1. Barratt - Studio Solo 1B/2P

2. Barratt Maidstone 3B/5P

This iconic apartment design at 261ft² opened up so many opportunities for people to own their own house in the early 1980’s. Thousands were built in two and three storey blocks, mainly in timber frame construction. They came fully carpeted and furnished, the bed being a fitment pulled out of the wall to save space with the marketing blurb being, ‘all you need is your knife and fork to move in’. As well as many showhouses, the Group also constructed mock-up show units of the Solo in several Army & Navy stores throughout the UK, so people could view and register interest when they were out shopping.

Several derivatives of the Solo came later with one of them being the equally successful larger version called the Studio 2.

The Maidstone at 830ft² has been one of the most popular Barratt 3B/5P houses throughout the last thirty years. The Palmerston, equally popular, was the first version which comes without an en-suite at 776ft² and the Maidstone was introduced at the same width dimension as the Palmerston but stretched back to front a further 1.300m that created greater living space but more importantly, a first floor ensuite bathroom. In the early years the Maidstone could only be used in the South due to its greater build cost, but latterly both the Maidstone and Palmerston have been available for use throughout the Group. The Maidstone became so popular in recent years that the Ellerton housetype has been recently introduced as an alternative, not an option, on the same floorplate to add variety to site layouts.

The living accommodation allowed the design to have a first floor balcony deck with a car space below, minimising the plot. The bathroom on the ground floor with the bedrooms also fulfilled the regulatory requirement for a ground floor wc, meaning we did not have to include a second wc cloakroom elsewhere.

It’s a myth Barratt have never built large detached housetypes. This house was the largest at 3500ft² in the old Sovereign Range which was launched following some difficult trading years, to demonstrate Barratt were back and building houses across a broad spectrum of sizes. The Wordsworth had a chauffeur’s apartment above the triple garage with separate entrance and had the option of a large swimming pool and sauna in the rear conservatory.

Several Show Villages were launched showcasing the Sovereign Range throughout the Group and the Collingtree Park, Northampton show village included the Wordsworth and on launch day it had the British Sequence Swimming Team providing demonstrations in the swimming pool. It was opened by Sir Lawrie and Lady Barratt, in 1985 with scissors to cut the ribbon provided by the black suited Milk Tray Man from the popular advert at the time, lowered on a rope by the Barratt helicopter.
