HILL TOP FARM GEARS UP FOR GRAND OPENING

There’s a flurry of activity at Dere Street Homes’ exclusive Hill Top Farm development with just over a week to go until the opening of the stunning five bedroom detached showhome on October 10th.

Sales and Marketing Manager, Marie McQuaid, commented, “Construction has been going non-stop so that we could get the interior designers into the showhome in time for an October opening, The result, however is absolutely stunning, and, without giving too much away, I doubt there’s been a more impressive showhome opened in recent years within the region.”

Designed by Newcastle-based architectural practice, Barnett North LLP, the 13 bespoke homes at Hill Top Farm are breaking new ground in the region for luxury properties as project architect and Barnett North Director, Louise Barnett, explained, “The homes are of outstanding quality and make the most of the superb views available over the open countryside and golf courses. All the homes have large window areas with many also enjoying double height spaces and galleried landings whilst some also have a double length integral garage with doors at each end to create even more options for space.”

The Farmhouse showhome occupies a prime corner site with extensive gardens and magnificent rural views. Featuring an integral double garage and spacious open plan kitchen and dining area, the floor to ceiling window to the double height great hall at the rear of the home allows natural light to flow through both stories.

The ‘floating’ staircase leads to a galleried landing, overlooking the great hall with magnificent views. The master bedroom, with integral dressing room, comes complete with luxurious en-suite facilities which includes his and hers wash basins. Bedrooms two and three include en-suite facilities while bedrooms four and five share the family bathroom.

Energy saving has also been a priority at the development with heat recovery systems taking the heat from bathroom and kitchen vented air to heat fresh air entering the homes. Under-floor heating to ground and first floors together with open fireplaces and tripled glazed windows create the best of both worlds – low energy utilisation with abundant light and fresh air with the homes.

Marie continued, “These are unique, design-driven and very bespoke homes which fit a certain lifestyle and we’re very proud to have created such a high quality development.”

Located adjacent to Ramside Hall Hotel just outside Durham City, Hill Top Farm will consist of just 13 farmstead style, detached and semi-detached luxury homes which come complete with one year’s free membership to both the Golf Club and Ramside Hall Hotel’s new Spa and Leisure Club.

Prices for the first phase of homes released for sale start from £425,000 with full details from Jan Gill, on-site Development Sales Manager 07983 080952 or www.derestreethomes.co.uk
