UNIQUE PENTHOUSE
COTSWOLDAPPEAL A record number of ‘baby boomers’ now own a second home, with around one in six 55 to 64-year olds buying a second property and one destination continues to attract – the Cotswolds. With authentic country charm and traditional honey-coloured stone exteriors, Spitfire Bespoke Homes’ development Highworth, in the popular village of Broadway, Worcestershire, is an ideal choice for second home hunters. Highworth is an elegant collection of 74 two to five bedroom properties, in 60 different designs. All the homes incorporate classic architectural detailing with authentic exterior facades and are interspersed with open green spaces and feature squares. Charlie Comber, of Hayman-Joyce Estate Agents, says: “The Cotswolds, and Broadway in particular, are an extremely sought-after destination for buyers relocating to a peaceful spot for their second home. There is certainly great appeal to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a rural retreat. Spitfire is creating an impressive range of house types and layouts at Highworth, ideal for those looking for the character of a classic Cotswold home, but with the low maintenance space of a new build.” The final phase at Highworth is due to be released this Autumn. All homes feature solid oak kitchens with quartz worktops, glass splashbacks and Siemens integrated appliances. Bathrooms are fitted with contemporary white sanitary ware by Villeroy and Boch, with high-quality polished chrome fittings by Hansgrohe. Henbury House is a unique five-bedroom home, with large arched feature windows, to flood the house with natural light. A large open plan kitchen, breakfast and family room extend the length of the house. Regular train services operate from the nearby Honeybourne and Moreton-in-Marsh stations, both a 15-minute drive from Highworth, reaching London Paddington in under two hours.
With 360-degree views across London this unique three bedroom penthouse with an observatory really is one of a kind. The Penthouse Observatory spans the entire top floor of Brandon House – formerly an old paint factory. The spacious apartment is situated on the fourth and fifth floors with access via private lift. The bright 55ft open plan living room and kitchen are flooded with natural light, from the floor to ceiling windows, with doors out to balconies. There are three double bedrooms including the master bedroom with its en suite bathroom with underfloor heating and Turkish steam room. A spiral staircase from the living room leads onto the stunning triple-glazed rooftop conservatory surrounded by a Japanese landscaped double roof terrace garden with stunning view across the whole of London. In addition, the flat has a secure and private double garage. It is located in the heart of Munster Village with easy transport links to Parsons Green underground station and easy road routes out of London.
