New manufacturer Harbur Park and Leisure Homes burst onto the luxury holiday lodge and park home scene with a portfolio of amazing designs and styles in 2023. The company, based in Rushden, Northamptonshire, set out to create holiday lodges and park homes that are utterly different from anything else on the market.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

The latest model, simply called the H4, is a perfect example of this ethos. But it\u2019s the elements that you can\u2019t see that will grab your attention just as much as the interior design.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

Harbur lodges are built using SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) technology, designed for superior insulation and thus energy efficiency. Harbur tells us that SIPs panels are stronger than conventional construction.<\/p>\n

Harbur says: \u201cSIPs panels are made up of an insulation foam core sandwiched between two layers of oriented strand board.\u201d (This is compressed strands of wood to which adhesives have been added). Harbur adds: \u201cThey are an efficient way of building made from renewable resources like wood fibre and plant-based resin, which makes our homes more sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

The H4\u2019s signature interior design hue is a pale sage green. The cabinets, boot seat and coat hook recess in the entrance area are clad in this calming, natural colour, and the corridor leading from it has half-height panelling in sage green.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

The lounge\u2019s chimney-breast-style media and log-effect-fire wall, plus another feature wall, share this shade and so do the curtains and Roman-style blinds.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

Here, the H4\u2019s green shade use is teamed with subtle hints of pink, cream and grey in a fine vertical weave pattern.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

Lounge furnishings show Scandinavian inspiration, in their simplicity of style.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

The lounge and dining area together form an L-shape, with the totally separate, spacious kitchen leading off it. Stunning elements of the kitchen are the large Belfast-style sink and marble-effect surfaces; four grooves in the surface form the sink\u2019s drainer.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

Cabinetry is matt grey, hiding away the fridge-freezer plus the washing machine and dishwasher, and also the central heating unit.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

Five drawers and five cabinets create the storage space, plus a full-height unit containing five shelves. There\u2019s also a five-position wine rack.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

Appliances are a four-burner hob and a waist-height oven with a microwave above it.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

A stunning lighting unit hangs over the dining area. It\u2019s composed of five glass globes, each suspended from cables, and containing filament bulbs. Windows on two sides of this area make sure it\u2019s ultra light and bright.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

Sage green appears in the bathroom, too, in the matt oblong tiles arranged at angles.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

A glass shield sits around the over-bath rainfall and directional shower.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

The mirror above the basin is framed in lights, controlled by a touch switch. Similar stylng is in the main bedroom\u2019s en-suite. Both look classy and luxurious in an understated manner.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

The lovely sage green colour is also used to good effect in the bedrooms. In the master bedroom, the wall above the green panelling that backs the fawn-upholstered bedhead is papered in a design inspired by a forest of fir trees.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

The simple-style dressing table is flanked by two double wardrobes.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

In the second bedroom, the sage green panelling theme continues, along with the simple-style furniture that we see elsewhere in the Harbur H4 lodge.<\/p>\n

\n

In a nutshell: <\/strong>With build technology that\u2019s new to the holiday lodge and park home arena, new manufacturer Harbur Park and Leisure Homes unveils its latest creation, the H4.<\/p>\n
