabinet allowing you to create the perfect, well-organised home office. The space can also be shared by children who can use the space for homework and revising for exams.
Dressing Room
One of the most important things about moving into a new home is utilising your new space. The Henshaw style home offers homeowners the ability to do this with ease, the spare bedroom in the property could easily be converted into a dressing room for any budding fashionistas.
The room is the perfect size for adding a large wardrobe or clothing rack, to create a sense of luxury while also being able to create more space in other rooms throughout the house. The dressing room could be finished with large mirrors and shoe racks to make getting ready one of the best experiences of the day.
Playroom
Those with children can use the Henshaw’s space to create a dedicated playroom. The addition of a playroom will help keep toys organised and give the kids a place to be creative and play without creating a mess all over the home.
The playroom can be themed to match the interests of the children, whether it’s dinosaur themed wallpaper or a princess themed carpet. The room can be created to enhance the imagination and playtime of any child, whilst also keeping the home organised and tidy.
Barratt Homes also offers additional extras to be fitted to the Henshaw home, for example, fitted wardrobes, a work station, additional spot lights and with floorings as standard.
Glenvale Park offers easy access to the A509, A45 and M1 with a direct train London St Pancras in under an hour making the properties desirable for commuters who wish to move to the rural areas outside of the city. The rural setting offers the perfect location to explore many local country parks and the beautiful nature.
The brand new development is also close to a number of Ofsted rated Outstanding local primary and secondary schools nearby, suitable for new families wanting to move into the development.
