Inside the 700 000 5 Bedroom New Home by Redrow The Hampstead

Hello everyone, today I'm here with Redrow at their brand new development, Curbera Lakes in Litchfield. I'll be taking you inside the Hampstead, which is a stunning five-bedroom detached home, part of their heritage collection. This eco-friendly all-electric home blends traditional architectural style with contemporary interiors, perfectly aligning with Redrow's vision. Prices for the Hampstead do vary depending on location, and here at Curbera Lakes, the estimated guide price for the Hampstead starts at £695,000. Now, I can't wait to take you inside, so let's get kick-started with the tour. I'm Jasmine, and you're watching The Luxury Home Show. Welcome inside. First up, we have our entrance hall, which is super bright and airy. We're going to see a lot of different colours, materials and textures throughout the home that really contribute to the nature-inspired interior design theme we have going on. Now, if you know me, you know I love green, which made this house perfect for me, and also this wallpaper, which is this beautiful pale green with a metallic sheen. I absolutely love it. Now, to my right, we have our lounge. We've got a WC down here, access upstairs, and then right in front of me is the kitchen, living and dining area, which I'm going to show you now. The herringbone flooring continues from the hallway into this open-plan space. Behind me, we have our kitchen, which is by Moors, and as you can see, it's that traditional shaker style. The soft and neutral colour palette continues into here with the light cabinetry backing onto the darker wall, which I think is a really lovely contrast, but let's go take a closer look. We have this Verona quartz worktop, which continues onto the windowsill and also the backsplash behind me. We have integrated Siemens appliances, the microwave, oven, induction hob, and also an integrated dishwasher down below. Over to my right, we also have a utility room, which follows the same interior design theme as the kitchen itself. It has side access, so great if you want to bring a mucky pup in, but don't want to bring it through the whole house, and then you also have your laundry facilities in there too. Hannah showed us one in the other retro house we toured recently, which was the Sunningdale, but I think mine's Exiting the kitchen, we have a storage cupboard on my right, and then the breakfast bar area here, which I love. It's such a good casual dining option, but it's also really social. If you had some guests over and you were hosting, they can sit here, keep you company while you're cooking up a storm in the kitchen or making them a coffee. This home is a great example of the top specification that Retro has to offer. I had the chance to play around with their on-site kitchen visualiser. I had so much fun designing my own dream kitchen, and it's something you can also do if you go to your local Retro site. You can make customisations such as the countertops, appliances, colour scheme, but Retro do have a saying, and it is, once the roof is on, the choice is gone, meaning you've got to snap one of these plots up early enough in the build to make the customisations you want. Now we have the dining area right in front of me, so let's check this out. One thing I find with circular dining tables is that they really help improve the flow of a room, but also the flow of conversation. You're sat here, you can see everyone around you. Maybe not to whoever sits opposite me there because of these beautiful vases, but we can easily pop them on the side for dinner. Altogether, it creates a really inclusive dining experience, and in the summer, with the bifold doors open, I can imagine it would be even better. One of the main benefits of the Hampstead compared to the Sunningdale which Hannah previously showed you is the addition of this sitting area in our open plan space. While on some occasions having the kitchen and dining separate to the lounge is great, for example in the Sunningdale, I love this because in a family home, it works so well. The space is so multifunctional. Let me set the scene. You've just come back from the school run, your kids are hungry, so you're cooking up some grub in the kitchen. One of them's doing homework on the dining table, the other sat here, just like me, watching some TV. It all just works so perfectly, and even though it is quite a large space, it feels so intimate and cosy because of that family dynamic, and also because of the underfloor heating which comes as standard in all retro detached homes. Coming back into our entrance hall, one thing I have realised is that the Sunningdale had a ground floor study which we don't have here. You'll have to wait and see if there's one upstairs. Through here we have our WC. Let's take a little look. Great to have this right by the front door. We have these half porcelainosa tiles, the sinks, toilet, which has all been upgraded, and then the colour on the walls, it's like a mushroomy colour, but I know I would have to choose green when I was customising it because I think that would look so perfect. If we come on out of here, there's actually something I want to show you on the wall, which is a list of all the options and extras you can get. Some won't set you back as much. For example, if you wanted to have a single socket added, it's £190, but some things will set you back a little bit more. For example, let's have a look. Here we go, we have porcelainosa parquet plank tile in Atlanta light in the kitchen. That's going to set you back £8,650, so