Cosy new homes in autumn shades.

THE autumn weather means it's more important than ever to find a comfortable, cosy new home.

And those seeking a spot of cheer this month, could visit the Linden showhome at High View in Blaydon, which features rich praline, soft pink and silky cream colours that look good enough to eat.

Yuill Homes has created a modern and sophisticated, yet comfortable and practical showhome.

Interior designer Louise Tucker-Kasonali said: "We have created an inviting environment to help inspire buyers looking for their perfect new home."

Chandeliers and candelabras add sophistication to this spacious living room, which also has warm walnut side tables and a mirrored dining table. French doors illuminate the living area and lead to the garden.

Step through another door into the sleek kitchen with its rich, walnut doors, stainless steel oven, hob and hood and walnut flooring. With a circular table and two silver chairs, this space is perfect for breakfast.

Everything is made easier here - space-saving storage ideas, including glass shelving units on an attractive chrome pole, are displayed as an added extra and allow for an uncluttered dream kitchen.

A cloakroom and downstairs toilet complete the ground floor.

Moving upstairs, the tranquil master bedroom has a faux balcony, spacious robes and an en suite with extra large shower. The bed is dressed in a quilted throw with a dusky rose metallic finish and the window is adorned with dusky pink sheers and full-length silk drapes.

Two further bedrooms are decorated in pink and chocolate with minimalist detailing, alongside a family bathroom.

Lindsay Greenhalgh from Yuill Homes said: "The traditional three-bedroom Linden home is perfect for a family. Yuill Homes has deals available at the moment and we are working with the Government's Homes and Communities Agency to offer HomeBuy Direct on our three-bedroom Linden home."

Lindsay explained: "HomeBuy Direct is a Government-backed initiative with a great range of benefits.

As well as the buyer getting to own 100% of their home - a deposit may not be required - they also only need up to a 70% mortgage because Yuill Homes and the Homes and Communities Agency will provide the rest.

"This is interest-free for the first five years.

"You just pay your mortgage as normal and the equity loan is repaid when you come to sell your home or after 25 years."

The Linden is available for pounds 149,950, but with HomeBuy Direct on a 70/30% equity share, it is available for only pounds 104,965.

High View is close to schools, sports clubs and shops.

It is also within easy reach of the A1, with connections to the Metrocentre and Newcastle, as well as the coast and countryside.
