NHBC warranty still valid but limited remaining period
Compact overall size — about 593 sq ft; small third bedroom

Council tax band cheap; no flood risk
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Mill Farm Drive is aimed at first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance, energy-efficient starter home. Built within the last ten years, it still benefits from remaining NHBC cover and an array of fourteen solar panels that help cut running costs. The living spaces are presented in move-in condition, with an open plan kitchen/diner, a lounge with patio doors to the garden, and an additional ground-floor WC for convenience.
The property footprint is compact (approximately 593 sq ft) and the third bedroom is small, so it suits buyers prioritising affordability and low upkeep over generous room sizes. Outside there’s a tandem driveway for two cars and a fully enclosed rear garden with two patio areas and artificial lawns — a practical, low-maintenance outdoor space but not a large lawn for extensive gardening.
Location is a strong selling point: the house sits on a modern development with quick access to the M1 and local amenities including shops, pubs, a playground and good-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, council tax costs are low, and the property has no heightened flood risk.
Buyers should note the compact overall size and only a short remaining period of NHBC warranty; any long-term buyers may want to budget for future maintenance as warranty cover reduces. The current finish is ready to live in, making this a straightforward move for someone prioritising low bills and commuter-friendly location.