depending on what your priorities are, you can choose what you like from here, and it's great that they display that in the show home. Now, let me take you into the lounge. Now, this is more like it. We've got the return of the green walls and also these textures all around this room, like the wallpaper, the carpet, really adding to that nature-inspired theme. Redrow have their own in-house team of interior designers, and I think they've done such a good job at not only making this space feel beautiful, but also feel lived in. Another thing that was really important to Redrow was making these homes eco-electric. So in here, we have the electric fireplace with the limestone surround. In front of me, we have these gorgeous bay windows that are double glazed, so the insulation throughout this house is excellent. And we also have an air source heat pump, which is so beneficial in so many ways. They can provide three times as much energy as they consume, making them so much more efficient than a traditional heating system. They don't rely on fossil fuels, and because of the lowered energy consumption rate, it's a lower utility cost. So it really just is a win all around. The home has a total of 1,850 square feet. We've shown you the ground floor, so now it's time to take you up and show you the rest. This landing is also very spacious. You can see all the way down to the end. We have five bedrooms all together, so I'm going to take you into the first one. This room has been set up to show you what it'd look like as a single bedroom, but also a study. I think I would definitely sacrifice this space as a bedroom to have as a working space, or maybe even like a library or reading nook. Yeah, that's definitely what I'd do. But let's head across the hallway into the next room. Red Row have done it again with the interior design. It's great that they haven't just put a beige or grey room in here. They've experimented with different patterns, colours, textures. Behind me, we have our first look at the Goodings wardrobes, which are built in storage. So many developers just don't take this into consideration, but every home needs storage. Let's go check out the other bedrooms. This is just so cute. I love the pink, the interior design. Red Row know they are selling a family home, so you've got to have a kid's bedroom. I can imagine a family coming in on a viewing, the daughter seeing this and demanding something like it at home. That would be me. I would be that daughter. But let's head across as we have the family bathroom straight opposite. It is so bright in here. We're fully decked out with the porcelainosa tiles, very white, bright, airy, everything you need in a bathroom. Toilet, bath tucked around this corner, and then the shower just behind the door. And then here we have our basin, storage underneath, and also we have a mirror storage. And this is a de-mister mirror, so when you fogged up the room after your shower, you can still have a look in here. All of the rooms I've just shown you share that family bathroom, but we have the principal suite and bedroom four at the end, each with their own en-suites. Let's head into bedroom four. I already really like the darker colour theme in here. We've got the wardrobes tucked away behind the door with the sliding glass doors again. And then over on this side is the bed. It feels really cosy in here and I really like the dark headboard. Now, we do have an en-suite in here, like I said. Let's check it out behind this door. De-mister mirror again. We've got slightly more neutral tiles. They're not bright white. It's a bit warmer in here. And then here we have our shower on this side. Everything you need. Now, it's time to show you the main bedroom. This room is definitely the largest. One of the reasons why it is my favourite. There's some touches in here, like the chandelier, the tinted mirrors on the wardrobe doors that really make it feel almost like a hotel. Very luxurious. Over here, come check out this headboard. Another addition to that in that velvet material. It spans over the length of the bed. It looks so beautiful. We also have some really interesting design choices that have been made, such as the skirting boards, which as you can see, they're a little bit taller than they should be. Really draws your eye. And then above, we have a very unique feature, which is the curved ceiling. Has a very tactical paint job so that it gives the illusion of a lower ceiling height over the bed. But then it also works to frame those beautiful bay windows at the front. And of course, your principal suite wouldn't be complete without your own en-suite. So we have the walk-in shower here on my right. Grey tiles. And then over here, we have a light-up demister mirror and then storage as well. I hope you've enjoyed the tour of the Hampstead. I certainly know I've enjoyed showing you around. In terms of the area, we're only a short distance away from Lichfield Town Centre, but we are surrounded by the beautiful countryside. It's only 40 minutes in the car to get to Birmingham City Centre and an hour and 20 minutes on the train down to London Euston.

I'll see you in the next episode of The Luxury Home Show. Bye, guys. Welcome to Kerbera Lakes, an exciting development of new homes in Lichfield and part of Red Row's prestigious heritage collection. Now, we have already covered a few of Red Row's homes, but today we are here to see the Sunningdale, a four-bedroom eco-friendly home. It combines a classic style with modern sustainability. There's an air-sourced heat pump, an eco-electric heater,
