July 17, 2024

Abode, award-winning designer and distributor of market leading kitchen taps & sinks, Pronteau instant hot water taps, bathroom taps & showering solutions is delighted to be working with JT Ellis and Honey Homes on a sustainable new build development at Lees Lane, South Normanton, near Alfreton in Derbyshire.

Just eight miles from Mansfield and a short drive from Derby and Nottingham, a new community in South Normanton combining the very best in style and sustainability is taking shape. Amber is an exclusive development of two, three and four-bedroom homes which is close to the open countryside and a short walk from the village shops. An inviting show home is open now for visitors to explore and the site is underway. Houses are available to buy off plan with a completion date expected this autumn so homeowners can begin a fresh chapter and celebrate their first Christmas in their new homes.

Graeme Blythe, National Contract Sales Manager at Abode says, “Building new homes in rural locations is hugely important in our regions and requires local knowledge, attention to detail and careful integration into the existing infrastructure and community. As the ethos at Amber is very similar to our own ESG policy at Abode in terms of delivering quality, style and sustainability in the home, we were delighted to be involved.”

“We collaborated with kitchen furniture manufacturer and supplier, JT Ellis, on the design and supply of all sinks and taps. As the Amber development is within an hour of our head office in Barnsley, I am enjoying seeing the progress on site as the blueprints come to life,” he adds.

To complement the stylish high specification of this development, Abode supplied its bestselling R15 Matrix Single bowl stainless steel sink (AW5122) and option for homeowners to upgrade to a Pronteau Prostream 3 IN 1 instant hot water tap (PT1104) also by Abode. The Pronteau Prostream is WRAS-approved and supplied in contemporary Matt Black finish. Its swan neck and dual lever monobloc design ensures that end users can enjoy the convenience of domestic hot, cold and 98° instant steaming hot water, and each model is supplied with a Proboil.2X intelligent hot water boiler, which can be fitted quickly and easily with best-in-class toolless installation.

The bestselling Abode R15 Matrix 1.0 bowl stainless steel sink ensures that homeowners can take care of food prep and home hygiene with ease. The very latest pressing technology has been used to create a very precise shape to the sink with almost square radiuses to ensure that the kitchen planning team could make the most of the available worktop space without compromising on style. The R15 Matrix sink can be installed undermounted or as a low profile inset option, and is available in both a left hand and right-handed option.

Honey Homes was established in 2022 and like Abode, its culture is grounded in excellent customer service, innovation, quality and creativity with products which deliver on both style and substance. The company builds modern homes with a unique approach to design, space and sustainability throughout Yorkshire and the Midlands. The leadership team believe that all homes should have added value as standard and seeks to deliver aspirational, high specification homes for a new generation of property owners. Taking a refreshing approach to housebuilding, Honey creates homes where smarter designs create more interesting spaces thanks to better features, functions and specifications to reflect the personalities of the residents.

For example, the Amber development includes boutique-style bathrooms, rear garden views through bi-fold doors and L-shaped modular kitchens which make a statement. Abode worked closely alongside the kitchen furniture manufacturer JT Ellis and the senior commercial team to choose products which were in keeping with the Honey Homes ethos. The final selection was competitively priced with the perfect finish to complement other fixtures and fittings including – a suite of appliances by Hotpoint, black door hinges, black bathroom brassware and shower frame.
