Renowned builder's coastal design breathes inspiration into family home plans
For more than 120 years Plunkett Homes has been building dwellings to perfectly suit the current lifestyle and adapt to how people will live in the future. This expertise includes delivering wonderful first homes to shape your early steps on the property ladder. None deliver a comfortable and flexible first living space more so than the builder's Hamptons-inspired display home – the Boardwalk. Exuding beachside vibes, it features a jetty-style front porch leading to a facade with weatherboard cladding and limestone features – reminiscent of a seaside holiday residence. Crafted to accommodate different price points, homebuilders can opt for the three different specifications. 'The Display specification allows you to build the home as you see it in Eglinton while the Luxe version incorporates the same layout as the display with a modified inclusions list,' Plunkett Homes Sales Manager Aaron Bennett said. 'The Lifestyle version is modified by size and features to suit clients' budgets.' Mr Bennett said the polished abode was a great fit for first homebuyers, particularly young families and couples. 'The well-planned layout makes it cost-effective for a first homebuyer, with the option of three different price points depending on the client's budget,' he said. 'The home suits traditional blocks you would find in most estates across the Perth metropolitan area.' Inside is awash with trendy touches and contemporary elements, including an extra-wide entrance hallway, high ceilings and feature bulkheads. 'The functional layout is perfectly suited to relaxed family living,' Mr Bennett said. 'There's a separate bedroom wing for the children, while the master suite with an enormous walk-in robe and an ensuite is to the front of the home in its own private sanctuary. 'There are two entertaining areas, so parents and kids can unwind separately. 'At the rear, the large open-plan living area opens directly to the alfresco, doubling the entertaining space and creating a breezy coastal feel.' The layout overflows with even more lifestyle additions such as a media room, a drop zone, a scullery and a walk-in pantry in the kitchen, along with the all-important dog shower in the laundry. All the while, timeless Hamptons charm is thoughtfully integrated throughout to create an oceanside dream. 'The many Hamptons-inspired features and finishes include detailed cornices, colonial skirting boards, shaker-style cabinetry, and internal and external feature cladding,' Mr Bennett said, adding that not only does the porch design evoke a jetty but the alfresco does as well. Over the course of its storied history, Plunkett Homes' beautiful builds have had a hand in shaping suburbs – from Yanchep to Baldivis and everywhere in between. Its vast range of products, which comprise country abodes, Hamptons-style designs, double-storey properties and more, have established a place to call home for thousands of buyers. For first homebuyers beginning their journey, the experienced Plunkett Homes team will work closely with you to ensure you get what you deserve. To experience the Boardwalk for yourself, visit the display home at 41 Lorikeet Approach, Eglinton on Wednesday from 2-5pm or Saturday and Sunday from 12-5pm. For more than 120 years, Plunkett Homes has been providing Western Australians a place to call home, with designs to suit every family's lifestyle.

Seaside town named one of best in the UK is loved by families who visit
Southwold's pristine beach makes it a hit for both families and those looking to dip their toes in the sea. Pier beach is flanked by a promenade that stretches all the way to the harbour Like many coastal regions of the UK, the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk offer a plethora of seaside delights perfect for day trips and longer holidays. Southwold presents the picture-perfect British seaside outing for people of all ages and the Camping and Caravanning Club has even rated it as one of Britain's top seaside towns. Southwold's safe, pristine beach makes it a hit for both families and those looking to dip their toes in the sea, earning it Blue Flag status and a Seaside Award in 2024. The town boasts two lovely beaches; Pier beach brims with striking beach huts while Denes beach – more secluded and favoured by windsurfers and canoeists – backs onto dunes and marshland. For added fun, Southwold Pier hosts quintessential seaside amusements, including an arcade bursting with vintage games and Tim Hunkin's "eccentric" Under the Pier Show. Hungry visitors can savour fare at various spots on the pier, be it the fish and chip shop, indulging in lunch or dinner at the Boardwalk restaurant with ocean views, or the Clockhouse for breakfast and homemade cakes, reports Cambridgeshire Live. Pier beach is flanked by a promenade that stretches all the way to the harbour area, with the town centre just a short stroll away for those keen on a spot of shopping. Southwold's high street is brimming with independent shops and boutiques waiting to be discovered, including Pearls by the Sea, a family-run clothing shop that also offers gifts and accessories, and Squires of Southwold, a sweet shop and tea room boasting over 150 different types of sweets. Little Gems, a popular greengrocers, is worth popping into if you're after some fresh fruit for your trip or local products to take back home. The shop was nominated in the regional Muddy Stilettos Awards for best farm shop in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. If you fancy a break from the beach, why not visit Southwold Museum? Housed in a quaint cottage, the museum offers interactive exhibitions and displays featuring fossil remains and information about Southwold's transformation from a fishing community to a seaside resort. Southwold is less than two hours' drive from Cambridge via the A14. There's a car park near the pier that charges £4 for a 10-hour stay, but there are other free parking spaces dotted around the town.
