Award-winning developer City & Country has opened a new show home at its exclusive Burderop Park development in Chiseldon, Wiltshire, in the grounds of a Grade II* listed 17th century manor house. The three-bedroom home has been curated by the developer’s in-house design team to give a feel for contemporary, country house living.
The end terrace home is full of light thanks to the twin French doors leading from the spacious open-plan living/dining/kitchen area into the private garden, and the predominantly neutral design scheme uses natural colours and textures to link through to the expansive countryside in and surrounding the development.
The white-washed oak finish laminate flooring throughout the ground floor provides the perfect backdrop for an elegant design, with a feature fireplace, grey sofas and a six-seater glass dining table with Louis XV-style upholstered dining chairs. A breakfast bar helps to delineate the kitchen, which comes equipped with Silestone work surfaces, a Bosch induction hob, and Zanussi dishwasher and fridge-freezer.
Upstairs, the home features a main bedroom with built-in wardrobe and en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the stairs and bedrooms laid with pure wool carpets. The main bedroom has been designed with a touch of Hollywood glamour, with a king sized bed, padded headboard and mirrored dressing table and side tables. The second bedroom has a more country vibe, with soft textures and furniture in natural wood and rattan. Bedroom three is also strikingly glamorous, with a floor-to-ceiling oversized headboard forming a dramatic centrepiece to the room, dreamy in white and cream.
“The intention was to create an example of a gorgeous, cosy country home, mixing neutrals and woods with a touch of country house floral,” says City & Country’s in-house interior designer Clementine Collins. “We are very pleased with the result, it feels very fitting for the estate. The scheme here also consists of reused furniture from other City & Country show homes, so it has been very creatively fulfilling to adapt these pieces into a totally new space.”
Shelley West, Group Sales and Marketing Director, added: “Our project at Burderop Park is about taking the best of both traditional and contemporary design to create something new and yet rooted in heritage. This elegant interior demonstrates that to perfection, and we are particularly pleased to have been able to do that through reusing and recycling.”
Burderop Park is a collection of two to five-bedroom properties, close to Chiseldon, Wroughton and Marlborough, with now just two homes remaining for sale. Set on the edge of the Marlborough Downs, within the North Wessex Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the new homes are designed in traditional style, to fit in with the historic manor house, and are surrounded by trees and countryside, with a play park and generous landscaped residents’ garden onsite, in addition to private gardens.
Swindon is less than five miles away, with a convenient rail service to London Paddington in less than an hour, and there are good road connections to Heathrow, Cardiff, Bristol and Reading.
The two remaining properties are ready to move into now, starting from £425,000. For more information visit www.cityandcountry.co.uk or call 01793 975 910 to arrange a visit.
