Kingswood Homes is preparing to unveil its first virtual reality show home at its Spinners Brook development in Lancashire.
Opening alongside two fully-furnished show homes, the VR house is the shell of Kingswood’s four-bedroom Weaver 4 design but unlike other show homes, the only furniture inside is a sofa and a TV.
Lesley Myers, sales director at Kingswood Homes, said: “This is a first for Kingswood Homes, having an empty, unfurnished show home open to the public. The VR show home will allow us to demonstrate the various options available to customers via Shape Your Home.”
Shape Your Home is Kingswood’s innovative concept that allows customers to select from a range of ground and first-floor layouts to create a home that’s built around the way they live.
Lesley continued: “When visitors walk in, they will be invited to put on a VR headset. Our sales consultant will then walk with them into each room and will be able to change room layouts at the click of a button.”
Visitors will be able to explore four different house types with the VR headset on, as well as view different options available to them such as kitchen units colours, cupboard styles, worktops and flooring to give them a real feel of the home with elements that best suit their style.
Lesley added: “While our VR house will allow people to get a feel for the space inside four of our homes, we still wanted to give visitors the chance to physically see and feel what is included in a Kingswood Home with our two other show homes.”
“Kingswood’s all-inclusive specification is anything but standard. Every home we build comes with features such as a Ring doorbell, Nest heating system, AEG appliances including a five-ring gas hob, integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher and floor tiles to the kitchen and bathrooms.”
The five-bedroom Farmhouse 5 and four-bed Haybarn 4 also have a selection of personalisations showcased such as kitchens, dressing areas with fitted wardrobes, additional tiling and options for interior doors.
The Spinners Brook development sits on a 7.2-acre site in the village of Hoddlesden and is named after the former Vernon Carus Mill on which the site sits. Once complete it will offer 72 new homes with countryside views.
