DESIGNER SHARES THE STYLE SECRETS INSIDE NEW SHOW HOME IN SHUTTINGTON

FEATURING two fun children’s rooms, a new show home in Shuttington is sure to capture the imaginations of all the family.

Elan Homes recently opened the doors to a five-bedroom Kelsall Special at its Millbridge development.

Styled by Edward Thomas Interiors, it’s been well received by visitors, helping inspire buyers to reserve new homes.

Andy Richardson, managing director at Edward Thomas Interiors, said: “We designed the show home at Millbridge for a family that loves to entertain. Using a timeless navy and grey colour scheme, we’ve added gold metallics and velvet fabric to create an elevated, luxury aesthetic. This elegance is further emphasised in our choice of statement light fittings, some of which are chandelier style, as well as art deco inspired mirrors and occasional furniture.”

The Kelsall Special spans 2,014 sq ft of carefully considered living space including a dedicated dining room with bay window and separate lounge with French doors opening out to the garden. At the heart of the home is a combined kitchen, dining and family room, with bi-fold doors leading to the garden. A utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms including main bedroom with en-suite. Two of the bedrooms share a shower room, leaving the family bathroom to serve the remaining two bedrooms. There’s the option to make the fifth bedroom into a dressing room to the main bedroom.

“The Kelsall’s ground floor offers distinctive spaces for the family to curl up together for movie night, host an elegant dinner party, or enjoy informal get-togethers with visiting friends and family. With this in mind, we styled the bedrooms as individual retreats for parents and children,” Andy explained.

“The main bedroom is spectacular. A super king bed is framed by a feature wall and a bespoke fluted headboard that spans the entire wall. A sleek dressing table and velvet buttoned cube stools ensure space for quiet reflection.

“Two further bedrooms are themed, one for a roller-skating tween including mirror ball effect wallpaper, and the other for a younger, outdoorsy child complete with camper van bed and rainbow paint striped wall.”

Millbridge is an intimate development of just 24 private sale properties. Despite being small in scale, it offers a good choice of two to five-bedroom homes. Current prices range from £289,995 to £634,995.

The homes will enjoy a leafy setting with existing trees and hedgerows retained and new trees planted. When complete, the new neighbourhood will include a flowering lawn, an attenuation pond that will be a wildflower wetland area, plus a wildflower meadow.

Local amenities include a public house, supermarket and village hall all within walking distance. Polesworth Secondary School and Newton Regis Primary School are within easy reach, making the homes an ideal choice for families.

The show home at Millbridge is open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm. For more information see https://www.elan-homes.co.uk/developments/millbridge/
