Words by Val Chapman
With an Italian name from the classical music vocabulary, you might be expecting some traditional elements in the Sonata II – and you'd be right. This is a home, also, with calming notes; a comfortable, cosy option for your new lifestyle.
The Sonata II is one of Prestige Homeseeker's most popular residential homes. Its exterior is characterised by distinctive Georgian bar bay windows and white corner stones.
Above the entrance, the roof peak adds to the styling – and that's where you find the Sonata II's small amount of loft space. It's a key element in the amount of storage space which this home offers.
The lounge-dining space is an L-shape, effectively arranged around the large, almost square kitchen, which is totally separate.
The interior décor is designed to create the impression of calm luxury – and it does. With very much a homely feel, the Sonata II has an instant look of warmth generated by the cream and brown shades that are used throughout the home.
It's a colour choice and style that will suit almost all tastes – especially as the Sonata II's look manages to combine elements of traditional style with modern elements.
Plain cream units, brown-shade wall tiling, plus wood-effect surface and flooring give the kitchen a country-cottage-meets-modern aspect. Integrated appliances include an
oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.
The dining alcove has a cosy feel. Warm-shade wood for the four-seater table and high-back chairs plus a sideboard enhance the cosy look. The alcove leads into the lounge…
Bright and light everywhere, thanks to ample windows, the lounge has white walls and a near-white fireplace. Big, sumptuous sofas and chairs upholstered in a tactile fabric, enhanced with loads of cushions, ensures the Sonata II's lounge makes an instantly cosy impression.
A touch of traditional style comes in the form of a five-point pendant light on a chrome bracket.
Plenty of wardrobes are a feature of the Sonata II's bedrooms. Deeply upholstered headboards, bold bedside lamps with cylindrical shades and a fawn and cream colour palette make sure the bedrooms appeal to all tastes.
Here again the fawn palette dominates, teamed this time with bright white. Window blinds are roller-style, matching the one in the kitchen, edged with feature large chrome rings.
The Sonata II is one of many homes on display at Prestige Homeseeker's showground at its factory in Rushden, Northamptonshire.
The show ground is open from Monday to Saturday and is one of the largest park home show grounds in the UK. A visit here enables you to browse through many homes and get an insight into how Prestige Homeseeker homes are made.
