New Phase of Homes at Downsview in Westerham Offers Spacious Three-Storey Family Living
FERNHAM Homes is launching phase two of its highly desirable Downsview development at Westerham, near Sevenoaks, on the weekend of 31st October. Initially, seven three/four-bedroom, semi-detached homes will be available at Downsview North, all featuring a flexible fourth bedroom/study and an innovative three-storey layout that makes the most of the beautiful views over the North Downs.
The homes feature a lower ground floor space that is open to the owners’ interpretation, with a living/dining space complemented by bi-fold doors leading to the turfed garden, a kitchen with breakfast bar, separate utility room, storage cupboard and a cloakroom. The main entrance on the ground floor leads through to an elegant formal living room with Juliet balcony, from which residents can appreciate the countryside scenery thanks to the hilltop location. Bedroom two is also on this floor, with an en suite shower room that can also be accessed via the hallway.
The first floor features a versatile layout, with the master bedroom enjoying an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, bedroom three, a family bathroom and a home office which could be also be used as a fourth bedroom, a craft room, a playroom, or as a nursery.
There are two different house types, internally laid out the same but with distinctively different external designs. The Wisteria has a striking apex roof detail with weather boarding, while The Juniper has far more extensive weather boarding across the frontage.
Paul Rosbrook, Operations Director at Fernham Homes, said: “The versatile layout of these three-storey homes gives every member of the family space for themselves, and is particularly suited to people who work from home, as the flexible fourth bedroom-turned-office space is on the first floor, away from the hustle and bustle of family life. We found that phase one was popular with all ages of buyers who have now formed a tight-knit community. There are only seven homes launching this time around as two have already been reserved off-plan, so we expect the launch weekend to be a busy one.”
Fernham ensures that its homes are finished to the highest standards, and at Downsview the specification will include designer kitchens with handleless soft-close drawers and cupboards and Bosch appliances including induction hob, double oven, fridge-freezer, and integrated dishwasher. Bathrooms will have white sanitary ware and chrome fixings, including heated towel rails, whilst gardens will come with patios, cycle storage and an external tap.
