This new-build three-bedroom detached home at Plot 129, Hurworth Meadows is designed for first-time buyers looking for a ready-to-move-in starter home. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and fitted wardrobe, the rear lounge opens via bifold doors to a modest garden, and the front kitchen/dining room provides practical family space. The property is sold with flooring and integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher included.
Energy-efficiency features appeal to modern running-cost concerns: premium insulation, rooftop solar panels and an electric vehicle charging point help reduce bills. The house is freehold and comes with an EPC Band B rating. As part of a managed development there is an estate management charge of approximately £110 + VAT per year.
Be realistic about scale and location: the overall footprint is small (about 612 sq ft) with compact room sizes suited to a small family or couple rather than those needing generous living areas. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, which may affect home working. Local area statistics show higher crime and significant deprivation, so buyers should factor neighbourhood context into their decision.
The sale includes a targeted first-time buyer package: £5,000 toward a deposit and £1,000 toward legal fees, which reduces upfront costs. For buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance starter home with energy-saving kit and on-plot parking, this offers clear value — but it is not a large family house and carries the typical constraints of a new development in a higher-crime, deprived area.
