Amber Valley Mayor cuts ribbon at new Lower Somercotes showhome

The Mayor of Amber Valley Borough Council Councillor Tony Holmes recently cut the ribbon at Harron Homes’ new The Oaks development in Lower Somercotes, officially opening the new Banbury showhome.

The Mayor was joined by the Mayoress and visitors from the local area to mark the opening and take the first look inside the new five-bedroom showhome.
Guests were able to explore the Banbury while Harron Homes’ sales team discussed the homes currently available at The Oaks, along with the purchasing schemes and incentives offered on selected plots.
The Banbury is a substantial five-bedroom detached home with an integral double garage and block-paved driveway. Downstairs, a large family room features a bay window, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area has French doors leading onto the garden, alongside a separate utility room and WC. Upstairs are five double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with a dressing area, fitted Hammonds wardrobes and ensuite, while a second ensuite bedroom and family bathroom with a separate bath and shower complete the first floor.
Councillor Tony Holmes said, “It was a pleasure to cut the ribbon and officially open the Banbury showhome at The Oaks. The event gave local people and prospective buyers the opportunity to see the new home for themselves and learn more about the development taking shape in Lower Somercotes.”
Matt Barker, Regional Managing Director at Harron Homes North Midlands, said, “We were delighted to welcome the Mayor and Mayoress to The Oaks to mark the official opening of the Banbury showhome. The Banbury offers generous space for family life, and the showhome gives buyers the chance to experience its layout and finish first-hand.”
