\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

The Navigator’s Lodge made at Homeseeker’s factory at Rushden in Northamptonshire is a new model for 2014. The model we saw at The Lawns Caravan Extravaganza at Hull back in September was a twin unit, 40ft x 20ft with a distinctly nautical interior d\u00e9cor scheme.<\/p>\n

\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

The living and dining area is open plan with three two seat sofas upholstered in marine blue fabric, with masses of coordinating scatter cushions in a variety of textures, including a rope style fabric, arranged around an electric fire set in a glass frame against a blue wall. Blue can be a cold colour but the striped curtains blended well with the other blue hues and with the light oak cabinets. Wall decorations included a ship\u2019s propeller and light.<\/p>\n

\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

The dining area seated six people and was complemented by a breakfast bar, or socialising area as there\u2019s no need for those on kitchen duties not to participate in conversation, or a need to set the table for two for just a simple meal.<\/p>\n

\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a useful cupboard for coats and other items and a separate cupboard for the Baxi central heating boiler which has an \u201cA\u201d U value for efficiency and economy.<\/p>\n

\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

The kitchen, perhaps it should be called a galley, but it\u2019s certainly not galley shaped, was very well fitted with a wide array of cupboards at eye and base level, including pan drawers, a fridge\/freezer, dishwasher and a microwave a five burner gas hob and an electric oven.<\/p>\n

\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

The master bedroom is designed as a nautical haven with light coloured curtains featuring sailing yachts. The double bed, there\u2019s room for a larger bed if you want one, has a comfortable looking padded headboard.<\/p>\n

\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

You\u2019d expect a large wardrobe and other storage and you wouldn’t be disappointed and the large en-suite shower room has a large rectangular shower with a sliding door. The hand basin is mounted on a wooden stand. The wall tiles were subtle camel colour with contrasting border tiles.<\/p>\n

\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

The second and third bedrooms have twin beds; of course you don\u2019t have to use them both as bedrooms if you prefer to have a hobbies room or a study. In the model we saw the nautical theme had been carried through in the soft furnishings.<\/p>\n

\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

The bathroom, was three-quarter tiled in the same style as the en-suite shower room and was similar to it other than a bath with an over bath shower and acrylic screen.<\/p>\n

\"Homeseeker<\/p>\n

Various design options and sizes are available and this extends to the exterior with a huge range of cladding to create a lodge that is personal to you.<\/p>\n
