THERE'S a buzz about Prescot with the £30m Shakespeare North Playhouse just weeks away from opening.

And a local housebuilder is looking to capitalise on that by displaying its new Shakespeare-themed show home at the Sonnet Gate development in Prescot.

House types on the development will range from a variety of 3- and 4-bedroom homes featuring its newest designs, which all include open-plan layouts.

What's on offer

The 4-bedroomed Hazelwood show home is now open for viewing on an appointment-only basis, giving prospective buyers the opportunity to visit in person and get a feel for the surrounding area.

An expansive entrance shows off the home's open plan layout.

One of the bedrooms is an en-suite, followed by two teenage rooms, while the fourth bedrooms is a practical guest room doubling up as a home office and gaming space.

Back downstairs, the living room of the Hazelwood opens on to a light kitchen diner with French doors to the rear and a separate laundry area.

There is also an integral garage with this house type.

Shakespearean history

The show home showcases several rousing and on-trend design features such as purposefully neutral-coloured walls and a fresh modern styling, along with a customisable kitchen design.

There are also a number of nods throughout the design to the Shakespearian history of the town, of which the name of the development also pays homage too.

Community setting

Clare Noakes, Sales Director for Miller Homes North West, said: “Prescot is a perfect place to raise a family and lay down your roots.

"Sonnet Gate provides an ideal community setting to do just that.

"We’re excited to give prospective buyers an exclusive look into our Hazelwood show home. We’ve worked hard to blend the essentials and the excitement of interior design into practical home living."
