\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Homeseeker Park and Leisure Homes Olympia Silver Single unit is well named for 2012 and is one of the company\u2019s Signature range of models.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The side entrance door leads into a hallway with the open plan living area to the left and the two bedrooms to the right. We liked the size of the open plan kitchen\/living area; it looks bigger than 14 ft wide but the horizontally striped feature wallpaper obviously helped create that illusion and the corner sofa created a big floor space and large feature French doors and glazing to the front aspect allowed the light to flow in. The d\u00e9cor scheme was lovely yellow, buttermilk cream, charcoal and black and it harmonised well. We liked the breakfast bar, perfect for just the two of you, but the black glass table with four faux leather chairs would suit the bill for more formal dining.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The light reflected off the gloss finish kitchen cupboards fitted with black base units and cream eye level cupboards but most of the storage space is below the worktops. If I had a criticism I would say that I think the kitchen is short on mains electric sockets in the right place; I saw only two double sockets. A dishwasher, oven, four burner gas hob, extractor fan and fridge freezer are standard equipment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Both the bedrooms feature sliding mirror door wardrobes and capacious is how I\u2019d describe the wardrobe in the master bedroom. The feature wall highlights the luxury padded headboard in the master bedroom and complements the plush looking stripy black and cream curtains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jack and Jill doors lead to the spacious bathroom with an over bath shower with a fixed shower screen. The huge mirror might be overkill for some people and I would have preferred to see more storage space and a shaver socket.<\/p>\n

The second bedroom has room for decent sized twin beds, each with a padded headboard. A hall cupboard houses the hot water and heating boiler.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Included throughout is a luxury furniture pack, designer light fittings, upgraded kitchen units, integrated Electrolux kitchen appliances and luxury designer curtain fabric. Potential owners can stamp their individuality on it with for example a couple of Velux roof lights, or a wall tile upgrade.<\/p>\n

With it\u2019s dormer over the side entrance and a feature gable to the roof, even the exterior has a degree of pizzazz.<\/p>\n
