Discover the detail and thought that goes into reimagining the Palermo
The Palermo offers generous, thoughtfully designed accommodation over three floors, with flexible spaces that mean you can make your home exactly what you want it to be. The kitchen and dining area spans the entire width of the ground floor, with room for a family sized table and featuring an inbuilt breakfast bar, creating a sociable space to chat as you chop and enjoy the results together.

French doors lead onto the private garden, filling the room with light and making alfresco lunching and summer entertaining easy and inviting. There is also a separate utility room, and cloakroom, plus a snug, which could also be used as a home office or playroom. The spacious first floor lounge is a great place to spend time as a family, or to offer a warm welcome to guests, and its unusual triple window feature maximises natural light.

Down the hall you’ll find two bedrooms and a bathroom with bath and separate shower, so teenagers or overnight visitors can have a private space to call their own, or if you prefer an office upstairs you could claim a bedroom for homeworking.

The second floor is home to the gorgeous master suite, with bedroom, spacious ensuite and dressing areas, as well as two further double bedrooms; or additional wardrobe/office space, depending on your needs and the size of your shoe collection.

Spring wreath workshop…
Thank you Sheereen for organising the spring wreath making workshop at the Strata show home in Glasshoughton. The session was delivered by "The Flower shop" in South Elmsall. With the help and advice of the tutor I made beautiful wreath. Everyone has commented on how lovely it is and especially how nice it smells. I would highly recommend

Verve @ Castleford
Sheereen @ Strata has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. She made the whole buying process easy and stress-free, and has always been quick to sort out any query we've had. I genuinely don't think she could possibly have done any more for us. The same can't be said for some of the aftercare from others since we've been passed on to other members of the team, but Sheereen has always been there to give people a nudge and get things moving.

What a wonderful & relaxing evening
What a wonderful & relaxing evening we had at the yoga night arranged by Sheereen at Strata Verve & hosted by the yoga instructor Sophie. Yoga mats, blocks & bottled water was provided, along with protein bars at the end of the session, which was very well received. Sophie was patient & gave clear instructions on how to move into position, with alternatives to make it a little easier or harder. The session flowed at a nice pace & I didn’t feel rushed going from one position to the next. Thank you to you both for a wonderful evening & I hope you arrange to do another session as I would definitely attend again. Many thanks. David & Becky

Strata are amazing
Strata are amazing. Sheereen before the move and Ali after the move do a wonderful job. The house is beautiful, so well thought out and beautifully designed. The Saville is gorgeous and the video does not do it justice, you really need to be in here to appreciate the light and scale. We have previously had 2 other new builds from different builders and the standard has not been anywhere close to this! Yes, a few minor snags but that is what you expect in a new build and nothing major at all. Strata team go above and beyond and even left a skip for us to fill with the boxes from the move. The whole team are so friendly and welcoming, from the landscaper to the tilers, felt at home from the start. Would definitely buy Strata again.

Strata Verve
We moved to our new house a year and a half ago and are very happy with it. We have only had minor issues and Jeff and his team have been sorting them out. They have been very quick, professional and informative with their job. Nikki from the customer care team has also been very good helping us sorting out the issues.

Verve, Castleford. Customer care operatives have been amazing.
I've experienced a lot of issues with my property which needed sorting and have had to wait a while but once the customer care team have been instructed to do work I can't fault them. Jeff and Ryan have been to my house today and are booked in tomorrow and will finally get the majority of jobs boxed off. They have gone above and beyond and have been so helpful and have been an absolute pleasure to have in my house for the day. Nikki the customer care manager has also been brilliant.

Brilliant
We recently moved into our house at Strata - Verve, and I am grateful with the service we are continuously provided by Sheereen and the Strata staff. This really helped us settle, especially after hearing of some of the horror stories!

Livorno - Strata Verve
Purchased a Livorno at the Strata Verve site last year, I am a solo buyer and was very looked after by Sheereen. Even after moving in I’m still looked after by the after care team. Everyone is lovely as well as the community.
