The 'hotel feel' homes just a 30 minute drive from Nottingham city centre

House hunters are invited inside elegant properties located near Nottinghamshire which have a "hotel feel". Housebuilder Harron Homes has opened new show homes at Shipley Lakeside in Shipley near Heanor, where prospective buyers can explore a range of elegant styles catering to a variety of tastes.

The show homes will appeal to buyers looking to make a fresh start in a lovely home located in peaceful, natural surroundings right by Shipley Lake. The lakeside area boasts a multitude of walks and nature trails set against the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.

There is an onsite country park on the development as well, offering access to the Nutbrook trail, a 10-mile traffic free-route that takes you between Shipley Country Park, Long Eaton and Heanor. The two show homes were designed by Midlands based interior designers, Open Door Interiors.

Managing Director Tracy Baker described the elegant style of the two show homes and said: “We genuinely love working with Harron Homes because its product has that ‘hotel’ feel and bespoke finish. This provides a beautiful template for us to decorate the tasteful and refined interiors we pride ourselves on.

“The larger of the two show homes is the three-bedroom Warkworth. It’s a build ideally suited to families looking for a tasteful, elegant design. The colour palette is selected with that audience in mind. Delicate tones of beige meet lighter ivory shades, balanced finely against French blue for a subtle contrast. It’s perfect for that tasteful hotel feel.

“The smaller four-bedroom Windsor is ideal for families looking for a bright, spacious design with a work-from-home appeal. Our base colour palette of white, silver grey and mauve helps compose suave, comfortable spaces with a clear, open and peaceful feel to them.

“The high-specification kitchen is the focal point of this home. Harron Homes incorporates glass in its homes, which gives a natural feeling of light and spaciousness. The use of a bay window lends a wonderful brightness to the kitchen that’s perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. We were then able to supplement this with beautiful wood-panelling, balancing the boutique finish of the overall style with a touch of the traditional.”

Shipley Lakeside benefits from a range of local superstores nearby should you need to do a spot of shopping, plus a shopping park for those weekends dedicated to some retail therapy. Prospective buyers can visit the Warkworth and Windsor show homes at Shipley Lakeside 10:30am to 5:30pm Thursday to Monday. The development is located on Pit Lane, Lakeside, Shipley, DE75 7JL.
