NEW BUILD FEATURE

Inside a Spacious Four Bedroom Home at Havelock Park, County Durham

OVERVIEW

Standing in Darlington, in the north of England, Millie presents a development that stands out right away. Havelock Park is Home by Esh’s latest show home collection, positioned near Blackwell Parkland and offering what Millie describes as “that countryside calm” while still allowing residents to commute to London in just over two hours. The location strikes a balance between accessibility and seclusion, which is evident in the residences' personalities.

Variety Meets Consistency

 

The development comprises four, five, and six bedroom houses, each designed with its own identity. Millie notes that “they don’t all feel the exact same,” a deliberate departure from the copy-and-paste feel often associated with new build estates.The residences are all different in style and quality, with things like unique balcony windows setting them apart.

Entrance with Elegance

 

Priced at £670,000 and measuring just under 2,000 square feet, the Nightingale show home opens with a practical welcoming hallway. From a large cupboard for coats and bags to an eye-catching downstairs bathroom, storage is efficiently integrated that Millie describes as “a bit of a wow moment,” complete with tiled accents and mural-style wallpaper that enhances a usually overlooked space.

The Home’s Gathering Place

 

The open plan kitchen, dining, and living area forms the heart of the home and is clearly designed around family life. Millie observes that it has been “so well thought through for family living,” with defined cohesive zones. The kitchen itself is anchored by a large central island, which she describes as “where you’re going to be spending a lot of your time,” paired with two-tone cabinetry, generous storage, Bosch integrated appliances, and well thought of lighting that can effortlessly transition from functional to ambient.

Flexible Spaces for Entertaining and Recreation

Beyond the kitchen, the dining area opens onto a wide garden via bifold doors, creating an easy connection between inside and out. The adjacent lounge offers a relaxed, family-focused setting, while a separate formal lounge offers a more elegant setting. Millie suggests this is “where you’re going to take them to impress,” yet notes it remains cosy enough for quieter evenings with the blinds drawn.

Practical Luxury Behind the Scenes

 

A substantial utility room extends the functionality of the ground floor, complete with additional storage, worktop space, and direct access to both the garden and garage. The inclusion of a boot room stands out as a particularly thoughtful detail. As Millie puts it, it is ideal for “coming in from a muddy dog walk” while keeping the kitchen calm and uncluttered.

A Calm and Elegant First Floor

Upstairs, a glass balustrade and generous windows bring light and a luxury feel to the landing. Four bedrooms and a dedicated home office are arranged to accommodate growing families and changing needs. Millie highlights the flexibility of the rooms, noting that even the twin bedroom could “easily be a double,” while the office reflects how working from home has become an essential part of contemporary life.

Hotel-Style Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The bedrooms are styled to showcase variety, from a generous secondary bedroom with an ensuite that Millie jokes could rival a principal suite, to a softer, more decorative third bedroom. The principal suite is saved for last, and for good reason. Millie describes it as having “that hotel style feel,” with deep navy upholstery, a walk-in wardrobe, and a spacious bathroom featuring an oversized freestanding bath designed for long, unhurried evenings.
