With the five detached houses at Silverline Place all sold and just waiting for moving day to welcome their residents, award-winning Drew Smith is proud to announce the launch of the five remaining townhouses at this flagship development in Winchester.

The bold, statement architecture draws on proportions borrowed from the Georgian era and Adam Architecture has incorporated exquisite features, creating imposing facades that open to reveal stunning interiors

Each home is framed by beautiful landscaped gardens and the grand proportions are enhanced by tall sash windows, superb brickwork and Portland stone detailing.

Traditional elegance combines with modern convenience to create highly desirable living space, with excellent energy ratings, and the specification has been meticulously planned by the Drew Smith Homes design team using exceptional materials with beautiful detailing and high quality equipment throughout.

The layouts vary considerably, with the substantial accommodation extending to more than two and a half thousand square feet in some cases. Arranged in two terraces, most homes have garaging and all have private parking.

In true Drew Smith style, attention to detail is exemplary both in the quality of the construction, specification and finish of the houses and also in the landscaping of the development as a whole as well as the individual private spaces.

Jane Kennerley of Savills New Homes is delighted to be bringing the townhouses to the market and says: “Following the successful sale of the five detached houses at Silverline Place, the launch of the townhouses has been eagerly awaited. This will give families an opportunity to really get a flavour of a new home at Drew Smith’s flagship development.

The day dawned breezy and bright and set the scene perfectly for the launch of the latest fabulous show home at Bovis Homes’ The Green at Winchester Village.

Visitors to the launch event marvelled at the beautifully decorated and furnished show home, which suggests how these homes may be personalised, and the stylish furniture combined with feature wall coverings and attractive window dressings encouraged people to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. A professional chef produced a superb array of enticing delicacies and Bovis and Savills teams were on hand to ensure guests were welcomed and provided with information required.

The garden also was a huge success with its southerly aspect and range of Mediterranean planting, and due to the favourable weather, was a focal point during the day with a jazz band providing an uplifting beat, and the popcorn machine a fascination, particularly for the younger visitors.

Several prime houses are located within this elevated flank of Winchester Village with a range of four, five and six bedroom homes to choose from. All feature excellent layouts with high ceilings, beautiful fixtures and fittings, design-led kitchens and bathrooms, and ample parking. Several of these homes are unique to the development and have versatile accommodation.

Jane Kennerley of Savills New Homes was delighted with the steady stream of potential purchasers through the day and said: “It was a thoroughly enjoyable day with a jolly atmosphere and it also gave the existing residents an opportunity to come along and view the new show home and mingle with neighbours and the sales team. The day was a huge success with several reservations taken as a result.”

Bovis has a range of incentives to make moving easier including part exchange which can remove all the stress of trying to coordinate the sale of an……
