Something For All The Family

SOL Open Showhome at Breaston

A restful living room for the grown ups and all the space you could want for the kids - that's the flexible formula devised by SOL for the four-bedroomed showhome which has just opened at Corn Meadow, their fabulous development of four and five-bedroomed family homes in the popular village of Breaston.

This architect-designed family home has been cleverly planned so the adults have their own area at the front of the house and the rooms leading into the rear garden can be used as family space.

The result is a stunningly modern home where each member of the family can live within their own comfort zone.

For the adults, there is a perfectly proportioned lounge with a bay window, which has been furnished in cool shades of cream with warmth provided by aubergine suede-style details. A mirror topped coffee table and double chandeliers add glamour to a room which takes 1970s retro into the 21st century.

At the back of the house, a fantastic family kitchen, complete with island unit and breakfast area, leads to a separate dining room which can be as formal or as casual as you wish. In the showhome, Karen Vincent Ernst and the team at Connections in Design have combined a teak effect dining table with lavender coloured dining chairs and a wall of silver rose wallpaper for a room which has double French doors into the garden.

Upstairs, in the master bedroom, a wall of rich silk effect wallpaper, in a deep shade of aubergine, brings glamour to a room which reflects the colour choices of the ground floor. A generous-sized en-suite shower room is accessorised in shades of lavender.

An elegantly furnished second double bedroom is ideal for visiting guests, and separate bedrooms have been themed for a 'No 1 Diva' daughter, in girly shades of pink and purple, and for a sporty boy, with surf and skate board motifs on the bedding and blinds.

The showhome, which marks the launch of Corn Meadow, is one of three which SOL Homes are in the process of opening.

"We wanted to demonstrate how a modern family can use the space to its advantage," says Liz Shirley, Sales Manager with SOL Homes. "It's flexible and shows that if you have got children you can still have a lovely modern house with space for yourself."

Located in Mount Street, Breaston, Corn Meadow features a range of exciting family house types, including three brand new styles which are being built for the first time in Breaston. Prices start from £314,995.

The development is open from Thursday to Monday between 10.30am and 5pm. For more information visit the showhome, which is now open, or contact Michelle Ellis on 01332 874365 or 0870 9501133.
