MANORLANE SHOWS OFF STYLISH FAMILY LIVING

WITH NEW SHOWHOME

15 February 2008

Style need not be sacrificed for practicality when choosing a family home, as demonstrated by the new showhome Manorlane has unveiled at its Hamptons development in the South Lanarkshire village of Netherburn.

The needs of the modern family are central to the design of the five-bedroom, three-storey property which offers truly flexible living space. Boasting an impressively spacious, open-plan kitchen, dining area and garden room – in addition to a drawing room and formal dining room – the Chesham showhome also features a stylish entertainment room on the second floor, not to mention two en-suites and two bathrooms.

The new showhome is in keeping with Manorlane’s signature style, blending contemporary design with classical features, such as large Georgian windows, internal feature Georgian columns and generous sized rooms.

The Chesham is one of 16 housetypes to have been incorporated into Manorlane’s Hamptons development. All homes are detached and range from three to six-bedrooms in size.

Homes are currently being sold in the second phase of the 52-unit site, with the first homes scheduled for completion in April 2008. Prices currently range from £287,995 for a five-bedroom Kingly, to £189,995 for a three-bedroom Brooke.

The Chesham benefits from a sociable, flowing layout on the ground floor, with the living accommodation of drawing room, dining room, family room and kitchen, as well as the garden room, set in an open formation with feature Georgian columns creating a stylish distinction between areas. 

The fully-glazed garden room leads off from the open-plan kitchen and family room, filling the ground floor with natural light and providing extremely useable additional living space.

Another appealing and practical feature for the family buyer is the purpose-built laundry area located to the rear of the property’s adjoining single garage. The area is ideal for ensuring the clutter and noise associated with meeting the washing demands of a family are kept out of sight.

Moving upstairs, the upper hall leads to four of the property’s bedrooms. The three double bedrooms and one single are served by a family bathroom, while the Chesham’s master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, and bedrooms two and three both have access to a shared ‘Jack and Jill’ en-suite.

The second floor of the Chesham showhome, set in the roof space, has been used to create an impressive entertainment room as well as a luxurious bathroom, including both a bath and separate shower. Demonstrating the flexibility of the space, the entertainment room could also be used as a bedroom or home office. 

As with all Manorlane homes, the new Chesham showhome boasts a Georgian façade in red brick and white render, with period detailing and dormer windows set into the roof, creating an appealing and timeless street scene.

Nestled in the beautiful Clyde Valley and surrounded by fields and woodland, The Hamptons is only around five miles from the town of Hamilton and 20 miles from Glasgow. Netherburn is well served by nearby Larkhall, Hamilton and Lanark, and only minutes from the M74 and A71. Nearby train stations are located at Larkhall, Carluke, Wishaw and Shieldmuir.

As The Hamptons offers a relaxing countryside setting with an easy commute to the city, the location is proving particularly attractive for young couples and families relocating from the centre of Glasgow.

The showhome is open for viewing seven days a week, from 10am until 5.30pm. For further information or to take a virtual tour online visit www.manorlane.co.uk or call the Manorlane sales line on 0845 072 0073.
