A beautiful selection of new-build properties in Austrey, lying mid-way between Tamworth in Staffordshire and Ashby-de-la-Zouch in Leicestershire, have been elevated with the installation of Residence 7 windows in Painswick and Corse Lawn colourways.
Expertly installed by Swadlincote Window Company Ltd, this installation contained 78 windows in total, with the configuration featuring side openers throughout. The choice of The Residence Collection windows brings classic country elegance and premium performance to this traditionally styled, farmhouse-inspired development.
Working in partnership with Lychgate Homes and architectural designers David Granger Architectural Design Ltd, the Austrey Fields project required careful consideration to ensure the windows complemented the rural setting, all while delivering the modern comfort and efficiency expected in a new home. The development itself has been thoroughly designed to fit seamlessly into its surroundings, so the choice of The Residence Collection’s R7 system was therefore a natural fit for both aesthetic and performance reasons.
Manufactured using welded joints, the windows feature 6.4 laminated, planitherm glazing with argon – a specification selected for energy efficiency, acoustic control and enhanced security. The developer also selected beautiful chrome inline handles in order to add a contemporary yet refined finishing touch.
The colours were chosen to create harmony with the style of the rest of the exterior of the homes, as well as contrast each other on the wider development. The Residence 7 windows in Painswick and Corse Lawn on the exterior, paired with a Chalk White interior, deliver a beautifully balanced aesthetic that captures both character and charm.
Painswick, installed on three of the properties, has a soft grey-green hue which echoes the timeless elegance of rural surroundings, and has quickly become one of the most sought-after finishes for the R7 collection. Corse Lawn, installed on the final four, is a darker palette filled with undertones of green, brown and grey which effortlessly creates a classic 19th century feel. The colour choices contrast one another on the development, creating a striking and interesting look throughout. On the inside of each property, the selection of clean, fresh Chalk White will complement any interior palette effortlessly.
Jo Trotman, Marketing Manager at The Residence Collection, added: “This is another stunning example of how the R7 system can elevate both heritage restorations and new-build properties alike. The combination of classic styling, high-performance glazing and meticulous detailing ensures the homes look timeless, while offering everyday comfort and security once the homeowners move in. We have enjoyed working closely with the team at the Swadlincote Window Company on this installation and are delighted that they are so thrilled with the end result.”
