THE launch of Story Homes' show home at Greengate Meadow, Levens, attracted more than 100 customers.

The four-bedroom detached Taunton house has been styled by interior designer Suzanne Webster using classic black and white with accents of colour, tipped to be a key interior design trend for 2018.

The property showcases the features that come as standard including bi-fold/French doors leading onto patio and turfed gardens, Symphony kitchens with integrated A-rated appliances, bathroom fittings and sanitaryware by Crosswater and tiling by Porcelanosa. American white oak interior doors complement contemporary staircases with oak newel posts, handrails and painted spindles.

Carlisle-based Story Homes says demand has been high for the 49-home development in Levens village, near Greengate Crescent. Prices start from £304,995, and there are two, three, four and five-bedroom family properties.

Sales manager Clare Wilson said the company was delighted to welcome customers who had travelled from across the North West despite cold and wintry weather to see the Taunton house. Also on view at Greengate Meadow was a three-bedroom detached dormer bungalow, the Banbury.

“Our first family has moved in and we are looking forward to more residents moving in before spring and seeing this community grow and become part of village life,” Clare added.

David and Hannah Jenkins, the first residents to move in, also attended the launch event. David said: “The Taunton design is our dream family home. Having three young boys it offers us the perfect space with the large kitchen, dining and family room which covers the rear of the house and overlooks the garden.

“We’ve been renting locally, so it is good to view the show home to get ideas as we are still buying fittings and furniture for the home and to see how they have used the space in each room."
