Merthyr’s double whammy

Tue, Jun 12th 2007, 11:00

Homebuyers in Merthyr Tydfil have not one, but two fabulous show homes to cast their eyes over at an upcoming launch weekend…

The beautifully designed and decorated show homes at Redrow’s Gelli Dawel development in Merthyr Tydfil will throw open their doors on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th June at a launch to showcase the  new arrivals.

Debby Pavitt, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), says: “We are thrilled at the result of these fantastic properties. The interior design has really highlighted Gelli Dawel’s customer focus – vibrant, fresh and practical.

“Show homes are a wonderful way to introduce properties to potential buyers as they are shown off to their full potential. We have a team of professional interior designers who work hard to create a look that we feel really represents our target buyer for that property – and they’ve succeeded once again at Gelli Dawel.”

The two beautiful four-bedroom properties are the Ouse and Neale style homes, priced from £186,950 and £229,995 respectively.

The ‘Neale’ property is a fresh, contemporary home – the design has been aimed at a young professional family with young children. The scheme revolves around the use of a fun yet simple colour palette – one that offers a welcoming ambience to the property and is very easy to adapt to.

The simple yet imaginative combination of bright colours with clean-lined, stylish furniture has been used to achieve a soft, approachable look that suits its profile and purpose. Unfussy window treatments and interesting use of lighting help to create a sophisticated and attractive setting.

Splashes of lemon have been used throughout the property to bring the rooms to life. This – combined with pattern and texture – creates depth and a comfortable living environment within the rooms.

A combination of complementary artwork and simple styling throughout show how easily the show home could be adapted to personal tastes.

In contrast, the ‘Ouse’ home was designed to appeal to a family with two teenage children in mind. The overall light and airy colour scheme accentuates the space of the rooms and is punctuated with accents of black, oatmeal and red to give some ‘punchiness’ to the neutral scheme.

The beautiful main rooms were furnished with chic, straight line, oak furniture that has across-the-board appeal and created a modern, sophisticated look that would suit any family.

Debby adds: “The designs are fabulous and we can’t wait to show them off! We’ll be welcoming people from 10am each day for their chance to experience first hand what it would be like to live at Gelli Dawel.”

Gelli Dawel is an attractive development set on the edge of Merthyr Tydfil and currently features a choice of three and four-bedroom homes, with prices starting at £179,950.

Set amidst the scenery of the magnificent Black Mountains and rolling Brecon Beacons, Gelli Dawel benefits from its close proximity to the stunning Welsh countryside. Fabulous walks for keep-fit or nature enthusiasts scatter the valley and offer some of the most outstanding views in the country.

Merthyr Tydfil boasts a wide range of available activities – from rambling through the Taff Fechan Nature Reserve or taking a journey on the Brecon mountain railway to sailing, golf or cycling – to name but a few – as well as having many leisure and community centres.

Surrounded by such natural beauty it would be easy to forget that Cardiff is within easy reach of Merthyr Tydfil, and that the town has many facilities close at hand – from high street shops and bustling markets to doctors, dentists, churches and a choice of schools.
