If Orion Homes had to pick one word to encapsulate our approach to designing and building a home, we would probably choose ‘detail.’ Every decision we make, from layouts to lighting, has the detail in mind. We’ve put that same thought and care into our latest development, Kendall Court in Ossett, where work has commenced to build a spacious and highly specified range of three and four bedroom semi-detached and detached homes.
Many of the details that set Orion Homes apart are instantly recognisable at Kendall Court. You’ll find well-known high-end brands renowned for superior quality: Hansgrohe and Ideal Standard in bathrooms, AEG in kitchens, Hammonds fitted wardrobes in bedrooms.
Other details will be discovered on closer inspection or reveal their qualities after you’ve moved in – most abundantly in our spacious open-plan dining kitchens, so often the natural hub of busy family life. At Kendal Court, our AEG double ovens have advanced fan technology which provides precisely controlled heat, distributed consistently so that every part of a dish gets exactly the heat it needs. When you admire the golden brown on your potato gratin or the perfect moisture of your chocolate cake, you’ll appreciate the extra detail in the specification that helped to make it happen. Its Hot Air convection system makes cooking more efficient – heating up faster and reducing cooking temperatures by up to 20%, saving you both time and energy. The high-speed burners of AEG’s gas hobs also get you cooking up to 20% faster.
Once you’ve created your culinary masterpiece, advanced features take on the chore of the post-cook clean up:
- In-built oven functions use natural steam to loosen stubborn grease and residue, or heat activated cleaning with catalytic lining which absorbs grease and enables it to be oxidised, leaving the surface clean.
- Extractor hoods use super-quiet breeze technology to quickly remove steam and cooking smells.
- Most homes also include an advanced AEG dishwasher which maximises drying using natural airflow and has an AutoSense program to detect how much water, energy and time is needed to clean your dishes in the most eco-friendly way possible.
All those details have been included to make your life easier and more comfortable, with more free time on your hands and more money in your pocket – and that’s just one room! Upstairs, the Kendal Court bathrooms offer similar home comforts:
- Hansgrohe showers with a choice of spray settings to suit your showering preference.
- QuickClean features on shower heads make limescale deposits and dirt disappear in an instant.
- Thermostatic control and powerful flow rate of flow rate of up to 13.8 litres per minute.
- Heated rails to quick-dry towels and keep them warm.
Bathroom tiling is one of those details which is a very personal choice. Individual tastes vary enormously. That’s why Orion Homes source a huge range of styles from leading manufacturers to make sure that we have every preference covered at Kendal Court. Marble or pebble, collage or mosaic, herringbone or hexagonal, Moroccan or Victorian, sandstone or slate, textured or terracotta – you can pick from a multitude of patterns and finishes. Many of our homebuyers love to match up complementary combinations and add visual impact with a feature wall. We offer a similar breadth of choice for the kitchen units and worktops. When it comes to creating your own bathroom or kitchen style, the decision on the detail is all yours.
Details that reduce your costs
At a time when the cost of living is rising fast, we’ve added features which make your regular household shopping go further. Most house designs at Kendal Court include electronic sensors in the fridge freezer which rapidly returns to the correct temperature after door opening and closing, helping to avoid temperature shocks and food spoilage, thereby reducing wasted food by up to 20%. Advanced Low Frost technology which makes the work of defrosting easier while a Frostmatic function activates maximum freezing power, so your fresh produce freezes as quickly as possible.
You’ll also save on running costs with low energy light bulbs, combi boilers providing outstanding energy efficiency and versatile dual zone central heating enabling you to concentrate warmth on occupied rooms or floors.
Space working in harmony
Considering every detail also means considering how the space works in combination. The extra storage in the utility room that frees up space in the adjoining kitchen. The downstairs cloakroom that’s easily accessible for guests via the entrance hallway. The lounge and family room that mirror each other and provide interchangeable use. The tri-slide doors that create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor space on those balmy summer days. When designing a home, it’s important to take a step back and understand the relationship between flow and functionality in contemporary living space.
We also believe it’s important to adapt to evolving preferences, adding subtle but significant modifications to open-plan space or en-suite configurations. Applying flexibility has been a big part of Orion Homes’ success over four decades in housebuilding. At Kendal Court, that tried and tested approach is evident throughout. We have included long-established house designs alongside new layouts developed through listening to homeowners, understanding their changing needs and finding ways to accommodate them.
The response from homebuyers has been exceptional: we have already sold 50% of the development. A selection of homes is still available at prices ranging from £269,995 to £384,995.
