Set on a large plot in the Forster Park development, this four-bedroom detached new build (The Reedmaker) is aimed at growing families seeking modern, energy-efficient living. The ground floor offers a light, open-plan kitchen/dining area with French doors to the garden, a separate living room and utility room for everyday practicality. Two first-floor bedrooms each benefit from en-suite shower rooms and there is additional storage on the landing.
Built with energy-saving features including solar panels, triple glazing and an EV charging point, the home also includes a single garage and two parking spaces. The development carries a 10-year NHBC Buildmark policy and is from a 5-star HBF-rated builder, giving buyers structural cover and a level of quality assurance.
Be aware of material local and practical considerations: the immediate area records very high crime levels, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and there is an estate management charge of £137 per year. Council tax banding is not yet confirmed. The property is being sold chain-free and with new-build flexibility to personalise finishes before completion.
Location benefits are strong for families: easy access to Fairlands Valley Park and local schools, good road links to the A1/M25 and a train link to London in around 34 minutes. Overall this home suits buyers prioritising modern specification, lower running costs and offline outdoor space, while accepting local crime statistics and slower broadband performance.
