The five-bedroom Hogarth style detached house has been beautifully designed by Designer Contracts.

Catherine Clifton, senior interior designer at Designer Contracts explains: "This stylish family home has been inspired by tropical colours and fabrics which has enabled us to create a bright and vibrant, yet elegant show piece for Scholar's Gate.

"A palette of strong raspberry and lime runs throughout the home with a distinct tropical feel, which has been reflected through the choice of bright floral fabrics and wall art, giving points of interest to each of the rooms.

"Features such as crystal lighting have also been used in the main areas such as the living room and master bedroom, which highlights the luxurious nature of the homes available at Scholar's Gate."

David Child, sales director for Barratt comments: "Showhomes are a very important tool to any new development as it gives homebuyers the chance to not only see the types of homes on offer, but also what it might be like to live there.

"This five-bedroom Hogarth style house is the perfect family home and the interior design scheme really reflects the modern family living available at Scholars Gate.

"We now have three showhomes available to view at Scholar's Gate, enabling potential purchasers to be able to see the very wide range of properties available at the development."
