Are you being served?
Reserve a house and a butler will help you settle in.

The space and flexibility of three-storey living is ideal for entertaining guests and what better way to make your social occasion a success then to enlist the help of a butler?

Award-winning housebuilder Redrow Homes is offering the services of a qualified butler for the day to all customers who reserve a property at Abbey Manor in Swindon before 12 November.

Sandra Hughes, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), said: "We decided to offer the services of a butler as a unique way of drawing our customers' attention to the benefits of three-storey homes such as the four-bedroom Bradgate and Cropstone, which are perfect for hosting special occasions such as dinner parties.

"With a separate kitchen and dining room guests can enjoy a meal without having to face the mess that comes with preparing it. Afterwards the spacious first floor lounge is the perfect place to retire to for a relaxing drink while children can keep themselves occupied in the bedrooms on the second floor."

Nicholas The Butler will be provided by Temporary Butlers based in Bristol. The company supplies professional butlers to its clients for any social occasions such as weddings or dinner parties.

Nicholas, the founder of the company, said: "In Victorian times butlers were employed as domestic servants by middle class families to demonstrate their wealth and power. They received only a low wage and were responsible for the footman, custody of the plate and control of the cellar.

"Butlers have evolved over time, so much so that there is even a cyber butler in 'Ask Jeeves'. The modern Butler earns an excellent salary and once trained could work any where in the world."

Three-storey homes at Abbey Manor start from £234,995 for a Bradgate, £269,995 for a Cosby and £275,995 for a Cropstone. A three-bedroom two-storey house in the Barkby design is also available for £183,995.

Abbey Manor is located on the outskirts of Swindon at Priory Vale, a purpose-built new community including facilities such as the North Swindon District Shopping Centre, three primary schools, a health centre, restaurants and health club.

The development is ideally placed to benefit from Swindon's excellent facilities and the location also offers convenient commuter access to the M4 motorway at junction 15.
