Broomfield Avenue Shortlisted for 2012 Housebuilder Awards 

We're delighted to announce that our Towngate Homes, Broomfield Avenue development has been shortlisted for the prestigious Housebuilder of the Year Awards 2012!

The development, which is situated with stunning views overlooking Savile Park in Halifax, has been shortlisted in the 'best design for 3 storeys or fewer' categories for its townhouse properties. The 3 storey properties represent a modern reinvention of the traditional townhouse. Architecturally designed with lifestyle in mind, using a palette of traditional materials including FSC-rated hardwood, Yorkshire stone and high-performance glass. 

The townhouses are positioned to take advantage of the open views over Savile Park, with front balconies maximising the fantastic views, whilst the ones at the rear capture the sun with their southern aspect. The low maintenance gardens have been designed on the Japanese principles of Zen gardening – small but perfectly formed. Each townhouse also has its own private garage, with storage space above.

The interior is designed to maximise natural light and blur the boundaries between internal and external spaces. Large windows, glass feature walls, glass balustrades and a stairwell top lit by a skylight, allow light to flow through the property, whilst larger than normal entrance halls and corridors create a sense of space and airiness. 

Each property comes complete with the highest quality fixtures and fittings, such as Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware, Porcelanosa tiles and Omega kitchens, with the customer being given the opportunity to choose many of these elements, including the kitchen and bathrooms. The flexible internal space also means the customer has options when it comes to use of rooms. For example they could choose to use the first floor reception room as a study or bedroom if required. As a result each home is unique and fully caters to the lifestyle needs of the target market – affluent empty nesters. 

The development has proved to be highly successful, with all townhouses now sold or reserved. The quality, design and flexibility of these homes has also attracted a mix of customers including downsizers relocating from other parts of the country, a mother and daughter, and the Church of England, who have purchased a home for use by visiting clergy.

“We are more than delighted with our new home. The quality and finish of Towngate Homes’ properties are the best we have ever had, and this is our fourth new property. The builders are exceptional workmen and we would strongly recommend Towngate Homes to anyone wanting to purchase a new property.” Broomfield Avenue resident, Jean Green.
