This two-bedroom semi-detached new build on Diamond Road is a compact, energy-efficient home designed for modern living. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with French doors creates a bright, flexible ground floor, while two first-floor bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom suit a first-time buyer or small household.
The house benefits from high levels of insulation, PV solar panels, an air-to-water heat pump and an electric vehicle charging point, which should reduce running costs. An allocated off-street parking space and a private garden add practical everyday appeal. The property is freehold and sits in an affluent area with no flood risk.
Notable downsides are factual: broadband speeds are reported as very slow, local crime levels are high, and council tax banding is not yet available until post-occupation. Room sizes are modest (total 731 sq ft), so storage and living space are more compact than larger family homes. Overall, this is a sensible, low-carbon starter home with some local infrastructure and connectivity trade-offs.
